The term "Samoyedic" refers to a branch of the Uralic language family, primarily spoken by the indigenous peoples of northern Siberia. This group includes languages such as Nenets, Enets, Nganasan, and Selkup. These languages are characterized by their unique phonetic and grammatical features, which distinguish them from other Uralic languages like Finnish and Hungarian. Samoyedic languages are traditionally associated with the Samoyedic peoples, who have a rich cultural heritage linked to reindeer herding and fishing. The languages are considered endangered due to the declining number of speakers and the influence of dominant languages in the region. Efforts are being made to preserve and revitalize these languages through education and cultural initiatives.
