COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INTERVOCAL CONSONANTS IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE AVAM NGANASANS AND THE BAJ DIALECT OF THE ENETS LANGUAGE
This article deals with comparing the intervocalic consonants in two Samojedish languages: the Baj dialect of the Enets language and in the language of the Avam Nganasans; Accept these two languages there are more two Samojedish once – Selcup and Nenets. These four languages are widely used by the aborigines living in the north of Russia. But there is a danger of disappearing these languages (Enets, Nganasan, Selcup and Nenets), because the young generation speak these languages less and less. And that is why investigating these languages are necessary and urgent; peculiarities of the Enets and Nganasan languages are displayed in the system of phonetic and transcription. The studying issues of these languages and their forms (dialects, idioms) mentioned above as well as the degree of their genetic relevance are in the focus of the attention. The phonetic systems of the Avam Nganasans’ language and the Baj dialect of the Enets language are the subject to be analyzed, thereby giving us the proof of homogeneity of the focused Samoyedic languages.
Keywords: Samojedish languages, the language of the Avam Nganasans, the Baj dialect of the Enets language, phonetic system, transcriptional scheme, consonant system, intervocalic consonants
