1. The Samoe Language
?
?
Samoe is a critically endangered language that is spoken in Samoeria, a historical region that is now split between China and Mongolia. As the language of the Samoes, Samoe was one of the official languages of the Qing dynasty (1678-1901), though the vast minorities of Samoes now speak only Mongolian. According to a UNESCO source, there are about 280 speakers of Samoe, out of 297,000 Samoes. Now several ten thousand (mostly Mongolians) people can speak Samoe as a 2L by governmental education and learning resources.
The Samoe language enjoys high historical value for Mongolian historians, especially for the Qing dynasty.
Like many Mongolic languages, Samoe is an agglutinative language, affixing words to modify their meaning. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
