	East Asian Studies 210 Notes: Samoyeds
		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.
		The Samoyedic language group is distantly related to Finnish and Hungarian.
		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.
