Talk:Siberian languages

Potential
Is "disambiguation with possibilities" a thing? This article could likely be expanded to a more general overview of the pre-Russian linguistic groups of the Siberia and their common history (along the lines of Native American languages). -- Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 15:58, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

 * The 'Paleosiperian' concept attempts to capture a much earlier point in history. It explicitly excludes plenty of languages that are unquestionably indigenous to the region such as Samoyedic, Siberian Turkic, Tungusic (even if they may have developed from proto-languages that arrived in the region "only" some 2000-4000 years ago). The ethnolinguistic history of the region in recent millennia would have to accommodate these groups as well.
 * 'Paleosiberian' allegedly would be the languages spoken in Siberia before the introduction of languages of the "Ural-Altaic typology". Though there is no uniquely defined "Ural-Altaic" typology. E.g. Fortescue has argued instead for distinguishing a "Uralo-Siberian typology; Stefan Georg and Gregory Anderson have similarly argued for typological features common to larger units of Siberian languages yet. These also seem like topics that might be well discussed in a single place. -- Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 16:00, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Siberian conlang
A few years ago, i.i.r.c., there was a fairly well developed Siberian Wikipedia, written in what seems to be a Slavic conlang or maybe just a relexification of Russian. It was later shut down — was it a LARP prank, a hoax with political motivation…? Is it noteworthy? (See also this.) Tuvalkin (talk) 11:06, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
