Karagas language

Karagas language

Karagas was one of the languages spoken by the Karagas people of southern Siberia. (This group should not be confused with the Tofalar who are also at times known by this name.)

Some sources consider Karagas to have been essentially the same language as Mator. However the 1984 Britannica listed them as separate languages. Since both have been extinct since sometime in the 19th Century it is hard to make a definitive determination.
