Kotten (people)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kotten were a Paleo-Siberian people who spoke a southern Jenisese language . Matthias Alexander Castrén reported in his work published by Anton Schiefner in 1858 about the Yenisei-Ostyak and Scottish languages ​​that few Scottish families still lived on the rivers Kungm and Vljka and near the cities of Kansk , Barnaul and in the villages of Jelansk and Ansir. They are animists and build tents out of birch bark. Today their descendants are part of the Turkic speaking Khakass .
