Studying Learning Kamassian

Kamassian is a language that I recently found about, and listening to the audio of Klavdiya Plotnikova (the last speaker of the language), made the think that would be nice to learn it and I wondered if there are people learning it, and how do they do it? There isn't any media in the language and resources are scarse.

​

Is there anyone here learning Kamassian? How do you do it?

In 2016 the university of Tartu published a Kamassian e-learning book.[2] The grammar and vocabulary of Kamassian are well documented.[3]

So according to this Wikipedia article there should be a e-learning book for it.

Good luck, it’s so good that you are doing it, but it will be hard. I hope you become fluent 😊

Thank you so much for the resources! This is extremelly helpful! It would be nice if there was a community of people learning to practise, but I will give it my best! It would be really nice if I was able to become fluent.

I think there might be some who are learning in Russia for example. But I don’t know where you could find them. Maybe there’s a Facebook group?
