Yurats (Yurak) was a Samoyedic language spoken in the Siberian tundra west of the Yenisei River.
It became extinct in the early 19th century, due to the expansion of the Nenets people.
[1] Yurats was probably either a transitional variety connecting the Nenets and Enets languages of the Samoyedic family, or an archaic dialect of Enets.
[5] Nevertheless, Glottolog considers it to be a dialect of Tundra Nenets, as is the traditional assumption.
