Northern Mansi has strong Russian, Komi, Nenets, and Northern Khanty influence, and it's the literary Mansi language. There is no accusative case; that is, both the nominative and accusative roles are unmarked on the noun. */æ/ and */æː/ have been backed to [a] and [aː].

This article is focusing on the Severnaya Sosva dialect of Northern Mansi as that is considered the literary language.

Alphabet edit

The highlighted letters, and Г with the value /ɡ/, are used only in names and loanwords. The allophones /ɕ/ and /sʲ/ are written with the letter Щ or the digraph СЬ respectively.

The inventory presented here is a maximal collection of segments found across the Mansi varieties. Some remarks:

  1. /ɕ/ is an allophone of /sʲ/.[3]
  2. The voiceless velar fricatives /x/, /xʷ/ are only found in the Northern group and the Lower Konda dialect of the Eastern group, resulting from spirantization of *k, *kʷ adjacent to original back vowels.
  3. According to Honti, a contrast between *w and *ɣʷ can be reconstructed, but this does not surface in any of the attested varieties.
  4. The labialization contrast among the velars dates back to Proto-Mansi, but was in several varieties strengthened by labialization of velars adjacent to rounded vowels. In particular, Proto-Mansi *yK → Core Mansi *æKʷ (a form of transphonologization).

Vowels edit

Northern Mansi has a largely symmetric system of 8 vowels, though lacking short **/e/ and having a very rare long [iː]:

Remarks:

  1. ы/и /i/ has a velar allophone [ɨ] before г /ɣ/ and after х /x/.[4]
  2. Long [iː] occurs as a rare and archaic phonetic variant of /eː/, cf. э̄ти ~ ӣти (‘in the evening, evenings’)[5]
  3. Long /eː/ and /oː/ can be pronounced as diphthongs [e͜ɛ] and [o͜ɔ].[4]
  4. у /u/ is found in unstressed (“non-first”) syllables before в /w/, in the infinitive suffix -ункве /uŋkʷe/ and in obscured compound words.[4]
  5. Reduced /ə/ becomes labialized [ə̹] or [ɞ̯] before bilabial consonants м /m/ and п /p/.[4]

Grammar edit

Northern Mansi is an agglutinating, subject–object–verb (SOV) language.[6]

Article edit

One way to express a noun's definiteness in a sentence is with articles, and Northern Mansi uses two articles. The Indefinite is derived from the demonstrative pronominal word ань ('now'), the definite is derived from the number аква/акв ('one'); ань ('the'), акв ('a/an'). They both are used before the defined word. And if their adverbial and numeral meanings are to be expressed; ань always stands before the verb or a word with a similar function and is usually stressed, акв behaves the same and is always stressed.[7]

It's worth noting that the Northern Mansi newspaper, Luima Seripos (Лӯима̄ сэ̄рипос), doesn't use the before-mentioned words as articles.

Definiteness (determination) can also be expressed by the third (less often second) person singular possession marker,[8] or in case of direct objects, using transitive conjugation.[9] E.g. а̄мп (’dog’) → а̄мпе (’his/her/its dog’, ’the dog’); ха̄п (’boat’) → ха̄п на̄лув-нарыгтас (’he/she pushed a boat in the water’) ≠ ха̄п на̄лув-нарыгтастэ (’he/she pushed the boat in the water’).

Nouns edit

There is no grammatical gender. Mansi distinguishes between singular, dual and plural number. Six grammatical cases exist. Possession is expressed using possessive suffixes, for example -ум, which means "my".

Grammatical cases, declining edit

There are 5 ways the case suffix can change.

Missing cases can be expressed using postpositions, such as халныл (χalnəl, 'of, out of'), саит (sait, 'after, behind'), etc.

Possession edit

Possession is expressed with possessive suffixes, and the suffix change is determined by the last letter of a word. There are 5 ways that the suffixes can change:

Verbs edit

Northern Mansi conjugation has three persons, three numbers, two tenses, and five moods. Active and passive voices exist.

There is no clear distinction between transitive and intransitive verbs.[11]

The verb can conjugate in a Definite and Indefinite way which depends on if the sentence has an object, which the action depicted by the verb refers to directly.

Personal suffixes edit

Personal suffixes are attached after the verbal marker. The suffixes are the following:

Singular Dual Plural
1st person -ум -ме̄н
2nd person -ын -ы̄н -ы̄н
3rd person -ыт

Tenses edit

Tenses are formed with suffixes except for the future.

Present tense edit

The tense suffix precedes the personal suffix. The form of the present tense suffix depends on the character of the verbal stem, as well as moods. Tense conjugation is formed with the suffixes -эг, -э̄г, -и, -э, -э̄, -г, or -в.[12] In the following examples, the tense suffix is in bold and the personal ending is in italic.

рӯпитаӈкве - to work
Singular Dual Plural
1st person рӯпитэ̄гум рӯпитыме̄н рӯпитэ̄в
2nd person рӯпитэ̄гын рӯпитэгы̄н рӯпитэгы̄н
3rd person рӯпиты рӯпитэ̄г рӯпитэ̄гыт

The present tense suffix -э̄г is used if the following personal marker contains a consonant or a highly reduced vowel; the suffix -эг is used if the following personal marker has a stronger vowel, as it is the case in 2nd person dual and plural. 1st person dual has no tense marker but rather a ы between the verb stem and personal ending.

Verb stems that end in a vowel, have -г as verbal marker. Verb stems that end with the vowel у have -в as verbal marker.[13]

3rd person dual has no personal ending. If the verbal stem ends in a vowel, the tense suffix becomes -ыг.

1st person plural personal ending is -в if the verbal stems ends in a consonant; the personal ending becomes -ув if the verbal stem ends in a vowel.

Past tense edit

The past tense suffix if the verb stem is monosylabalic is -ыс- and if the verb is polysyllabic it is -ас-:

Сяр ма̄ньлат каснэ хум Евгений Глызин о̄лыс. The youngest participant in the competition was Jevgeni Glizin.
Ёська мо̄лхо̄тал урт рӯпитас. Joseph worked at the mountain yesterday.
рӯпитаӈкве - to work
Singular Dual Plural
1st person рӯпитасум рӯпитасаме̄н рӯпитасув
2nd person рӯпитасын рӯпитасы̄н рӯпитасы̄н
3rd person рӯпитас рӯпитасы̄г рӯпита̄сыт

3rd person dual in past tense has a -ы̄г personal ending.

The 1st person plural personal suffix turns into -ув.

Future "tense" edit

To represent the Future, the verb патуӈкве (not dissimilar to Hungarians use of the verb fogni) is used as an auxiliary verb conjugated in the Present Indicative:

Тав кӯтювытыл рӯпитаӈкве паты. He will work with (female) dogs.

Definiteness edit

Verbs can conjugate two ways to show agreement with the sentence's object.

Indefinite conjugation edit

In Indefinite verb conjugations, no object is present. Any suffix does not represent it.

Definite conjugation edit

In Definite verb conjugations there are three ways the verb can represent the direct object's number.

рӯпитаӈкве - to work
Singular Object Singular Dual Plural
1st person рӯпитылум рӯпитыламēн рӯпитылув
2nd person рӯпитылын рӯпитылы̄н рӯпитылы̄н
3rd person рӯпитытэ рӯпитытэ̄н рӯпитыяныл

The singular object is expressed with the -ыл- suffix which changes depending on the mood and tense.

рӯпитаӈкве - to work
Dual Object Singular Dual Plural
1st person рӯпитыягум рӯпитыягмēн рӯпитыягув
2nd person рӯпитыягын рӯпитыягы̄н рӯпитыягы̄н
3rd person рӯпитыяге рӯпитыягēн рӯпитыяга̄ныл

The dual object is expressed with the -ыяг- suffix which changes depending on the mood and tense.

рӯпитаӈкве - to work
Plural Object Singular Dual Plural
1st person рӯпитыянум рӯпитыянмēн рӯпитыянув
2nd person рӯпитыянын or
рӯпитыян
рӯпитыяны̄н or

рӯпитыяны̄н or
рӯпитыян
3rd person рӯпитыянэ рӯпитыянанэ̄н or
рӯпитыянэ̄н
рӯпитыяна̄ныл or
рӯпитыя̄ныл

The plural object is expressed with the -ыян- suffix which changes depending on the mood and tense.

Moods edit

There are four moods: indicative, mirative, optative, imperative and conditional.

Indicative mood has no suffix. Imperative mood exists only in the second person. Optative and Imperative don't have tenses.

Mirative mood edit

Is a mood presented in the present indefinite by the -не suffix and by the -но in definite.

In the past tense it is represented by the -ам suffix, both in indefinite and definite.

Optative mood edit

The mood is represented by the -нӯв and -нув suffixes, determined by the vowel in the next suffix.

Imperative mood edit

It exists only in the second person, and in indefinite conjugation, it doesn't show any personal markers, and it is represented by the -эн and -э̄н suffixes.

Active/Passive voice edit

Verbs have active and passive voice. Active voice has no suffix; the suffix to express the passive is -ве-.

Verbal prefixes edit

Verbal prefixes are used to modify the meaning of the verb in both concrete and abstract ways.

э̄л – 'away'

лаквуӈкве 'to move' э̄л-лаквуӈкве 'to move away'

юв – 'back'

минуӈкве 'to go' юв-минуӈкве 'to go back'

хот – 'direction away from something and other nuances of action intensity'

та̄ртаӈкве 'to let, to allow' хот-та̄ртаӈкве 'to let go'
патуӈкве 'to fall' хот-патуӈкве 'to fall away'

Vocabulary edit

The vocabulary of the Mansi languages is distinguished by a fairly large number of forms for denoting concepts related to hunting, reindeer husbandry, fishing (the main traditional occupations of the Mansi). For example, there are about seven words are used to define different types of swamps. At the same time, the language almost lacks its socio-political vocabulary. To denote such concepts that appeared in the life of Mansi in the 20th century; compounding, derivation (rarely affixation), and or borrowings were used. For example, "hospital" can be described by a borrowing пӯльница and derivation пусмалтан кол literally "medicinal/curative house".

Words from extinct dialects could also be revitalized in the literary language[citation needed]

Noteworthy lexical items edit

Kinship terms[14] edit

Northern Mansi differentiates between relatives based on from which side of the family they came from and also their relative age, for example:

Siblings are similarly differentiated to Hungarian and other Uralic languages:

younger elder unspecified
sister э̄сь ӯвси яга̄ги
brother а̄пси/кась каӈк ягпыг

Vocabulary examples edit

Example text edit

Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Northern Mansi:

Ма̄ янытыл о̄лнэ мир пуссын аквхольт самын патэ̄гыт, аквте̄м вос о̄лэ̄гыт, аквте̄м нё̄тмил вос кинсэ̄гыт. Та̄н пуӈк о̄ньщēгыт, номсуӈкве ве̄рме̄гыт, э̄сырма о̄ньщэ̄гыт, халанылт ягпыгыӈыщ-яга̄гиӈыщ вос о̄лэ̄гыт.[15]
Mā ânytyl ōlnè mir pussyn akvholʹt samyn patè̄gyt, akvtēm vos ōlè̄gyt, akvtēm në̄tmil vos kinsè̄gyt. Tān puňk ōnʹsēgyt, nomsuňkve vērmēgyt, è̄syrma ōnʹsʹè̄gyt, halanylt âgpygyňysʹ-âgāgiňysʹ vos ōlè̄gyt.

Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in English:

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Numbers[16] edit

Whole and below ten numbers edit

# Northern Sosva Mansi Hungarian
1 аква (akʷa) egy
2 китыг (kitɪɣ) kettő
3 хурум (xuːrɞ̯m) három
4 нила (nʲila) négy
5 ат (at) öt
6 хот (xoːt) hat
7 са̄т / ма̄нь са̄т (saːt / maːnʲ saːt) hét
8 нёлолов (nʲololow) nyolc
9 онтолов (ontolow) kilenc
10 лов (low) tíz
20 хус (xus) húsz
100 са̄т / яныг са̄т (saːt / janiɣ saːt) száz
1000 со̄тыр (soːtər) ezer

Numbers 1 and 2 also have attributive forms: акв (1) and кит (2); compare with Hungarian két, Old Hungarian kit).

The ма̄нь and яныг before 7 and 100 are there to differentiate between the two if both are in the same number or sentence; meaning small and big respectively.

Numbers between twenty and ten edit

The Mansi numbering system is different in this range than after twenty.

Here, you form a number with the word хуйп (above, more than);

# Northern Sosva Mansi Hungarian
11 аквхуйплов (akʷxujploβ) tizenegy
15 атхуйплов (atxujploβ) tizenöt
19 онтоловхуйплов (ontoloβxujploβ) tizenkilenc

Therefore, аквхуйплов means "one over/above ten", in a similar way to other Uralic languages.

Numbers above twenty edit

Number is this range use the word нупыл (towards);

# Northern Sosva Mansi Hungarian
21 ва̄т нупыл аква (βaːt nupəl akʷa) huszonegy
31 налыман нупыл аква (naliman nupəl akʷa) harmincegy
41 атпан нупыл аква (atpan nupəl akʷa) negyvenegy
51 хо̄тпан нупыл аква (xoːtpan nupəl akʷa) ötvenegy
61 са̄тлов нупыл аква (saːtloβ nupəl akʷa) hatvanegy
71 нёлса̄т нупыл аква (nʲolsaːt nupəl akʷa) hetvenegy
81 онтырса̄т нупыл аква (ontərsaːt nupəl akʷa) nyolcvanegy
91 са̄т нупыл аква (saːt nupəl akʷa) kilencvenegy

Therefore, ва̄т нупыл аква means "Towards thirty with one".

Numbers above and beyond hundred edit

You just add the number after the biggest number;

# Northern Sosva Mansi Hungarian
101 са̄т аква (saːt akʷa) százegy
111 са̄т аквхуйплов (saːt akʷxujploβ) száztizenegy
121 са̄т ва̄т нупыл аква (saːt βaːt nupəl akʷa) százhuszonegy
201 китса̄т аква (xoːtpan akʷa) kétszázegy
301 хурумса̄т аква (xuːrɞ̯msaːt akʷa) háromszázegy

Media in Northern Mansi edit

 
Logo of Lūimā sēripos newspaper

Since 1989 Лӯимā сэ̄рипос (Lūimā sēripos) "Northern dawn" newspaper has been the only and most prominent Mansi media. As of 2024 "Listen to articles", most articles on the site of the newsagency, have their authors read the articles out loud, so people can not just read the news in their native language but listen to it as well. This initiative was taken as the UN declared 2022-2032 as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages.

"Scholars and linguists believe that the Khanty and Mansi languages are dying; we, in turn, are making attempts to preserve and promote our native languages. Thus, to learn languages, it will be convenient and interesting to listen to the live speech of native speakers"

said Галина Кондина (Galina Kondina) the head editor of the newsagency.[17]

The Gospel of Mark in Northern Mansi is available online on Finugorbib site, audio recordings can also be found
