The Yugh people (pronounced [ɟuk]; often written Yug) are a critically endangered Yeniseian people, an indigenous group who originally lived throughout central Siberia. The Yugh people live along the Yenisei River from Yeniseisk to the mouth of the Dupches River [ru].[2] The Yughs speak the Yugh language, which is believed to be extinct.
