Despite numerous attempts to save languages of Siberian indigenous people, dialects are dying one after another.
      
      Russian Institute of Philology (Siberian branch of Russian Academy of Sciences) reports about 42 tongues that currently exist in Siberia. Said dialects are united in three linguistic communities, and are spoken by various amounts of people, varying from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
      
      The problem lies in small amount of people, who speak these languages, and their assimilation with other nations. Scientists try to save these tongues by teaching them to Siberian population, but this makes the situation worse. Since teaching cover one basic dialect of a language, those, who are used to other dialects, concieve it as an incorrect version of their own tongue. This leads to total loss of a dialect. Another problem in conserving dying languages is the lack of written language - one third of Siberian languages lost their written variant. Scientists are currently working on alphabets to said languages.
