Eastern Mansi is a recently extinct Uralic language spoken in Russia in the Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug around the river Konda. It became extinct in 2018, when its last speaker Maksim Šivtorov (Максим Семенович Шивторов) passed away.[5] It has Khanty and Siberian Tatar influence. There is vowel harmony, and for */æː/ it has [œː], frequently diphthongized.
In Russian linguistics the Konda dialect used to be called the "southern Mansi (Kondinsky) dialect" (Russian: южно-мансийский (кондинский) диалект[6]) or "eastern Mansi dialect group" (Russian: восточная группа диалектов).[7]
Alphabet
In the few instances that Eastern Mansi literature was printed and was from the native areas, it used an unchanged Russian-Cyrillic script like this:
The highlighted letters are found in loanwords, except нг which is considered as a singular letter in the “Ворыяп хумый” (“Two Hunters”) by P. K. Cheymetov,[8] and г is substituted with the letter й in some dialects [citation needed]
