Yurats language

Yurats (Yurak) was a Samoyedic language spoken in the Siberian tundra west of the Yenisei River. It became extinct in the early 19th century.[1] Yurats was probably either a transitional variety connecting the Nenets and Enets languages of the Samoyedic family, or an archaic dialect of Enets.[2] Some eastern dialects of Tundra Nenets may have a Yurats substrate, as the Yurats were likely absorbed by the Tundra Nenets.[3] The uncertainty regarding the language's status is due to the scarcity of information about the language.[4] Nevertheless, Glottolog considers it to be a dialect of Tundra Nenets.[5]
