Current geographic distribution of Samoyedic languages in Russia

The Samoyedic (/ˌsæməˈjɛdɪk, -mɔɪ-/)[1] or Samoyed languages (/ˈsæməˌjɛd, -mɔɪ-/)[2][3] are spoken around the Ural Mountains, in northernmost Eurasia, by approximately 25,000 people altogether. They derive from a common ancestral language called Proto-Samoyedic, and form a branch of the Uralic languages. Having separated perhaps in the last centuries BC,[4] they are not a diverse group of languages, and are traditionally considered to be an outgroup, branching off first from the other Uralic languages.
