Yurats language

Extinct Samoyedic 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. Yurats was probably either a transitional variety connecting the Nenets and Enets languages of the Samoyedic family, or an archaic dialect of Enets.[1] The uncertainty regarding the language's status is due to the scarcity of information about the language.[2]
