		The southern Selkups, living on both sides of the Ob river, had already for some time had contact with Russians, and were well on their way to assimilation, while the northern Selkups lived in relative isolation in the Taz river valley.
		The economic regress of the Selkups by the beginning of the 17th century is explained by the abundance of fur-bearing mammals characteristic of Western Siberia, which became one of the major centers of the concentration of fur traders from various countries of that time.
		Reindeer herding was the occupation of the northern Selkups.

		Selkup is the only living representative of the Southern subgroup of the Samoyed branch of the Uralic language family, spoken by the Selkups, an indigenous minority of Siberia.
		The Northern dialect of Selkup is not uniform.
		As the sub-dialects of the Northern Selkup are inter-intelligible, as a rule, the informant recognised the Selkup word, commented on the wrong way the word had been pronounced, and then pronounced it in his own way, according to the norms of his own sub-dialect.

		First: for languages closely related (or dialects of the same language, or a pidgin and its lexifier language), it is so easy to borrow not only words but affixes, structures and other features that a massive influx of borrowings can almost or completely cover some original features.
		At the same time, however, it is rarely suggested that a language family (or what to be a language family) could come about simply as a result of convergence processes operating among spatially adjacent languages without their sharing a common descent.
		The language shift is testified by the Paleosiberian substratum in Samoyed languages.
