Enets - Enets (English spelling)

Japanese: エネツ族 - エネツぞく（英語表記）Enets

An ethnic minority living on the eastern bank of the lower Yenisei River in central Siberia, Russia. Their name means "human beings" (enneche). They were gradually assimilated by the neighboring Nenets, and by the 1920s their population had dropped to just a few dozen, but a 2002 survey estimated their population at about 300. Their language belongs to the Samoyedic branch of the Uralic language family, but they have two dialects, the differences between which are thought to be very large. Their traditional occupations were reindeer herding, hunting, and fishing, and during the Soviet era they worked in reindeer herding and fishing in collective farms and sovkhozes together with the Nenets and Gasanans.

Japanese:

ロシア，シベリアの中部，エニセイ川下流東岸に居住する少数民族。民族名称は「人間」ennecheの意。しだいに近隣のネネツ族に同化吸収され，1920年代には人口数十人にまで減少したが，2002年の調査では推計約 300人と報告されている。言語はウラル語族のサモイェード語派に属するが，二つの方言をもち，その差異は非常に大きいとみられる。伝統的な生業はトナカイ牧畜と狩猟・漁労で，ソビエト連邦時代にはネネツ族やガサナン族とともに，コルホーズやソフホーズでトナカイ牧畜や漁労などに従事した。
