This is Volume 14 of 150 the Uralic and Altaic series covering the period of 1960 to 1990. This volume focuses on the Samoyed peoples and languages. Thousands of years ago the ancestors of both the present Finno-Ugrians and the Samoyeds lived together in their Uralic homeland. Linguistics has designated them and their language Uralic. Migration of the Samoyeds in the third or fourth millennium B.C. disrupted Uralic unity. Thus the Finno-Ugrians and the Samoyeds parted ways. However, the fact that the present-day Samoyed languages and the Finno-Ugric languages can be traced back to a common origin vouch for the importance of research into the Samoyed languages.
