Geographical distribution of Samoyedic, Finnic, Ugric and Yukaghir languages The Samoyedic languages are spoken on both sides of the Ural mountains, in northernmost Eurasia, by perhaps 30,000 speakers altogether.
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).
Geographical distribution of Yukaghir, Finnic, Ugric and Samoyedic languages The Yukaghir languages are a family of related languages spoken in Russia by the Yukaghir, a Siberian people, living in the basin of the Kolyma River.

 ON THE BORDER OF TWO WORLDS
For the second obviously the Ugric group was the more Eastern (Ugors show more affinity to "Asia" even in physical antropology than Finns, and now 2 of the 3 Ugric languages are in Asia), but maybe for average latitude there was no significant difference.
Ugric Magyars in their steppe times (until 1000 AD) were no second to anybody on horseback.
And "kengy" is regularly Ugric: Magyar "kengy" = Man'shi "ken's'" = Khanti "kentsh".

 The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire
The language of the Khants is one of the Finno-Ugric languages, comprising together with the Mansi and Hungarian languages the Ugric language group, and together with the Mansi language the Ob-Ugric subgroup.
It is assumed that the Khants and the Mansis separated during the 13th century when the Khants moved eastwards.
The separation of the Ugric peoples and dissolution of their clan system was accelerated by the military interests of the Russians and Tatars in these territories and their natural resources.

 Origin of Finnish and related languages — Virtual Finland
The group of Ugric languages is linguistically uniform but geographically diffuse.
In particular, the link between Hungarian and the Ob-Ugric languages spoken on the Siberian side of the Ural Mountains has been (and still is) considered uncertain, but from a purely linguistic viewpoint the relationship is indubitable.
These groupings are based not so much on kinship and mutual intelligibility as on historical innovations that separate languages from other branches and language groups in the language family.

 Khanty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Jointly with the Mansi and Hungarians, the Khanty language comprises the Ugric groups of the Finno-Ugric languages.
The subsequent stage of ethnic interactions, which resulted in some of the Ob Ugrians assumed some elements of the Samoyedic culture, continued as late as the first ages of the second millennium.
Another view claims that the Andronovo culture is to be related to the Iranian ethnos rather than with the Ugric ethnic element, and the Kulai culture is thought to be the most ancient.

 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.
There are a lot of the toponyms of the Ugric origin in the Komi Republic, for example: Vychegda originated from Mansi "vich" - "moist meadow" and "jegda" - "river": the name of the Vym river - from Mansi "jem" - "holy".

 Usein kysyttyä suomalais-ugrilaisista kielistä
Nowadays, many linguists draw a more bush-like model, with the main branches (Finnic, Sámi, Mordvin, Mari, Permian, Ugric, Samoyed) all equal; their internal relationships cannot be satisfactorily accounted for in terms of the family-tree model.
The proto-language was spoken at least some six thousand years ago (roughly at the same time as the Indo-European proto-language), which means that the most distant branches of the FU language family are very distantly related.
Khanty of the Ugric branch, Selkup of the Samoyed branch and also Ket or "Yenisey Ostyak", a "Palaeo-Siberian" language outside the Uralic language family, and this usage still confuses the local authorities and their statistics, even the local people themselves!)

 Possible Language Shifts in the Uralic Language Group
One may wonder why there are only a couple of suffixal case forms in regular case paradigms of some Ob-Ugric dialects, while in other dialects as well as Hungarian the paradigm is built up mainly as a result of grammaticalisation of postpositions, i.e., with recent suffixal case forms, developed from postpositional constructions.
The declension paradigm with suffixal case forms in Ugric languages seems to have been reduced at some stage and replaced by postpositional constructions.
It should also be kept in mind that all the modern Ugric languages testify to the pidginisation process, first of all in the form of the reduction of the word-changing system of substantives.

 Hungary - Origins and Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Hungarian people are thought to have originated in an ancient Finno-Ugric population that originally inhabited the forested area between the Volga River and the Ural Mountains.
Sometime between the first and fifth centuries A.D., after the Ugric and Finnic peoples had split, Ugric tribes in the eastern portion of the territory moved farther south, intermingling with nomadic Bulgar-Turkish peoples.
Some of these tribes settled in the Carpathian Basin in the ninth century A.D. and became the direct ancestors of today's inhabitants of Hungary.

The theoretical and methodological frameworks established in the last decades are combined with the historical-comparative method in the studies which aim to discover the lexical innovations in the Ob-Ugric protolanguage, the common ancestor of Ostyak and Vogul.
Also novel are those studies which attempt to describe the rules regulating the buildup of sound sequences in the Ugric and Obi-Ugric protolanguages.
The Samoyedic research group at the department, consisting primarily of young researchers, specializes on describing Nganasan (Tavgi-Samoyed), one of the most endangered Samoyedic languages.

 The Hungarian Language
For long it has been believed that Hungarian belongs to the Ugric branch of the Uralic language family based on a relatively large number of words (~300-400) of Finno-Ugric origin in the language.
Hungarian, like other Finno-Ugric languages is agglutinative, which means word meanings are modified by adding different and multiple endings or suffixes to the words, rather than using prefixes like, for example, in English.
Ármin Vámbéry, another well-known Turkologist of the last century suggested that Hungarian is an "ugricized" Turkic language rather than a pure Ugric language.
