Thank you @snailspng for introducing me to Permian bronze casts through the Nausicaa inspired pngs

Crossposting from Twxttxr: some interesting news about ongoing research by colleagues, from a workshop "Diversification of Uralic" just this Thursday and Friday

Do the Permic languages have loanwords from Old Norse? e.g. ONo. ár ~ Komi & Udmurt ar 'year'. This would've been sensible during the brief time when Norsemen originally from Sweden were in charge of trade along the Volga and settling in inner Russia, forming the Rus' (later Slavicized, but as we know from Byzantine sources they remained Norse for centuries) — and also the Norwegians too were known to conduct exploration + trade along the Barents Sea at the time, our oldest written reports of "Bjarmia" come from them after all.

Do the Finnic languages have loanwords already from Pre-Proto-Germanic into Pre-Proto-Finnic? My first reply would've been "yes surely", this has been discussed for half a century and there's dozens of etymologies out by now. Turns out though that there's still a lot of room for skepticism if we try to assemble a big picture. Most of these could be (and have been proposed by other analyses) to be proper Germanic after all, or from some non-Germanic kind of Indo-European, or even incorrect. There is unambiguous evidence I think at least of loans lacking *�� > *ō, but that's already though to be one of the latest common Germanic innovations, perhaps barely post-PG. [Follow-up question: do we even know where Pre-Proto-Germanic was spoken? might not have been anywhere convenient for contacts with Pre-Proto-Finnic.] — A few similar problems also in the less discussed supposed layer of Proto-Balto-Slavic or pre-BSl. loans, but by areal considerations it seems obvious to me there must've been Uralic/IE contact somewhere in the Russian forest belt for ages already, even if it might not have left enough evidence to clearly distinguish from things like pre-Indo-Iranian loans.

Do the Samic languages have loanwords that are not from any historically attested branch of Scandinavian, but some sort of a lost variety entirely? This could be an explanation for an unexpected sound correspondence *j → *ć in many loans; it might also explain some loans that look surprizingly archaic, e.g. lacking any reflection of Siever's Law. One example showing both is indeed *Tāńćə 'Norse', from some sort of a *Danji- variant of Proto-Germanic *Daniz.

Several new hypotheses on the history of of sibilants in Ugric, adding to the growing tally of evidence that traditionally reconstructed *s > *θ and *ś > *s "in Proto-Ugric" are actually later developments. A paper supposed to be coming out soon!

No linguistic evidence so far, but a 1670 travelogue by de La Martinière appears to still report seemingly pre-Uralic populations along the Barents Sea coast — and even on Novaya Zemlya, traditionally thought to have been uninhabited (as reported by other early modern explorers) before some Tundra Nenets briefly settled there in mid 19th century. Apparently there's been no real archeological investigation, but also at least two stone labyrinths are known as signs that humans still must've at least visited there sometime in the past. [By current knowledge, labyrinths from Sweden and Finland have mostly been built in late medieval and early modern times though, so they don't suggest especial antiquity either. Could the ones on NZ in fact have been left behind by some of these historical Northwest European expeditions?]

Various discussion also on the development of Samoyedic. Nothing particularly all-new (maybe on Nganasan, more on that in a PhD thesis to appear later this year though), but a few main results include 1. clear recognition that there is no "North Samoyedic" group (as has been suspected for several years now), 2. confirmation that there is regardless a narrower Nenets–Enets group, and 3. some development of a model where all three of Nenets, Enets and Nganasan may have moved to the tundra zone independently from further down south (as is certainly the case for Northern Selkup, the most recent northern expansion of Samoyedic speakers).

[gramarye]

this is some lame ass linguistics major shit but considering how much i've had hammered in that language shapes your worldview (and i agree) i think why i've always felt personally Weird about english pronouns (and any gendered pronoun language but english particularly because obviously that's what I've had to use the most) is because both my native languages have gender neutral pronouns and i hate the thought of having to Pick One and have that define me, it doesn't feel natural (to me! in specific relation to me as a person!)

and i think when i was younger, like a teen, i was just frustrated with the idea of gendered pronouns in general, now i definitely understand why they're important for a lot of people and just like. the difference in culture and how you can't just Do Away With Them especially if you live in a place where gendered language is the norm and why it's important for identity to have people address you in a certain way. and in general you should just always respect peoples wishes Obviously

but i think that's why i genuinely feel like i just wanna be an Any Pronouns kinda person i think my brain just genuinely doesn't comprehend myself like that and i really don't care about it. like which one you use for me doesn't really matter because it is just A Pronoun to me because there is just one in both my native languages and so i don't really think myself of like that. does this make sense. like i really don't care if you use exclusively she/her or he/him or they/them or change them or literally whatever. its cool

[aroundtheworldinstamps]

I know this might not look too flashy, but this might be my favourite stamp sheet. These Estonian stamps are a language tree of the Uralic languages.

Going anti-clockwise from the bottom middle stamp, we have:

The Samoyedic Languages: Nenets, Enets, Nganasan, Selkup, and Kamasin

The Ugric Languages: Hungarian, Khanty and Mansi

The Permic Languages: Komi and Udmurt

The Mari and Mordvinic (Erzya and Moksha) Languages

The Sami Languages (Nortern, Southern, Skolt, Inari, Lule, Ume, Pite, Ter and Kildin Sami)

The Baltic-Finnic Languages: Veps, Karelian, Izhorian, Livonian, Finnish, Estonian and Votic

Languages in brackets weren't mentioned in the stamp, but I thought I'd elaborate anyway

Edit: put Ingrian instead of Izhorian. Should've known better, sorry

Miscellaneous Hungarian archaeological items from the migration era, from the Urals to the Carpathians 9th-10th C. CE. Sources can be found on my blog, link at bottom.

The Magyars, as a nation, seem to have originated in the region of the Urals and Volga and their original territory covered a large amount of what is European Russia today. This region was known as Magna Hungaria or Ancient Hungary in the Middle Ages. In the 13th century Christian monks tried unsuccessfully to convert the Pagan inhabitants of Ancient Hungary, who they noted spoke the same language as the Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin (will post more on this later). Now genetics show they were related too. Some of the Hungarians in the Carpathian region were found to be direct family members of these Uralic-based Hungarians according to this genetic study below. I grabbed some highlights of genetics article here and included some archaeological image finds:

"Two recent articles have investigated the Y-haplogroup variability of Hungarian conquerors describing the conqueror’s elite population as heterogenous, with significant proportion of European, Finno-Permic, Caucasian and Siberian (or East Eurasian) paternal lineages. Fóthi et al. have claimed that the Hungarian conquerors originated from three distant sources: Inner Asia (Lake Baikal – Altai Mountains), Western Siberia – Southern Urals (Finno-Ugric peoples) and the Black Sea – Northern Caucasus (Northern Caucasian Turks, Alans, and Eastern Europeans). Both studies pointed out the presence of the Y-haplogroup N-Z1936 (also known as N3a4-Z1936 under N-Tat/M46), which is frequent among Finno-Ugric speaking peoples.

...The genetic connection of Uyelgi cemetery in the Trans-Ural and 10th century Hungarian conquerors in the Carpathian Basin is supposed by close maternal relationships of the following individuals: Uyelgi3 from Kurgan 28 of the youngest horizon and three Hungarian conquerors from Karos II cemetery have identical U4d2 mitogenome haplotype (Supplementary Fig. S4p). Furthermore, the mtDNA A12a lineage of Hconq3 (30-40 years old woman from Harta cemetery dated to the first half of 10th century AD) is an ancestor of the mtDNA lineage of Uyelgi7 (from Kurgan 30 of the youngest horizon of the cemetery) based on the A12a haplogroup tree (see Supplementary Fig. S4a).

The mentioned graves from Uylegi show the characteristic of the Srostki culture, where the gilt silver mounts with plant ornaments were typical, and which was disseminated from the Siberian Minusinsk Depression and the Altai region through the Baraba Steppe and North-Kazakhstan to the Trans-Ural region (Fig. 1).

The connection of Uyelgi cemetery and Hungarian conquerors is visible on the N1a1a1a1a branch of the tree of haplogroup N1a1 too, that was prevalent among the ancient Hungarians (Fig. 5). Here seven Hungarian conqueror samples from cemeteries Kenézlő-Fazekaszug, Orosháza-Görbicstanya and Karos-Eperjesszög clustered together on one branch, while the five Uyelgi samples from the earliest and latest horizons are located together next to this branch.

Majority of Uyelgi males belonged to Y chromosome haplogroup N, and according to combined STR, SNP and Network analyses they belong to the same subclade within N-M46 (also known as N-tat and N1a1-M46 in ISOGG 14.255). N-M46 nowadays is a geographically widely distributed paternal lineage from East of Siberia to Scandinavia. One of its subclades is N-Z1936 (also known as N3a4 and N1a1a1a1a2 in ISOGG 14.255), which is prominent among Uralic speaking populations, probably originated from the Ural region as well and mainly distributed from the West of Ural Mountains to Scandinavia (Finland). Seven samples of Uyelgi site most probably belong to N-Y24365 (also known as N-B545 and N1a1a1a1a2a1c2 in ISOGG 14.255) under N-Z1936, a specific subclade that can be found almost exclusively in todays’ Tatarstan, Bashkortostan and Hungary (ISOGG, Yfull)."

Cyclamen? more like cyclawomen🤭🤷‍♀️

Pictures taken on July 18th So i have a job that involves a lot of labor. So while I was doing a task, that was when I saw her.

And when I first saw this plant, i thought to myself: It looked like someone threw her away and didn’t wanna take care of her anymore And that was when I wanted it. I didn’t want this plant to die thinking someone gave up on it.

My issue with this plant as I took her home is that she is a winter plant! SOOOOO i took her home and did some trimming, watering, and keeping her in a dark/somewhat light and chilled area (which is my windowless bathroom pushing a lot of air conditioning lol)

For a couple of days I was scared that I wasn't providing her enough. She was drying out quickly because of the temperature being super high around where I live. BUTTTT i would totally forget that I need to water her way more than I should so I decided to add permice on top! They are great stones for her soil so just in case she needs to fall back on water absorption, the pumice got herrrrrr back

And honestly.... SHE IS DOING AMAZING!!! I cannot wait to do kore updates on her. But for now, this is how she's doing....

Finnish: jumala

From Proto-Finnic jumala, from Proto-Finno-Permic juma (sky, god), probably borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian dyumā, or earlier Indo-European.

󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 “God” in different European languages.

by lingue.maps

[possessivesuffix]

I read somewhere (forgot where) that proto uralic may be constructed with having a base 6 number system. Is this bullshit or something to take seriously?

Basically bullshit. There's zero evidence whatsoever for 6 as a base, i.e. for expressions to the effect of 6+1, 6+1, 6×2, 6×3, 6×6… The actually published hypotheses that I'm aware of only makes any argument for a limited number system with unique terms ending at 6, supposedly with no firm evidence for how anything larger would have been expressed. The broken telephone transmission from here to various random lists of trivia is kinda like claiming that English "has a base 12 system" just because eleven and twelve are their own not-morphologically-analyzable lexemes (and ignoring that already thirteen is then 3+10 and not 1+12).

We have good odds for actually reconstructing the number 10, too, in Proto-Uralic (*luka); but it is apparently in some morphological relationship with 'to count' (*lukə-), so leaves open some room for independent parallel developments. There's even a candidate for 20, but it comes in a few variants (ca. #komćV ~ #koćV) and is proposed to be derived from 'man' (*kojə ~ *koj-ma) (i.e. '20 fingers and toes'?).

It is a stronger argument still, I think, for base 10 already in PU that 8 and 9 are very widely in Uralic derived from 2 and 1, i.e. as something like "two short [of base]", "one short [of base]". As the constructions in question tend to be kinda opaque, I suppose someone could try to plead that 8 originally meant instead 6+2 and was reanalyzed as 10-2 afterwards, and then inspired a new formation for 9… but at minimum I'd want some evidence for the actual appearence of the term for 6 in there too then, which is not at all the case. (One long-standing hypothesis of derivation is instead that a handful of them, like Finnish kahdeksan, contain the PIE root for 10.)

Some additional arguments exist for a special status of 60, based on Permic and Mansi, but this still implies 10 as the primary base and there's again no evidence whatsoever even for "secondary-base" expressions like 60+10 or 60×2.

— Kind of besides all this is that I think I have some very tentative reasons to suspect an earlier, maybe pre-Proto-Uralic, base 4 system instead (e.g. Proto-Ugric *ńëla '8' has already been noted to kind of look similar to *neljä '4').

Eurasian Settings

Sami/Samoyedic (Arctic Circle Uralic)

Mari/Mordvin/Permic/Mansi/Khanty (Taiga/Steppe Uralic)

Yeniseian

[possessivesuffix]

To add a bit more: there are reasons to think there have been at least two substrate languages that left a trace in Sami! A 2012 paper from Ante Aikio calls them "Paleo-Lakelandic", a more southern substrate that forms a common heritage in all Sami languages; versus "Paleo-Laplandic", a more northern substrate or substrate family that has left individual effects in each separate Sami language.

(For what it's worth, there might be hints of Paleo-Lakelandic or at least some language in that area being some early branch of or distantly related to Uralic — I've talked about this in a paper just this summer and a few other people have had suggestions to this effect too. It's still very scanty data though and is going to be hard to tell for sure, could be easily also e.g. old Uralic loanwords into an unrelated substrate language.)

OP's map could be likely extended also with some other languages that are not really pre-Indo-European as much as pre-Uralic, such as the "Agricultural Substrate" leaving traces in the more southwestern Uralic groups (Finnic, Mordvinic, Mari, Permic). "Europe" does include also Russia west of the Urals, contrary to what business-of-the-day cartography often may imply!

Interestingly also, the last-mentioned substrate probably was still passed thru the Corded Ware culture that once extended over the same area, which likely was some lost variety of Indo-European… something like a third branch of Balto-Slavic or a dialect intermediate to B–S and Indo-Iranian. So likely originally a "pre-Indo-European" substrate after all, even if it then comes to our attention as pre-Uralic.

Paleo-European languages

Before the Celtic and Germanic languages, before Latin and Greek, before any Indo-European languages whatsoever, Europe was populated by speakers of dozens if not hundreds of languages, most of which left little or no trace. These are called Paleo-European languages.

The only known surviving Paleo-European language is Basque, but we have ancient written inscriptions from a number of others, such as Aquitanian, Etruscan, Iberian, Minoan, and Tartessian.

Roman writing with ancient Basque names, found in Lerga, Navarre.

There are also traces of other lost Paleo-European languages in many place names and borrowings from those languages into the Indo-European languages that came later. Moreover, the Paleo-European languages influenced the grammar and pronunciation of the Indo-European languages, sometimes creating a new branch of Indo-European entirely.

When a language influences the language that replaces it like this, it is called a substrate language. It is hypothesized that the development of the Germanic languages was caused by such a substrate, which gave the Germanic languages about a quarter of their vocabulary.

More broadly, any language that was displaced or existed in Prehistoric Europe, Asia Minor, Ancient Iran, and Southern Asia before the arrival of the Indo-Europeans is called a Pre-Indo-European language. More of these are attested or recognized as substrates than for Paleo-European, but little is known about them overall.

Known Pre-Indo-European languages
