Arin is an extinct Yeniseian language formerly spoken in Russia by the Arin people along the Yenisei River, predominantly on its left shore, between Yeniseysk and Krasnoyarsk,[3] north of the Minusinsk region. However, it has been suggested that the Arin people had historically occupied a larger geographical range. It became extinct in the 18th century,[3][4] with the death of Arzamas Loskutov,[1] who was an informant for Gerhard Friedrich Müller in 1731,[5] and for a Cossack adventurer named Ivan Kovrigin in 1735.[6][1]

It is believed that the term Ar or Ara was used by speakers of Arin to refer to themselves.[3]

Classification

It is classified as belonging to the Arinic branch, being its only attested language.[7] The closest known relative of Arin, Pumpokol, has been suggested to be similar to the language of the ruling elite of the Xiongnu,[8][2] as well as that of the Jie ruling class of the Later Zhao dynasty.[9]

Geographical distribution

Hydronyms associated with Arin have the suffixes Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang". (meaning "river") and Script error: No such module "Lang"./Script error: No such module "Lang". (meaning "water").[10] These hydronyms, along with Khanty folklore telling of an eastern people known as the Script error: No such module "Lang". "Ar people", indicate that Arin may have once been spread out as far west as the Ob.[3][7]

Phonology

One notable aspect of the Arin phonology is the correspondence of words starting with the word-initial Script error: No such module "Lang". and words in other Yeniseian languages that start with a bare vowel. For example, the Arin word Script error: No such module "Lang". (meaning 'water') corresponds to the Ket word Script error: No such module "Lang". and the Kott word Script error: No such module "Lang"..[11] This feature of Arin allows for far more accurate reconstructing of the Proto-Yeniseian language by historical linguistics, for instance, the Proto-Yeniseian term for "water" is reconstructed as *xuɬ, where the initial *x- could not be inferred if not for Arin attestation.

Vowels

The vowel system in Arin is as follows:[10]

Front Central Back
Close i ɨ u
Close-mid e o
Open-mid ɛ (ʌ)1 ɔ
Open æ a
  1. The sound [ʌ], transcribed as Script error: No such module "Lang"., is only attested in the words Script error: No such module "Lang". 'six', Script error: No such module "Lang". 'sixteen', Script error: No such module "Lang". 'sixty', and Script error: No such module "Lang". 'ear', and potentially also in Script error: No such module "Lang". (also recorded as Script error: No such module "Lang".) 'duck'.

Consonants in parentheses are sparsely attested or unattested.

  1. [ʔ] is only assumed from other Yeniseian languages and is only a prosodic device of tone.

There are 11 palatal-nonpalatal consonant oppositions.[10]

Lexicon

Etymological analysis suggests that speakers of the Arin language, as with other members of the Yeniseian people, were bilingual in Siberian Turkic languages; for example, the Arin word Script error: No such module "Lang". (meaning "ore") has been suggested to stem from the Old Turkic compound word Script error: No such module "Lang". (meaning "iron blood").[12] There are over 400 lexica for the Arin language, recorded in the 18th century.[5]
