Khanto

Khanto (form. Noyabrsk, Finn. Hantto, Russ. Ханто) is a Uralican city located close to the southern border of Yamalia county, of which it is the largest settlement (albeit only by two or three thousand people over Novy Urengoy). Originally founded as an oil boom town, it has actually shrunk since the oil reserves dried up, however it still has relevance as a centre for mining operations of vast reserves of iron.

Culture
Its name would indicate a strong Khanty presence in the city, however the largest ethnic Uralic community is actually Samoyedic, with the most-spoken Uralic language being Selkup. Other than this, the community is predominantly Russian, both by ethnicity and Tribe. There is also a small Nenets population.

Khanto is notorious for having the vast majority of Uralica's monoglots, the majority of these speaking Selkup or Nganasan. Fortunately, there are enough speakers of these two languages in the city to translate Russian texts for these. It is also the location of one of four "Last Speakers" homes in Uralica, where speakers of moribund Uralic languages can speak and even teach their language. Forest and Tundra Enets, Northern and Southern Yukaghir, and Pite Saami are spoken, studied, and taught here.
