Comments:

Nganasan is spoken in Taymyr eninsula, Siberia,
USSR. Northenmost people ini th eUSSR near Yakut, Dolgan
and Evenki people.
Tereshchenko (1979) notes a large number of
diphthongs. At least some of these result from joining
stem vowel and suffix vowel together. For this reason
they have been treated here as sequences.
