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.
[1] 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,[2] and the language was virtually extinct.
The 2002 census recorded 19 ethnic Yugh in all of Russia.
