Eastern Mansi is classified as Extinct according to The Uralic Languages (2023)[4] | |
Eastern or Konda Mansi is an extinct member of the Mansi languages, and was spoken in Russia in the Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug around the river Konda. It became extinct in 2018, when its last speaker Maksim Shivtorov (Максим Семенович Шивторов) died.[4] It has Khanty and Siberian Tatar influence. There is vowel harmony, and for */æː/ it has [œː], frequently diphthongized.
In Russian linguistics, the Konda dialect used to be called the "southern Mansi (Kondinsky) dialect" (Russian: южно-мансийский (кондинский) диалект[7]) or "eastern Mansi dialect group" (Russian: восточная группа диалектов).[8]
Alphabet
[edit]In the few instances that Eastern Mansi literature was printed and was from the native areas, it used an unchanged Russian-Cyrillic script like this:
The highlighted letters are found in loanwords, except нг which represents a single nasal consonant[1][better source needed] and г is substituted with the letter й in some dialects [citation needed]
