background

It is believed that the Magyars, the ancestors of today's Hungarians, originated in Khantia-Mansia and that they gave birth to small but ancient cultures of the Khanti and Mansi. The Khanti and Mansi languages ​​are the closest relatives of modern Hungarian.

Khanti-Mansia is extremely important to Russia as it extracts most of the country's oil.

language

In addition to Russian, the official languages ​​are also the language of the Chanting and the Mansen. These languages ​​are threatened with extinction. They are written with a modified Cyrillic alphabet. The two ethnic groups are members of the RAIPON, the «Association of the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East»
