"According to the data of the Tomsk linguists, there are no more than 15-20 speakers of all the dialects of the Southern Selkup group altogether left, and they all are over 70."
"The transmission of the southern Selkup dialects from parents to children has stopped since some decades. Now these dialects are spoken only by some elderly people.

"In the Tomsk region, the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous area and the Turukhansk district of the Krasnoyarsk territory Selkup has a status of a protected language... Traditional spheres of the functioning of Selkup are family, traditional activities (hunting, fishing, and reindeer herding for transport needs), and oral lore... All Selkups speaking Selkup are bilingual with Russian as their second or sometimes their first language. There are no Selkup speaking monolinguals any more."
Orthographies developed beginning in the 19th century, with new orthographies being proposed through the 1980s. "It should be mentioned that the main sphere of the functioning of the Selkup writing system is education. Outside school and university the Selkup writing (both in the Northern dialect and in the dialects of the Southern Selkups) is very little used."
"The Selkup are dispersed on a large area of Western Siberia between the Middle Ob and the Yenisei in the territory of the Tomsk region, the Krasnoselkup and the Pur districts of the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous area, and the Turukhansk district of the Krasnoyarsk territory... In the Tomsk region the Selkup reside in the middle flow of the Ob and its tributaries the Ket’, the Tym, the Parabel’, and the Vasyugan... Rather a large group of the Selkup live in Napas. About 30 % of the Southern Selkup live in the towns Kolpashevo, Kedroviy, and in the regional centre Tomsk."

"... Южноселькупские [диалелты] находятся в крайней степени угрозы исчезновения, насчитывая официально 50 [Перепись 2010], но фактически не более 5 носителей, представляющих в основном один диалект. Таким образом, статистические сведения по этнической самоидентифакции не отражают степени сохранности языка." [Southern Selkup (dialects) are under an extreme threat of extinction, numbering officially 50 speakers (Census 2010), but in reality not more than 5 speakers, representing basically one dialect. Thus, statistical data about ethnic self-identification do not reflect the degree of language conservation.]
