Add article description

Southern (Tavda) Mansi was a Uralic language spoken in Russia in the Sverdlovsk. It was recorded from an area isolated from the other Mansi varieties along the river Tavda.[4] Around 1900 a couple hundred speakers existed; in the 1960s it was spoken only by a few elderly speakers,[5] and it has since then become extinct. It had strong Tatar lexical influence[citation needed] and displayed several archaisms such as vowel harmony, retention of /y/ (elsewhere merged with */æ/), /tsʲ/ (elsewhere deaffricated to /sʲ/), /æː/ (elsewhere fronted to /aː/ or diphthongized) and /ɑː/ (elsewhere raised to /oː/).[citation needed]
