The Swadesh List — 1. for Tyurkic, Paleo-Asiatic Ankalaku and Amerinidian Languages of Shoshone, Yakama, Nez Perce, Chumash, Choctaw, Mohawk and Purepecha Peoples БЭИП «Суюн»; Том.4, Октярь 2017, №8 [1,2]; ISSN:2410-1788 THE SWADESH LIST — 1. FOR TYURKIC, PALEO-ASIATIC ANKALAKU AND AMERINIDIAN LANGUAGES OF SHOSHONE, YAKAMA, NEZ PERCE, CHUMASH, CHOCTAW, MOHAWK AND PUREPECHA PEOPLES B. A. Muratov If you know well the Tyurkic languages, and especially the Chuvash language, then when you come to Kamchatka you can communicate with the representatives of the people of Kereks (Ankalaku) in Tyurkic language at the level of root basic words.

Author of photo: Thomas Krahn © 770 BEHP «Suyun»; Vol.4, October 2017, №8 [1,2]; ISSN:2410-1788 You will be understand the language of Ankalaku, and Kerek will understand your Tyurkic language — without an interpreter. If you go further to America and will talk with representatives of such Native American peoples as Shoshone, Yakama, Nez Perce, Chumash, Choctaw, Mohawk, Purepecha — you will also find in their language common words understandable to the Tyurks, especially if you know the Chuvash language and communicate with the Native Americans peoples — Chumash and Shoshone. Tyurkic languages are the key not only to understanding the many languages of Eurasia, from the Altai language family, but also the key to understanding the language of Ankalaku in Kamchatka and the languages of some of the Native American peoples. Scheme 1. The linguistic tree of the Siberian-Amerindian family (Proto-Tyurk, Ankalaku and part of the Indeans languages of America)1 The Paleo-Asiatic language of Ankalaku is also the Kerek dialect of the Koryak language — it has the greatest similarity with the Tyurkic and Amerindian languages. In the past the Kereks was a separate people — Ankalaku, which is now a small ethnic group2. According to the DNA-test of Kereks, they are the carriers of the subclade Q- L533. 771 БЭИП «Суюн»; Том.4, Октярь 2017, №8 [1,2]; ISSN:2410-1788 In the Chuvash, Tatars, Turkmens, Yakuts and Altaians there is also a haplogroup Q, in particular the Q-M25 subclade, which is one of the basic and ascending to the proto-Turkic ethnos4. At the Native American peoples of America, Q is also the main haplogroup5. The data of paleo-DNA of Karasuk culture and Xiongnu burials - one of the ancestors of the Tyürks indicate that among the Karasuks people 6 and the Xiongnu 7 the haplogroup Q was one of the main ones.

As this overview cannot hope to be exhaustive, the main goal is to sketch the different kinds of language contact situation known for this region. Within this larger scope of contact among the languages spoken in Siberia, a major focus will be on the influence exerted by Evenki, a Northern Tungusic language, on neighboring indigenous languages. The chapter is organized as follows: after a brief introduction to the languages and peoples of Siberia (section 1), the influence exerted on the indigenous languages by Russian, the dominant language in the Russian Federation, is described in section 2.

  • Koryak, Koryak, Chukotko-Kamchatkan (2)
    1. Description 1.1 Name of society, language, and language family: Koryak, koryak, Chukotko-Kamchatkan (2) 1.2 ISO code (3 letter code from ethnologue.com): Kpy 1.3 Location (latitude/longitude): The Koryak are probably indigenous inhabitants of the northeastern shores of the Sea of Okhotsk, whence they spread eastward. (3) 1.4 Brief history: the Koryak once occupied a much larger area of the Russian Far East. Their overlapping borders extended to the Nivkh areas in Khabarovsk Krai until the Evens arrived, and pushed them into their present region. A smallpox epidemic in 1769-1770 and warfare with Russian Cossacks reduced the Koryak population from 10-11,000 in 1700 to 4,800 in 1800. (1) Under the Soviet Union, a Koryak Autonomous Okrug was formed in 1931 and named for this people. Based on the local referendum in 2005, this was merged with Kamchatka Krai effective July 1, 2007. 1.5 Influence of missionaries/schools/governments/powerful neighbors: 1.6 Ecology: Koryak lands are mountains and volcanic, covered in mostly Arctic tundra. Coniferous trees lie near the southern regions along the coast of the Shelekhova Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk. The northern regions inland are much colder, where only various shrubs grow, but these are enough to sustain reindeer migration. The mean temperature in winter is –25 °C (-13 °F) while short summers are +12 °C (53 °F). The area they covered before Russian colonization was 301,500 km² (116,410 mi²), roughly corresponding to the Koryak Okrug (1) 1.7 Population size, mean village size, home range size, density numbering about 7,900 in the late 20th century (3) and 8,812 (2002 Census) (1), 2.

  • Indigenous People”
    Evolution of the Concept “Indigenous People” in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation: the Case Study of Vepses. by Anna Varfolomeeva Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Advisor: Professor Andras Pap CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract This thesis discusses the changes in the politics towards indigenous peoples in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation, and the implementation of indigenous rights in contemporary Russia. All the major changes in Soviet and Russian national politics influenced indigenous peoples, and although today the Russian Federation claims to follow international norms on indigenous rights protection, neither ILO Convention 169, nor the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples are ratified by the Russian state. The thesis shows that despite the attempts of international organizations to create unified standards of indigenous rights protection, the position of native population still to a large extend depends on the politics and priorities of a concrete state. The work includes the analysis of the indigenous rights of Vepses, a small Finno-Ugrian people residing in the North-West of Russia. The process of indigenous status recognition in the case of Vepses and the implementation of their indigenous rights are discussed. As the case study shows, the lack of coherence between federal and regional legislation in Russia, as well as vague formulations of legislative acts lead to the situation when federal provisions on indigenous people’s rights are not implemented by regional authorities. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis supervisor, Professor Andras Pap, for his guidance throughout the thesis writing process, and Professor Mária Kovács for the support at the early stages of this project.
