Dynamic Diachronic Modell of the Parts-of-Speech System of Nganasan (Typological, Areal and Genetic Background of Nganasan Adjectives)
Samoyedic is classified as one of the two main branches of the Uralic language family. Four Samoyedic languages are spoken today: Nenets, Enets, Nganasan, and Selkup. The number of Nganasan native speakers is 500. They live on the Taimir Peninsula from the lower Yenisei in the west to the Khatanga B...
