History of The Literary Language
The Khanty written language was first created after the October Revolution on the basis of the Latin script in 1930, and then with the Cyrillic alphabet (with the additional letter <ң> for /ŋ/) from 1937. Khanty literary works are usually written in three dialects, Kazym, Shuryshkar, and Middle Ob. Newspaper reporting and TV and radio broadcasting are usually done in the Kazymian dialect.

Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
