Notes
- Lower Chulym has traditionally been considered a dialect of Chulym. It appears to be a separate language, and belongs to a different branch of Turkic.
- Dul'zon lists two dialects of Ös: Tutal and Melet. The native names given are tutal čʼonu and pilet čʼonu. The two dialects exhibit the following sound correspondences:
- ž ↔ z, e.g. kiži (T) ↔ kizi (M) 'person'
- č ↔ š ↔ s, e.g. čäl (T) ↔ šäl (M) 'wind', quš (T) ↔ qus (M) 'bird'
- VɣV ↔ V̄, e.g.
- The Living Tongues institute mentions an 'Upper Chulym' dialect that shares features with Khakas and which may be extinct. This likely refers to the Melet dialect, as it does share certain sound correspondences with Khakas, e.g. Khakas kizi 'person', xus 'bird'.
