Enets language
Encyclopedia : E : EN : ENE : Enets language
Enets is a Samoyedic language spoken by the Enets people along the lower Yenisei River in Taymyria in northern Russia. There are two distinct dialects - Forest Enets and Tundra Enets - which may be considered separate languages. There are only about 70 speakers in total, with slightly more speaking Forest Enets. Most speakers are middle-aged or older, and all speak Russian as a second language. It is closely related to Nenets, which it was formerly regarded as a dialect of, and to Nganasan.
