Paleo-Siberian languages

Common card · No. 280459

The Paleo-Siberian languages are four groups of language isolates and small language families spoken in parts of Siberia. They are not known to have any genetic relationship to each other; their only widely accepted link is that they are held to have antedated the more dominant languages, particularly Tungusic and latterly Turkic languages, that have largely displaced them. More recently, Turkic (at least in Siberia) and Tungusic have been displaced in their turn by Russian.
