	Uralic languages Summary
		The closest relatives of Hungarian, however, the Ob'-Ugrian languages, are spoken in the Asiatic part of Russia, east of the Ural Mountains, in the basin of the river Ob';.
		The genetic relationship of the Finno-Ugrian languages was established as early as the eighteenth century; the Samoyedic languages were added to the Uralic family by the mid-nineteenth century.
		The healthiest Uralic languages, in terms of the number of native speakers and national identity, are Estonian, Finnish, and Hungarian.

	the estonian language
		Although the vocabulary and grammar of the language used by people in those days have changed beyond recognition, the mentality of the tundra hunters of thousands of years ago can be still perceived in modern Estonian.
		The first doctor of the Finno-Ugric languages of Estonian origin was Mihkel Veske who did research into the history of the Estonian language in the 1870s; the Estonian Writers' Union, established in 1871, undertook the task of standardising the common language.
		In 1919, a professorship of the Estonian language was established at the University of Tartu where Estonian became the language of study in the same year.

	THE NENETS
		The language of the Nenets belongs to the Samoyedic branch of the Uralic languages, comprising together with the Enets and Nganasan languages its Northern Group.
		The structure and basic vocabulary of the language are descended from the common Samoyedic foundation.
		In 1932 the Nenets literary language was established on the basis of the Bolshaya Zemlya vernacular (one of the Central vernaculars), using the Latin alphabet.

	Finno-Ugric languages - Wikipedia Mirror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A portion of the Baltic-Finnic lexicon is not shared with the remaining Finno-Ugric languages and may be due to a pre-Finnic substrate, which may coincide in part with the substrate of the Indo-European Baltic languages.
		As far as the Sami (Lappic) languages are concerned, a hypothesis has been advanced that the ancestors of the Sami originally spoke a different language, but adopted their current tongue under the pressure of their Finnic-speaking neighbours.
		Another dispute surrounds the affinity of the Yukaghir languages, which is traditionally regarded as a language isolate, with some scholars proposing a strong affinity to Uralic (Collinder, 1965).

	Finno-Ugric language family
		Komi language is included into the Finno-Ugric language family and forms a Permic group of the Finno-Ugric languages with the Udmurt language, which is the closest to Komi.
		Totally 16 languages are included into Finno-Ugric family, which were developed from the united basic language in the deepest antiquity: Hungarian, Mansi, Khanty (The Group of the Ugric languages), Komi, Udmurt (Permic group), Mari, two Mordvin languages - Erzya and Moksha, Balto-Finnic languages - Finnish, Karelian, Izhora, Veps, Vod, Estonian, Liv languages.
		In 1918 the Syktyvkar dialect was chosen as a base for the Komi literary language, because it was the central dialect among the Komi ones geographically and linguistically.

		The near 20 percent fluctuation in the figures for native language speakers is quite inexplicable.
		She knew nothing of the language or customs of the Nganasans, nevertheless she set upon an unrestrained attack on their way of life and tiraded against institutions such as shamanism.
		No separate dictionary of the language exists though some lexical material is to be found in A. Joki's dictionary of the Northern Samoyedic languages (Kleinere Wörterverzeichnisse aus dem Jurak-, Jenissei- und Tawgy-Samojedischen, 1956).

	Linguist List - Reviews Available for the Book
		Thus, the contributors have not been afraid to discuss the Caucasian or Samoyedic languages, as well as discussing a number of languages not native to Europe which have been brought by a number of recent migrations, and the various sign languages used by the hearing-impaired communities.
		For example, with the entry on Albanian (contributed by Monica Genesin), a brief introduction to the language is followed by a discussion of its history, its earliest texts, the literary tradition, the standard language, what scripts have been used for the language, the dialects, foreign influences, the present situation and outlying communities.

		The Samoyedic and Yukaghir languages are spoken in northern Russia.
		However, proponents of the Nostratic school postulate that the Uralic languages are indeed related to those of the Indo-European, Altaic, Kartvelian and Dravidian families.
		The modern standard language is based on efforts started during the 18th century of incorporating eastern and western dialects.

	East Asian Studies 210 Notes: Samoyeds
		The Samoyedic language group is distantly related to Finnish and Hungarian.
		Of these southern Samoyedic peoples, only the Selkup remain; the other tribes merged with the Turkic peoples and later with the Russians, losing their language and culture in the process.
		Whoever these peoples were, and there is evidence that they may have been related to the Chukchi and Eskimo of the Bering Sea area, the Samoyedic speakers seem to have absorbed them and caused their disappearance as a distinct ethnic group.

		The Finno-Ugrian or Uralic language family includes a group of languages (mainly) in northern Eurasia.
		Other Finno-Ugrian languages are smaller, practically all of them more or less endangered.
		Since language is not inherited genetically, linguistic relationship does not necessarily imply a genetic relationship between speakers (no more than there is, for example, between all the speakers of present-day Indo-European languages).

		Both were sent with clear instructions – Toivo Lehtisalo was to conduct fieldwork among Northern Samoyedic languages which he did in 1911-12 and 1914; Kai Donner was sent to document Southern Samoyedic languages in 1911-1913 and 1914.
		The Enets examples in her 1973 monograph on the syntax of the basic sentence in the Samoyedic languages (Tereščenko 1973) could derive from this expedition, but could also result from work at the Herzen Institute..
		After 18 sentences (= 2 texts) on Enets during 50 years of research, Mikola and Pusztay published their small notes and improved the situation and it is perhaps needless to say, that the quality of their transcriptions beats the Russian transcription with ease..

	Uralic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The researchers who assume a distinction between Samoyed and Finno-Ugric argue that Proto-Uralic originally split into Proto-Samoyed and Proto-Finno-Ugric.
		Theories proposing a special relationship with the Altaic languages have formerly been popular, based on shared vocabulary as well as grammatical and phonological features (e.g., agglutination, vowel harmony), but are now generally rejected by most linguists, who view such similarities as resulting from language contact.

		Uralic is the reconstructed stone age language which was the source of the later Finn-Ugor and Samoyedic languages.
		In comparing this language to such later languages as FinnoUgrian, Indo European and Altaic it must be kept in mind that this is much older and as such is more primitive than later languages and is much less completely known than later languages.
		Todays FinnoUgrian languages are amongst the most conservative languages in the world.

		In brief, the application of the comparative method to the reconstruction of Proto-Uralic morphosyntax has proven quite successful and this case shows that at least in some instances, we are capable of syntactic reconstruction (Jahunen 1982; Cambel 1990).
