The paper examines the evolution of *j- in six South Siberian languages: Chelkan (= Lebedin), Kumandin, Oirot (= Altai proper), Telengit, Teleut, and Tuba. The main directions have been known fro more than a century; here, the focus is on the variance within each of these languages, which is considerable, as well as on the inconsistencies between the available sources.
