Talk:Yeniseian languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone here speak Ket?

I wish! Actually there's not a lot of information available in or about Ket. Hopefully that will change. Maybe one day there'll be a Ket wikipedia... :) Chamdarae 02:20, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Big article about Yenisean languages (in Russian): http://www.philology.ru/linguistics4/verner-97.htm

good article, worth a link from the main page, I think.

[edit] Ket-Na-Dene note

This is just a note that User:85.0.13.153 made an edit to this page about genetic evidence for Ket-Na-Dene link that is entirely wrong. The edit claims the article supports such a genetic or linguistic link, whereas the article states:

These results suggest that the Na-Dene and Yeniseian populations are both genetically and linguistically unrelated, and the 36 cognates used by Ruhlen (1998) are insufficient evidence for a common recent origin of these two language families.

I think this was made in bad faith (as well as in bad English) and may be something to watch in the future. I'm also suspicious of the amount of stuff here related to Edward Vajda, but seeing as it has been added by various unrelated wikipedians of good standing, I let most of it be.
