Other comments: Tundra Enets has a decimal numeral system. Enets is a highly endangered language spoken in the Tajmyr peninsula, Russia. There are two dialects of Enets and the two dialects are mutually intelligible, but have a number of clear distinctions in lexicon, phonology, and morphology. Members of the two language communities see themselves as belonging to two separate ethnic groups. Forest Enets has approximately 10 speakers in the village of Potapovo, approximately 10 speakers in the town of Dudinka, and some isolated speakers in other settlements of the Tajmyr. Tundra Enets has approximately 5 speakers in the village of Vorontsovo, some 10 speakers living as nomads together with speakers of Tundra Nenets in the Tukhard tundra, and some isolated speakers in other settlements of the Tajmyr. There used to be some Tundra Enets in the Avam tundra (villages of Ust-Avam and Volochanka), but the last active speakers passed away by the end of the last century. Neither of the two dialects is used on an everyday basis nowadays. All Enets speakers today are over 50 years old and bilingual in Russian, or trilingual in Russian and Tundra Nenets. |
