Finally there are four Samoyed chapters, one on Tundra Nenets by Lotta Jalava, one on Forest Enets and Tundra Enets by Florian Siegl, one on Nganasan by Sandor Szeverenyi and Beata Wagner-Nagy, and one on
Selkup and Kamas by Beata Wagner-Nagy (with the Kamas data contributed by Gerson Klumpp).

Until 3,000 years ago, the Proto-Samoyed, the ancestors of the Enets, the Nenets, the Nganasan, and the
Selkup (and also the Kamasians, Koybal, and Mator, Altaic peoples that conserved their languages, closely related to
Selkup until the 19th century) were neighbors of the Ugrians of the Ob.
Kazakh, Uzbek, Turkmen, Mansi, Hanty,
Selkup, and other languages were measured on the basis of functioning of certain consonantal groups in a large sample.
Eastern Khanty, Southern
Selkup, Ket, Teleut, Nganasan) have also been thoroughly described (https://ling.tspu.edu.ru/en/archive.html?year=2015&issue=4; https://ling.tspu.edu.ru/en/archive.html?year=2016&issue=4; Vorobjova, Novitskaja, Girfanova, Vesnin 2017).
To the oldest layer of inherited stems belong stems that have cognates in one or several Samoyed languages: Nenets (Tundra or Forest Nenets), Enets, Nganasan,
Selkup, or already vanished Kamass and Mator and which are not loans from Indo-European.
The paper deals with the adnominal possessive constructions in Southern
Selkup. The
Selkup language is the sole living representative of the Southern Samoyedic group of the Uralic family.
In prior and contemporary research, the predicative conjugation in Nganasan has been classified as occupying an intermediate position between
Selkup and the other Northern Samoyedic languages ([TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] 1973 : 161;Wagner-Nagy 2011 : chapter 8) and from a pan-Samoyedic position, this assumption is sound.
Within this large expanse, three separate areas can be identified where grammaticalized evidentiality can be found in verb forms: the Baltic region (Estonian, Livonian), the Volga-Kama region (Komi, Udmurt, Mari), and northwestern Siberia (Northern Khanty and Mansi, Nenets, Enets,
Selkup).
