This article is devoted to our experience of solving this problem. At the beginning, we give a brief overview of the concept of vitality and various scales that exist for the classification of languages according to this parameter. Particular attention is paid to the ELCat scale, the use of which is shown on the example of Bezhta (the Bezhta proper dialect), Northern Selkup, Evenki and Khakas languages. We describe some controversial points in the ELCat methods and propose an adjustment for some of them in accordance with the specifics of the languages in question. For example, since the level of language vitality can be different in different communities, we estimate vitality level separately for each of them. In addition, a specification of the values of the parameters “intergenerational transmission of language” and “the ratio of the number of speakers and ethnic group” is introduced. In the final part of the article, we discuss general problems arising in determining the vitality level of languages associated with the sources of original data.

Practically all speakers reside in the north of Western Siberia. Selkup has had restricted written use for about 150 years; from the late 1930s on the orthography is based on Cyrillic script. Northern Selkup dialects show variation in both phonology and morphology. Here a description of the Middle Taz dialect will be given, and specific features of the other local dialects of Northern Selkup will only be mentioned. This chapter will describe the Middle Taz Selkup phonology with its forty-one vowels and sixteen consonants, rich morphonology, derivation and inflection, and syntax (special attention will be paid to the word order, which is often described as SOV, although in practice, the word order in Selkup is not very strict). The chapter ends with a glossed text example.

The main subject of the research is languages of Russia and Vietnam. The monograph presents a sociolinguistic classification of languages of these two polyethnic countries based on the volume of their social functions, analyses of the dynamics of language situations in polyethnic Russia and Vietnam. The legislative basis of the language life in both countries is considered in the research. The appendix includes the “Glossary of Sociolinguistic Terms” in Russian, English and Vietnamese.

This site is created as an open information resource containing materials on the functioning and structure of minority languages of Russia and their local varieties. Methods of data visualization in five areas are considered: genealogy, areal distribution, domains of language usage, dynamics of language usage and phonetic data representation. For each area, theoretical problems, related tasks and technical implementation are indicated, and prospects for further work are discussed.
