	Endangered uralic minority cultures
		In order to preserve the Uralic languages and culture, thereby enriching a developing Europe, the Assembly should urge the Russian Federation and the other countries where these are present to support these people’s languages, cultures and traditions, through education in their own mother tongues and through publications and mass media in their languages.

		All of the Uralic peoples had a vivid costume tradition which set them apart from the Indo-European population up to the end of the pre-industrial society; a tradition which is still kept alive among the hunters and herders and which still functions as a national symbol for the other peoples.

	Indo-Uralic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Indo-Uralic is a hypothetical language family consisting of Indo-European and Uralic (and maybe further related languages).
		The most common argument in favour of such a relationship is based on seemingly common elements of morphology, such as the pronominal roots m- (first person) and t- (second person), or the accusative case ending in *-m.
		One problem in the research is that often it is assumed that similar words in Uralic and Indo-European languages are loans from IE to Uralic, even if this is not chronologically possible.

		In some cases, especially in the case of the “lesser-used” languages, this information may have been inferred from the preferred quotation marks used by a “dominant” language in the area in which the “lesser-used” language is found.

		Finno-Ugric Languages, subfamily of the Uralic languages spoken by about 25 million people in parts of northern Scandinavia, eastern Europe, and northwestern Asia.
		It is one of two such subfamilies, the other being the Samoyed languages spoken in northwestern Siberia.
		The widespread use of separate subjective and objective conjugations among the Uralic languages (as in Mordvin, Ugric, and Samoyedic) are the result of an original system for singling out the subject or object for emphasis (focus), and not simply a device for object-verb agreement (similar to subject agreement).

	Possible Language Shifts in the Uralic Language Group
		I am convinced that Uralic languages do not descend from one, more or less unitary proto-language, spoken about 8,000–4,000 years ago in the Uralic proto-home in West Siberia, South Urals or in the Volga area from where the speakers of that proto-language began to spread out, primarily westward, just as the traditional Uralicists usually suppose.
		The language shift is testified by the Paleosiberian substratum in Samoyed languages.
		Accordingly, it may be concluded that whichever the language – a Uralic or non-Uralic –, brought behind the ice field by the Lapps’ ancestors, it certainly preserved well under the conditions of isolation.
