This is a navigational template created using {{navbox}}. It can be transcluded on pages by placing {{Samoyedic languages}} below the standard article appendices.

Initial visibility

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

  • {{Samoyedic languages|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
  • {{Samoyedic languages|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Templates using the classes class=navbox ({{navbox}}) or class=nomobile ({{sidebar}}) are not displayed in article space on the mobile web site of English Wikipedia. Mobile page views accounted for 60% to 70% of all page views from 2020 through 2025. Briefly, these templates are not included in articles because 1) they are not well designed for mobile, and 2) they significantly increase page sizes—bad for mobile downloads—in a way that is not useful for the mobile use case. You can review/watch phab:T124168 for further discussion.

Samoyedic languages at the beginning of the 20th century

Current geographic distribution of Samoyedic languages in Russia
Geographical distribution of Samoyedic languages in the 17th century (hatched) and in the 20th century (solid).

The Samoyedic (/ˌsæməˈjɛdɪk, -mɔɪ-/)[2] or Samoyed languages (/ˈsæməˌjɛd, -mɔɪ-/)[3][4] are spoken around the Ural Mountains, in northernmost Eurasia, by approximately 25,000 people altogether, accordingly called the Samoyedic peoples. 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,[5] they are not a diverse group of languages, and are traditionally considered to be an outgroup, branching off first from the other Uralic languages.

Etymology

The term Samoyedic is derived from the Russian term samoyed (Russian: самоед) originally applied only to the Nenets people and later extended to other related peoples.

One of the theories supposes that the term is interpreted by some ethnologists as originating somewhat derogatorily from Russian samo-yed, literally meaning "self-eater" (the word has been interpreted by foreign travelers as an allegation of cannibalism).[6][7]

Another suggestion for the term's origin is a corruption of the expression saam-edne, meaning "Land of the Saams".[8]

The word Samodeic[9] has been proposed as an alternative by some ethnologists.[6]

In modern Russian the words самодийцы/самодийские (samodiytsy/samodiyskie), i.e., "samodians"/"samodian" are used for this ethnic grouping and the corresponding area of research is called "samodistika", i.e., "samodistics".

The word "самоед/samoyed" also refers in Russian to an excessively introspective or self-disparaging person i.e., the one engaged in самоедство/"self-devouring".

Classification

Traditionally, Samoyedic languages and peoples have been divided into two major areal groups: Northern Samoyedic (Nenets, Yurats, Enets, Nganasans), and Southern Samoyedic (Selkups) with a further now-extinct subgroup of Sayan-Samoyedics (Kamasins, Mators) named after the Sayan Mountains. They are however purely geographical, and do not reflect linguistic relations.

Linguistic 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.[5]

  • Samoyedic
    • Nganasan (Tavgi or Tawgi-Samoyed)

      • Kamas-Selkup
        • Selkup
          • Northern Selkup
          • Southern Selkup
        • Kamassian (Sayan-Samoyed) †
    • Mator (Sayan-Samoyed) †
      • Mator
      • Taigi
      • Karagas
      • Soyot (Modern Soyots were subject to Turkification and do not speak the historical language)

Grammar

Samoyedic languages are primarily agglutinative. They have postpositions and suffixes and do not use articles or prefixes.[10][11] Samoyedic languages also have grammatical evidentiality.[10] Word order in Samoyedic languages is typically subject-object-verb (SOV).[12] Below are two sentences in Nenets that demonstrate SOV word order and case in Samoyedic languages:

Script error: No such module "Interlinear".

Script error: No such module "Interlinear".

Nouns

Nouns in Samoyedic languages do not have gender, but they are declined for number (singular, dual, and plural) as well as case.[11] All Samoyedic languages have at least seven noun cases which may include nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, locative, instrumental, lative, and/or prolative depending on the language.[11][12]

Verbs

Many Samoyedic languages have the following three conjugation types: subjective, objective (in which the number of the object is expressed in addition to that of the subject), and reflexive.[12] Verbs in Samoyedic languages have several moods, ranging from at least eight in Selkup to at least sixteen in Nenets. Other forms of verbs that can be found in Samoyedic languages are gerunds, participles, and infinitives. Of the Samoyedic languages, only Selkup has verbal aspect.[10]

Phonology

Sonorant-obstruent consonant clusters with two consonants, of which the latter consonant is more sonorous than the former, are the most frequently occurring consonant clusters in several Samoyedic languages. Conversely, consonant clusters ending in glides are not found in any Samoyedic languages.[13]

Unlike some other Uralic languages, Samoyedic languages do not have vowel harmony.[12]

Vowel epenthesis is frequently used in Samoyedic languages to break up consonant clusters, particularly in the case of loanwords borrowed from Russian.[13]

Vowel epenthesis from Russian to Nenets[13]

  • крупа (krupa) > xurupa "cereals"
  • класс (klass) > xalas "class"

Vowel epenthesis from Russian to Nganasan[13]

  • бригада (brigada) > birigadә "brigade"
  • метр (metr) > metәrә "meter"

Vowel epenthesis from Russian to Selkup[13]

  • стекло (stʲeklo) > tʲekɨla "glass"
  • стол (stol) > istol "table"

Contact with Russian language

Samoyedic languages have experienced significant language contact with Russian to such an extent that members of the Nenets, Selkup, Nganasan, and Enets ethnic groups now often have Russian as a first language, with speakers of Samoyedic languages primarily belonging to elder age groups.[13]

Russian loanwords in Samoyedic languages include: колхоз ("collective farm"), машина ("car"), молоко ("milk"), Москва ("Moscow").[13]

Geographical distribution

At present, Samoyed territory extends from the White Sea to the Laptev Sea, along the Arctic shores of European Russia, including southern Novaya Zemlya, the Yamal Peninsula, the mouths of the Ob and the Yenisei, and into the Taimyr peninsula in northernmost Siberia.[10] They are contiguous with the trans-Ural Ugric speakers and the cis-Ural Komi to the south, but they are cut off from the Baltic Finns by the Russians in the west. To the east traditionally dwell the northern Turkic Sakha. A substantial Samoyed city grew up at Mangazeya in the 16th century as a trade city, but was destroyed at the beginning of the 17th century.

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.[14]
