  Yukaghir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yukaghir, or Yukagirs (Юкагиры in Russian; self-designation: одул (odul), деткиль (detkil')) are a people in East Siberia, living in the basin of the Kolyma River.
The Yukaghir language is a language isolate, now thought to be distantly related to the Uralic languages.
The surviving tribes are the Odul of Nelemnoe, the Vadul of Andryushkino and the Chuvan of Anadyr river area.

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.
Yukaghir legends and folklore tell of this simultaneous invasion of the Russians and the Sakha, beginning an age of decline and ethnocide for the Yukaghir.
The two last principal groups of Yukaghir are centred in the Kolyma region, in the north-east of Yakutia: in the Upper Kolyma, the descendendents of different clans of the taiga, hunters and fishers are clustered in the village of Nelemnoe, situated on the Yasachnaya River and at Zyryanka.

 Sakha Republic (Yakutia) - A Short History of the Yukagir
In the 17th century, the Yukaghir still occupied vast territories in the north-east of Siberia, from the Lena River to the Anadyr (from the west to the east) and from the arctic shore to the upper reaches of the Yana, Indigirka and Kolyma rivers (from the north to the south).
The first Yukaghir writer and intellectual, Tekki Odulok, was shot by firing squad in 1937 for having dared to denounce the Tsarist regime as architects of the extermination of the Yukaghir.
The Yukaghir, valiant defenders of their lands, intrepid warriors and without fear, did not attack upon this first encounter with these reindeer, that is to say the Yakut horses, thinking that they were the worse danger, and did not pay any attention to the riders.

The Yukaghirs are autochthons of the North-East of Siberia, but their territory and population have considerably decreased during the last few centuries.
Yukaghir settlements became permeated by Russian officials and specialists, and Russian became the principal language of communication with the new populations.
Finally, the lower number of Yukaghirs in the 1979 census in comparison to the 1989 census may be explained by the fact that the policy of the local authorities was to diminish the number of Yukaghirs, typically in favor of Yakuts.

 The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire
The Yukaghir population was considerably reduced in the 17th--19th centuries owing to epidemics, internecine warfare and the colonization policy of the tsarist government -- partly also due to their assimilation by the Chukchi, Yakut, Even and Russian peoples.
The majority of the Yukaghir people had been assimilated by that time: the nomadic reindeer herders from the upper Anadyr had switched to using the Koryak and Chukchi languages, and the Yukaghir on the River Yana had Evenized, and the settled fishermen from the middle Anadyr had adopted Russian.
While in the mid-17th century the Yukaghir numbered approximately 4,700, by the 1680s the population had fallen to 3,700 and by the end of the century the number was 2,600 (B. Dolgikh).

 LINGUIST List 14.2413: Language Description: Maslova (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
M states that the development of these increasingly contact-influenced forms of Yukaghir by younger speakers for whom Russian has become the dominant native tongue resulted from a conscious preference on the part of native speakers faced with the alternative of losing their traditional ethnic language altogether (24).
Yukaghir, in fact, is a language with a typologically noteworthy pragmatic split in subject/object marking.
Also refreshing is M's determination to describe Yukaghir syntax from a functional perspective, taking her lead from the categories of form and usage that are significant for this particular language, rather than trying to pigeon-hole the available data into preconceived slots reflecting the latest version of this or that linguistic theory.

 Walter de Gruyter - A Grammar of Kolyma Yukaghir   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is one of the two surviving languages of the Yukaghir family, which is considered by different scholars either as an isolate left over from before the expansion of other languages and language families into Siberia, or as a distant relative of the Uralic family.
In many ways, Yukaghir fits the grammatical type widespread among the languages of Siberia, namely that of predominantly verb-final dependent-marking language with relatively rich agglumative morphology and deranking strategies of clause linking.
These include Yukaghir focus-marking system, differential object marking based on global effects of person hierarchy, the obligatory use of bound possesive markers to indicate non-coreference of the possessor with the subject, elaborated switch-reference system, initimate interaction between aspect and valence-changing derivation, etc.

 Yukaghir
The poetry of the Yukaghir, a poor hunting tribe in eastern Siberia, consists of improvisations or verses handed down from narrator to narrator or from singer to singer through generations.
As can be seen, verses from these people deal with familiar themes in human life: experience of aging, expression of love, appeals to a harsh environment for relief, and celebration of a birth.
The number of speakers of Yukaghir has diminished greatly since these verses were collected.

It is probable that the origins of the Evens do not lie with the Tungus, but that their way of life and language did change considerably under the influence of the Tungus.
On the Chukchi Peninsula they had contacts with the Chukchi, and in the river basin of the Kolyma they assimilated a considerable number of the Yukaghirs and an Even-Yukaghir cultural area was formed there.
The assimilation of the Yukaghirs and the Koryaks explains the threefold increase in the population of the Evens.
