Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Uralo-Siberian is a hypothetical language family consisting of Uralic, Yukaghir, Chukotko-Kamchatkan and Eskimo-Aleut. It was proposed in 1998 by Michael Fortescue, an expert in Eskimo-Aleut and Chukotko-Kamchatkan, in his book Language Relations across Bering Strait. The theory has yet to win wide acceptance. Structural similarities between Uralic and Eskimo-Aleut languages were observed early. In 1746, the Danish theologian Marcus Wöldike compared Greenlandic to Hungarian. In 1818, Rasmus Rask considered Greenlandic to be related to the Uralic languages, Finnish in particular, and presented a list of lexical correspondences. In 1959, Knut Bergsland published the paper The Eskimo-Uralic Hypothesis, in which he, like other authors before him, presented a number of grammatical similarities and a small number of lexical correspondences.
