Khakas

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the Khakas language, spoken in the Minusinsk Basin, Eastern Siberia, Russia. The number of Khakas speakers is about 40,000, and although Khakas is a state language of the Republic of Khakasia, it is endangered, especially its minor dialects. Documentation of Khakas began in the 19th century and has continued to the present day. The sample text recorded in 2015 is a dialogue between speakers of two main varieties of Khakas, the Kacha dialect and the Saghay dialect. Although the main speaker is of the older generation, there are many Russian borrowings in her speech. The paper gives an overview on the main phonetic and grammatical features of Khakas, with a particular focus on dialectal variations.
