If you're asking about 'Nenets', according to "The Languages of
the World" (Katzner,1975):
"Nenets, formerly known as Yurak, is spoken in the northernmost
part of the Soviet Union, in an area extending from the White Sea
on the west to the Yenisei River on the east, a distance of about
1,500 miles. It's speakers, who are known as Nentsy, number about
25,000. Most of them live in the Yamal-Nenets National District,
with its capital at Salekhard; about 3,500 live in the Nenets
National District, whose capital is Naryan Mar. Nenets is the most
widely spoken of the Samoyed languages, one of the two branches
of the Uralic family."
