Uralic and Yukaghir Compared (Uralic–Yukaghir hypothesis)

I am transferring my old videos to this channel, I made the original a year ago. I used to keep two channels but as this channel got larger, I have decided to remove videos from my old channel and upload them here.

Uralic–Yukaghir, also known as Uralo-Yukaghir, is a proposed language family composed of Uralic and Yukaghir.

Uralic is a large and diverse family of languages spoken in northern and eastern Europe and northwestern Siberia. Among the better-known Uralic languages are Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian.

Yukaghir is a small family of languages spoken in eastern Siberia. It formerly extended over a much wider area (Collinder 1965:30). It consists of two surviving languages, Tundra Yukaghir and Kolyma Yukaghir.

Proponents of the Uralo-Siberian language family include Uralo-Yukaghir as one of its two branches, alongside the Siberian languages (Nivkh, (formerly) Chukotko-Kamchatkan and Eskimo-Aleut).[1]

Wow… this is mind-blowing. It would be very weird if our languages weren’t related! (Also ”who” in proto-uralic could also have been ”ku” along with ”ki”)

[polishhussarmapping]

In Yukaghir "language" is "jylmye" and in Mari (Uralic) it's "jylmy". Coincidence?

Good example of languages diverging into separate families due to lack of contact and isolation + finno-ugrics being influenced by indo-europeand and turkic
