The Yugh people (pronounced [ɟuk]; often written Yug) are a critically endangered Yeniseian people, an indigenous group who originally lived throughout central Siberia.
By the late 1980s the Yugh people, along with their language, had effectively disappeared as a separate ethnic group.
The Yugh people, along with their relatives the Ket and other extinct branches are referred to as Yeniseians by linguists and ethnographers.
[3] In 1991, the ethnic population consisted of 10 to 15 individuals in the Turukhansky District of the Krasnoyarsk Krai at the Vorogovo settlement.
[2] The 2002 Census recorded 19 ethnic Yugh in all of Russia.
