Forest Nenets language

Language

Forest Nenets (Neshan; endonym: нешаӈ вата, nešaŋ vata, Nenets pronunciation: [nʲeːʃ(ʲ)ɑŋ βːɑtɑ]) is a Samoyedic language spoken in northern Russia, around the Agan, Pur, Lyamin and Nadym rivers, by the Nenets people. 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.

Forest Nenets (Neshan; endonym: нешаӈ вата, nešaŋ vata, Nenets pronunciation: [nʲeːʃ(ʲ)ɑŋ βːɑtɑ]) is a Samoyedic language spoken in northern Russia, around the Agan, Pur, Lyamin and Nadym rivers, by the Nenets people. 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. The next closest relatives are Nganasan and Enets, after them Selkup, and even more distantly the other Uralic languages.
