Eastern Mansi is classified as Critically Endangered by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger (2010) | |
Eastern Mansi was a Uralic language spoken in Russia in the Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug around the river Konda. It became extinct in 2018, when its last speaker Maksim Šivtorov (Максим Семенович Шивторов) passed away.[5] It has Khanty and Siberian Tatar influence. There is vowel harmony, and for */æː/ it has [œː], frequently diphthongized.
In Russian linguistics the Konda dialect used to be called the "southern Mansi (Kondinsky) dialect" (Russian: южно-мансийский (кондинский) диалект[6]) or "eastern Mansi dialect group" (Russian: восточная группа диалектов).[7]
Alphabet[edit]
In the few instances that Eastern Mansi literature was printed and was from the native areas, it used an unchanged Russian-Cyrillic script like this:
The highlighted letters are found in loanwords, except нг which is considered as a singular letter in the “Ворыяп хумый” (“Two Hunters”) by P. K. Cheymetov,[8] and г is substituted with the letter й in some dialects [citation needed]
