Yugh (/ˈjuːɡ/ YOOG; 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.[3] It was once regarded as a dialect of the Ket language, which was considered to be a language isolate, and was therefore called Sym Ket or Southern Ket; however, the Ket considered it to be a distinct language. By the early 1990s there were only two or three nonfluent speakers remaining,[4] and the language was virtually extinct. The 2002 Census recorded 19 ethnic Yugh in all of Russia.[5] In the 2010 census, only one ethnic Yugh was counted, also stating their proficiency in Yugh,[6] while in the 2020 census, 7 ethnic Yugh were counted,[7] 2 of them stating that they were speakers of Yugh.[2]
