Which two languages evolved from the Proto-Uralic family?

It's important to note that the Proto-Uralic language is a hypothetical reconstruction, meaning we don't have any direct records of it. However, based on the similarities between known Uralic languages, we can infer that they all descended from a common ancestor.

While we can't definitively say which two languages evolved from Proto-Uralic, we can identify two of the most prominent branches of the family:

1. Finnic - This branch includes Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, and several other languages spoken in Finland, Estonia, Hungary, and parts of Russia.

2. Samoyedic - This branch includes languages like Nenets, Selkup, and Enets spoken in northern Russia, mainly in the Siberian region.

These two branches are considered distinct from each other and are part of the larger Uralic family.
