Samoyedic languages
The Samoyedic languages ( or ) are spoken on both sides of the Ural mountains, in northernmost Eurasia, by approximately 30,000 people altogether. They derive from a common ancestral language called Proto-Samoyedic, and form a branch of the Uralic languages. Having separated perhaps in the last centuries BC, they are not a diverse group of languages, and are traditionally considered to be an outgroup, branching off first from the other Uralic languages.
==Etymology==
The term ''Samoyedic'' is derived from the Russian term ''samoyed'' ((ロシア語:самоед)) for some indigenous peoples of Siberia. The term has come to be considered derogatory because it has been interpreted by some ethnologists as originating from Russian ''samo-yed'' meaning 'self-eater', i.e. 'cannibal'.〔(''The Tenacity of Ethnicity'' by Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer ) ISBN 978-0-691-00673-4〕 Samoyedic etymologists, however, reject this etymology and instead trace the term's origin to the expression ''saam-edne'', meaning the Land of the Sami peoples.〔(Anthropology of the North By Arctic Institute of North America, Translations from Russian Sources )〕 The word ''Samodeic''〔(Samodeic @ google books )〕 has been proposed as an alternative by some ethnologists.〔
