Among Uralic languages, Erzya and Moksha are not in Samoyedic, but in Mordvinic group. (Uralic has two main branches, Samoyedic and Finno-Ugric, and Mordvinic is a sub-group in FU.)

Thank you!

incredible quiz although incredibly complicated, got 91. It's impressive how the Soviets wanted to be encyclopedically correct on how many languages they had, at a point where languages with a few hundred people were registered
