Forest Nenets language
Samoyedic language / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forest Nenets is a Samoyedic language spoken in northern Russia, around the Agan, Pur, Lyamin and Nadym rivers, by the Nenets people.[4] It is closely related to the Tundra Nenets language, and the two are still sometimes seen as simply being dialects of a single Nenets language, despite there being low mutual intelligibility between the two.[quantify] The next closest relatives are Nganasan and Enets, after them Selkup, and even more distantly the other Uralic languages.
