From the end of July till the end of August I spent five weeks in the Olenekskij district, which I chose because it is the more accessible of the two districts on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in which the northwestern dialect is spoken in an unmixed form.

According to an ethnographic monograph, the data for which was collected in the 1940’s, the aboriginal inhabitants of Yakutia’s northwest are ethnic Yakuts who adopted Evenki reindeer breeding practices and Evenki culture; this was vehemently denied by some of my probands and informants.
