Summary:The article is introduced by a survey and discussion of previous models of classification of the Samoyedic languages. The main part is devoted to a new model of classification, based on the application of so-called recalibrated glottochronology, including a fulldocumentation of wordlists with etymological remarks, statistics and sources.
