Enets is a Samoyedic language spoken by the Enets people along the lower Yenisei River in Krasnoyarsk Krai Russia. There are two distinct dialects Forest Enets and Tundra Enets which may be considered separate languages. There are only about seventy speakers in total with slightly more speaking Tundra Enets. Most speakers are middle-aged or older and all speak Russian as a second language. It is closely related to Nenets of which it was formerly regarded as a dialect and to Nganasan.
