[edit] Clarification
Ok, this part didn't make sense
- "In spite of the attention paid to the Ket language and its origin there are no dictionaries, academic monographs on the language, or samples of texts available. E. Kreinovich in 1986 suggested a Ket orthography based on the Cyrillic alphabet, without fully representing Ket phonology with the 32 letters used. The written language is based on the Suloma and Kellog dialects."
Several problems: 1) The article just finished describing grammars and books written about the language, so how are there no academic monographs on it. 2) If the written language is based on the Suloma and Kellog dialects, how are there no samples of the text? And the previous sentence implies there is only a suggested written form, not one in actual use, so that needs some clarification too. Overall, it needs to be more clear and more context for what the terms mean. - Taxman Talk 20:09, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, Miskwito is right and I accept the correction: "conclusive" is POV. Thnidu (talk) 16:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
