In this detailed survey of Finnish, Hungarian, Lapp and the other Uralic Languages, Angela Marcantonio shows there is in fact no scientific evidence to support the belief that they form a genetic family. If this approach is accepted, this detailed analysis will have far-reaching consequences for other assumed language families.

The Uralic languages form a language family of around thirty languages spoken by about twenty million people. This book focuses on nineteen of the major Uralic languages from Estonian to Samoyedic and discusses their structure, history and development.

Rudi Paul Linder examines the the impact of nomadism on early Ottoman history and challenges the conclusions of Paul Wittek's Rise of the Ottoman Empire, which defined the approaches of more than two generatios of scholars. Nomads and Ottomans in Medieval Anatolia offers a revealing study of pastoral nomads inhabiting the Anatolian plateau, the ways they met their needs, their threat to settled society, and how that society controlled them in the high Middle Ages.

320 pages ; 24 cm. Selkup Mythology is the fourth volume of The Encyclopaedia of Uralic Mythologies, edited by Anna-Leena Siikala, Vladimir Napolskikh and Mihaly Hoppal, which offers a basis for the study of the roots and present nature of Finno-Ugric and Samoyed religions. The volume introduces readers to the mythic narratives, beliefs and religious traditions of the Selkups, an indigenous group speaking a Samoyed language. The tiny Selkup population consisting of less than 4000 persons lives in a vast area in the west of Siberia; their nearest linguistic relatives are other Samoyed-speaking peoples, the Nenets, Enets, and Nganasans, and the Ob'-Ugrians (Khanty and Mansi). The Southern and Northern Selkups differ both in their dialects and their customs, and lack a common literary language. The Selkups were one of the classical targets of ethnographic studies in Siberia by the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, though there are classical descriptions of Selkup shamanism, their mythic narratives and folklore has been a closed field for Western researchers. This book opens up the world-view and beliefs of the Selkups and thus presents the means to interpret their rituals and religious practices.

This syllabus was prepared as a two-semester (thirty-week) course containing fifty-four outlines covering major topics in Inner Asian history. Suggestions for further reading are provided, together with some practical advice concerning matters of possible interest to instructors.

The Encyclopaedia of Uralic Mythologies offers a basis for the study of the roots and present character of Finno-Ugrian and Samoyedic ethnic religions, mythologies and folklore. Mythology is understood here in the broad sense, including not only myths proper but also the field of ethnic religion, by including beliefs and connected rituals, magic practices and their specialists. The volumes offer information about the people in question and give reference lists for basic scientific works and archives. The central part of each volume is the dictionary of mythological terms for the tradition concerned. An index of mythical concepts is added to each volume. This book introduces the readers to the mythological traditions of the Mansi (Voguls) and aims to give an idea of their world-view created over the course of centuries. The Mansi belong, with the Khanty (Ostyaks) and Samoyeds, to the indigenous peoples of Northwest Siberia. The nearest linguistic relatives of the Ob-Ugrians (Mansi and Khanty) are Hungarians living in central Europe. The rich culture of the Mansi provides valuable materials for research on language and mythology. The introduction to Mansi Mythology contains two parts. The first part is devoted to a summary of Mansi history in the second millennium AD, to the description of the main traditional ways of life of the Mansi, and to the problem of the adaptation of the people to the circumstances of socio-economic change at the end of the twentieth century. The second part describes the essential points of the Mansi world-view and reveals the main principles of the construction of a mythological system. The mythological system is reflected in myths and epic poetry. To illuminate Mansi mythic poetry, the editors of The Encyclopedia of Uralic Mythologies have added a selection of Mansi poems to the end of the volume.
