The Nganasan language is a moribund Samoyedic language spoken by the Nganasan people. In 2010 it was spoken by only 125 out of 860 Nganasan people in the southwestern and central parts of the Taymyr Peninsula. The younger generation speaks almost no Nganasan (only 10-15%).
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
siberian cultures have always been fascinating to me, thank you for this video
I really like it, that you speak little more about the people
3:06 eye - sjejmy - szem in Hungarian! It almost sounded like "szeme" (his/her eye in Hungarian)
An interesting thing about Nganasans that Е. A. Helimsky noticed in his field research is that they seemed to have a highly standardized literary language that was used in their epic poetry, as well as a tradition of purism and linguistic meta-knowledge unexpected from a people with an until very recently unwritten culture.
Helimsky also suggests that this might have contributed to the eventual moribund status of the language, as the older generations might have made a conscious choice to let their children become Russian speakers than let their own language live on in a distorted form. While this may sound like victim blaming and making excuses for assimilationist policies, in the same article he clearly acknowledges that the Soviet sedentiarization campaign has been comparable to a genocide in terms of its consequences and that the Soviet approach to standardizing minority languages has resulted in standard languages so heavily russified as to not assist at all in revitalizing native cultures.
An important reason what led to the Russification of the small Siberian nations was that when their parents continued with their semi-nomadic lifestyle (reindeer herding), the kids were put into state schools where they were unable to see their parents for several months.
These Siberian tribes look very similar to Indigenous people of the Americas especially those from Canada and the United States.
@@myself5812 take a closer and better look at native Americans
This people close to finno-ugryc
They’re related
I think I heard my teacher once say they share some genetic similarities, but anyway the theory is that they got to North America when Alaska was still connected to Eastern Russia
There are certain cultural similarities to various groups in the Americas. Their tents resemble tepees, they wear animal skins. They also have wooden art that resembles that from the Pacific Northwestern US.
it feels great to know how rich our human culture legacy as a whole is.
As a hungarian I feel hearing the sample as a made up language by Hungarian elders. Somehow it's strangely familiar
I've been having a lot of fun lately studying cultures and languages in Russia and Central Asia. It's a huge swathe of area you don't normally get to learn about, yet I've always been curious. Usually I focus more on the Mongolia area, but I felt it was time to learn the rest of the central continent.
The "squeezed her brains out" story ends on a cliffhanger every time! 😡
What a story
Can you make a video about the language families of the Caucasus?
FINALLY!! Somebody talk about asians of russia! Thank you!
These people look nothing like us Hungarians but I feel so deeply for our Uralic family that I consider them our lost brothers and sisters. I would do anything for the preservation of Uralic languages but it's really tricky to do anything. Ironically I have to learn Russian first to study these languages as practically all available sources about them are in Russian.
It does make sense because your people after entering europe and establishing The Principality of Hungary Hungary inherited obvious amounts of Europeans sense it’s in Europe and after so long much of your dna share with the surrounding Balto Slavic peoples
This new format got me going like 🕺🏼
Their facial features and even their clothing (esp. those snow goggles) are remarkably similar to the Inuit of Canada's Arctic, and the Yup'ik in Alaska. They must be related somewhere along the way, with those territories being neighbors
Can you make video of Paleoasian language, please.
Another great video.
Fascinating people

I wonder if the mysterious substrate are from an extinct paleosiberian language that the nganasan replaced/absorbed
Most likely, and there is no much reason to call it "mysterious". Today, there still are several languages in Siberia, like Ket or Yukagir, what are either language isolates, or the only remnants of the family; and, these languages are vanishing. Nothing strange in it, that some others simply disappeared long before the written history began. Another substrate of unknown origin can be traced in the Saami (and in lesser extent, Finnic) languages. Similar things happened in Western Europe as well, like with Etruscan f.e, just there is some documentation left about it.
I think a relative of Yukaghir could be the substrate
@@forgottenmusic1 might also include Sakha, which gas about 20% of its vocabulary being of completely unknown origin, and Hungarian, which also has a layer of vocabulary with mysterious origins as well.
I’m disappointed that there were no pictures of Samoyed dogs.
Hi Andy. ❤️
sounds like an old turkish granny yapping about something
Are numbers similar to finnic numbers?
There is a similarity that the beginning of number 8 is related with number 2 (in Estonian: kaheksa; kaks), and maybe, 9 and 1 are related as well similar to Finnic languages; but any numbers except 7 (Est: seitse) are totally indifferent.
Not at all. Only 7 is somewhat similar, but it seems that the Samoyedic 7 has different origins through an independent development. Some of the basic vocabulary like "father", "mother", "bone" and "why" along with others not present here show resemblance though.
Please Butuanon Language
northernmost language in the world
Andy! Please Quebecoise french language.....
Okay....
I need a volunteer. 💖
Northmost language in the world.
Ngan people is Half Mongol love ❤
And Half Rosian people=Samojed
Mongols are closer to Central Asian groups and Han Chinese than they are to the Nganasans or other Samoyedic groups.
@@jokemon9547 buryats are closer to nganasan than to Han Chinese or central Asians
няˮ or njaʔ
the first is cyrillic, the second is latin, though it isnt read as /njaʔ/ , it's rather /ɲaʔ/
If the americas didn't exist, we wouldn't have any idea about the unique siberian languages that are going extict because of immigration from the more populated south.
Nganasans or taymyrs this Peoples are turkic People
No they are Samoyedic (Uralic) not turkic
@@Erik-ji9lx o ok thanks but turkic Peoples and uralic Peoples are cousins?
If the "Eurasiatic languages" hypothesis is correct, the Uralic languages might be distantly related to Turkic.
