Yukaghir is a seriously endangered language spoken by about 50 people in the northeast of Asiatic Russia. It is one of the two surviving languages of the Yukaghir family, which is considered by different scholars either as an isolate left over from before the expansion of other languages and language families into Siberia, or as a distant relative of the Uralic family. Uppsala University professor and expert in Uralic languages. Remembered for his popular translations of Kalevala (1948) and Beowulf (1954) and works on the Finno-Ugric languages.
