Lower Chulym is a Turkic dialect formerly spoken by the Chulyms on the lower course of the Chulym river and its tributaries, the Kiya and the Yaya, in Russia. It went extinct in 2011.

Research

[edit]

When the Russian researcher Dulzon began to study Lower Chulym in the 1940s, the Lower Chulym Turks numbered no more than 250. In the 1990s, their Russification was nearly complete. The language is today, with no doubt, extinct.[2]

Classification

[edit]

Lower Chulym is classified in the Siberian group of Turkic languages. Russian linguists consider it to be a dialect of tchoulym, together with tchoulym moyen. However, this question is still open.

A third Turkic variety, Küärik, is spoken in the Chulym basin, north of Mariinsk. It is known from the work of [Vasily Radlov|Radloff]], which come from around 1900. This dialect, which had disappeared by the time of Dulzon in 1940, was considered by Radloff to be identical to Lower Chulym.[3]
