The Kets of Central Siberia are perhaps the most enigmatic of
Siberia's aboriginal tribes. Today numbering barely 1,100 souls
living in several small villages on the middle reaches of the
Yenisei, the Kets have retained much of their ancient culture, as
well as their unique language. Genetic studies of the Ket hint at
an ancient affinity with Tibetans, Burmese, and other peoples of
peoples of South East Asia not shared by any other Siberian people.
The Ket language, which is unrelated to any other living Siberian
tongue, also appears to be a relic of a bygone linguistic landscape
of Inner Asia. Because language isolates such as Ket are of special
value to scholars of the original peopling of the continents,
linguists have recently attempted to link Ket with North Caucasian,
Sino- Tibetan, Burushaski, Basque and Na Dene. None of these links
have been proved to the satisfaction of all linguists, and the
research continues both in Russia and abroad.
