The Yukaghir Languages (original) (raw)
There are now two Yukaghir languages, Tundra (Northern) and Kolyma (Southern) Yukaghir, spoken in several small communities in the Yakut (Saha) Republic in the North-East of Russia. As of 1987, there were approximately 150 native speakers of Tundra Yukaghir, and less than 50 speakers of Kolyma Yukaghir. The genetic affiliation of Yukaghir is controversial: some linguists take these languages to be an isolated language group, others, a branch of the Yukaghir-Ural language family.
