Wiktionary:About Northern Mansi

About
Northern Mansi is a Uralic language, one of the three languages in the Mansi branch of the Ob-Ugric family. It encompasses 4 dialects:
 * Upper Lozva [FL/LO]
 * Northern (Severnaya) Sosva (can be considered the literary language of the Mansi people) [Szo/So]
 * Sygva [Szi/Sy]
 * Ob [Obsk.]

Orthography
It uses the Cyrillic script, almost identical to the Russian. Some of the differences include:
 * Long and short variants of vowels, depicted with a macron: а̄, е̄, э̄, о̄, ӯ, ӣ, ы̄, ё̄, ю̄, я̄, 
 * Includes the letter; ӈ

Inflection
Inflection tables have two variants depending on what is the last letter of the base word. This rule excludes Category:Northern Mansi verb inflection-table templates, which is not fully implemented yet.

Etymology
