Yugh (Yug) is a Yeniseian language, closely related to Ket, formerly spoken by the Yugh people, one of the southern groups along the Yenisei River in central Siberia.[1] In the past it was regarded as a dialect of the Ket language, which was considered to be a language isolate. By the early 1990s there were reported to be only two or three non-fluent speakers remaining, and the language is now virtually extinct.[2]
