Finno-Ugric (/ ˌ f ɪ n oʊ ˈ juː ɡ r ɪ k,-ˈ uː-/) [a] [1] is a traditional grouping of all languages in the Uralic language family except the Samoyedic languages.Its formerly commonly accepted status as a subfamily of Uralic is based on criteria formulated in the 19th century and is criticized by some contemporary linguists such as Tapani Salminen and Ante Aikio.
Finno-Ugric is sometimes used as a synonym for Uralic, [6] though Finno-Ugric is widely understood to exclude the Samoyedic languages. [7] Scholars who do not accept the traditional notion that Samoyedic split first from the rest of the Uralic family may treat the terms as synonymous.
The Ugric or Ugrian languages ( / ˈjuːɡrɪk, ˈuː -/ [ 1] or / ˈjuːɡriən, ˈuː -/ [ 2]) are a branch of the Uralic language family . Ugric includes three subgroups: Hungarian, Khanty, and Mansi. The latter two have traditionally been considered single languages, though their main dialects are sufficiently distinct that they may also be ...
Proto-Finno-Ugric. Proto-Uralic is the unattested reconstructed language ancestral to the modern Uralic language family. The reconstructed language is thought to have been originally spoken in a small area in about 7000–2000 BCE (estimates vary), and then expanded across northern Eurasia, gradually diverging into a dialect continuum and then ...
Uralic is a language family located in Northern Eurasia, in the countries of Finland, Estonia, Hungary (where Uralic languages are spoken by the majority of the population), in other countries Uralic languages are spoken by a minority of the population, these languages are spoken in far-northern Norway (in most of the Finnmark region and other regions of the far-north), in far-northern Sweden ...
The Southern Finnic languages consist of North and South Estonian (excluding the Coastal Estonian dialect group), Livonian and Votic (except the highly Ingrian-influenced Kukkuzi Votic). These languages are not closely related genetically, as noted above; it is a paraphyletic grouping, consisting of all Finnic languages except the Northern ...
Genetic studies on Sami. Genetic studies on Sami is the genetic research that have been carried out on the Sami people. The Sami languages belong to the Uralic languages family of Eurasia. Siberian origins are still visible in the Sámi, Finns and other populations of the Finno-Ugric language family. [ 2]
The unattested Merya language [17] is traditionally assumed to have been a member of the Volga-Finnic group. [ 14 ] [ 18 ] This view has been challenged: Eugene Helimski supposes that the Merya language was closer to the "northwest" group of Finno-Ugric ( Balto-Finnic and Sami ), [ 19 ] and Gábor Bereczki supposes that the Merya language was a ...
