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.

Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid.

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