Samoyedic languages The language and respective ethnic groups are traditionally divided into Northern (Tundra) and Southern groups, and the latter further into Taiga and Mountain groups; these are areal rather than genealogical groupings.
Samoyedic languages The Southern Samoyedic languages, of which only the Selkup language has survived to the present day, historically ranged across a wide territory in central Siberia, extending from the basin of the Ob River in the west to the Sayan-Baikal uplands in the east. Records up to the 18th century sporadically report several further entities such as "Abakan", "Kagmasin", "Soyot", though there is no clear evidence for any of these constituting separate languages, and all available data appears to be explainable as these having been simply early forms of Kamassian or Mator.
Samoyedic languages The term "Samoyedic" is derived from the Russian term "samoyed" () for some indigenous peoples of Siberia. The term has come to be considered derogatory because it has been interpreted by some ethnologists as originating from Russian "samo-yed" meaning 'self-eater', i.e. 'cannibal'. Samoyedic etymologists, however, reject this etymology and instead trace the term's origin to the expression "saam-edne", meaning the Land of the Sami peoples. The word "Samodeic" has been proposed as an alternative by some ethnologists.
Samoyedic languages Genealogical classifications point to an early divergence of Nganasan and (perhaps to a lesser degree) Mator, with Enets–Nenets–Yurats and Kamas–Selkup forming internal branches.
Samoyedic languages The Samoyedic () or Samoyed languages () are spoken on both sides of the Ural mountains, in northernmost Eurasia, by approximately 25,000 people altogether. They derive from a common ancestral language called Proto-Samoyedic, and form a branch of the Uralic languages. Having separated perhaps in the last centuries BC, they are not a diverse group of languages, and are traditionally considered to be an outgroup, branching off first from the other Uralic languages.
