Uralic-Yukaghir languages

Uralic-Yukaghir (or Uralo-Yukaghir) is a proposed language family composed of Uralic and Yukaghir.

Uralic is a large and diverse language family. Some of the languages it includes are Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian. Uralic is subdivided into two main branches, Finno-Ugric and Samoyedic.

Yukaghir is a small family of languages spoken in Siberia.

At the present time, the validity of the Uralic-Yukaghir family is controversial.
