About

[edit]

Northern Mansi is a Uralic language, one of the three languages in the Mansi branch of the Ob-Ugric family. It encompasses 4 dialects:

  • Upper Lozva [FL/LO]
  • Northern (Severnaya) Sosva (can be considered the literary language of the Mansi people) [Szo/So]
  • Sygva [Szi/Sy]
  • Ob [Obsk.]

Orthography

[edit]

It uses the Cyrillic script, almost identical to the Russian. Some of the differences include:

  • Long and short variants of vowels, depicted with a macron: а̄, е̄, э̄, о̄, ӯ, ӣ, ы̄, ё̄, ю̄, я̄,
  • Includes the letter; ӈ

Pronunciation

[edit]

Inflection

[edit]

Inflection tables have two variants depending on what is the last letter of the base word. This rule excludes Category:Northern Mansi verb inflection-table templates, which is not fully implemented yet.

Etymology

[edit]

If the word has Uralic roots, {{R:Uralonet|}} should be used as a reference.

Entries

[edit]

If you wish to add new dialects to the already existing list, you can extend this module: Module:labels/data/lang/mns-nor

If applicable, all entries should include other dialects from the Northern language, as alternate forms:

 ===Alternative forms===
 *{{alter|mns-nor|||Sosva Mansi|tr=TERM}}
 *{{alter|mns-nor|||Upper Lozva Mansi|tr=TERM}}
 *{{alter|mns-nor|||Sygva Mansi|tr=TERM}}
 *{{alter|mns-nor|||Ob Mansi|tr=TERM}}

All entries must have a label beside the header, to indicate which dialect is from:

===Noun===
{{head|mns-nor|noun}} {{tlb|mns-nor|Lozva/Sygva/Sosva...ect}}

# translation

For Northern Mansi adjective entries; {{mns-nor-adj}} should be used as an entry header.
