Nganasan is a language of considerable interest for both Uralic studies and general linguistic typology. Spoken on Taimyr Peninsula in Arctic Siberia, it is not only the easternmost surviving Uralic language, but also the northernmost language of Eurasia, and even globally second only to some varieties of Inuit. Conventionally classified as a member of the “northern” group of Samoyedic, it is more correctly understood as representing the first offshoot of Proto-Samoyedic, which started moving northward along the Yenisei some two millennia ago and reached Taimyr at least several centuries ago. Nganasan retains some archaic lexical and grammatical features replaced by secondary innovations shared by all the other Samoyedic languages. At the same time, due to its geographical location it probably includes a substantial amount of relatively recent substrate material from the subsequently lost languages spoken previously on Taimyr.

Nganasan-重新关注一种鲜为人知的北极语言

Nganasan是乌拉尔语研究和一般语言类型学都相当感兴趣的一种语言。它是在北极西伯利亚的泰米尔半岛上说的，它不仅是幸存的乌拉尔语最东部的语言，还是欧亚大陆最北端的语言，甚至在全球范围内仅次于某些因纽特人。按照惯例，它被归类为萨摩耶迪奇“北部”群体的成员，人们更正确地理解它代表着原始萨摩耶迪奇的第一个分支，它在两千年前开始沿叶尼塞向北移动，并至少在几个世纪前到达泰米尔。Nganasan保留了一些古老的词汇和语法特征，而其他所有萨摩耶德语种所拥有的次要创新则取代了Nganasan。与此同时，
