Typology of Negation in Ob-Ugric
and Samoyedic Languages (NOS)

Selkup

The Selkup live widely spread between the rivers Ob and Yenissey. According to the 2002 census, there are 4249 Selkup people in Russia, with 1127 of them speaking Selkup.

Selkup dialects:

• Tas (Northern) dialects (Upper Tas, Middle Tas, Baicha-Turuhan, Karasino, Jelogui)
• Middle dialects (Tym, Narym, Vasjugan, Parabel)
• Southern dialects (Upper Ob, Middle Ob, Chaya, Chulym)
• Ket dialects (Middle Ket, Upper Ket (Nat-Pumpokolsk))

Annotated Texts

The following Selkup texts are readily annotated. We offer them both in html (for easy viewing in your browser) and in pdf format.

We use the Charis SIL font, which is downloadable for free. You will get the best results for the html files if you have that font installed on your computer, but other Unicode fonts (such as Gentium or Lucida Sans Unicode which can be found on most PCs and Macs) contain almost all characters needed and will do as well.
