The names of two autonomous regions of Russia ([[Nenets Autonomous Okrug|Nenets]], [[Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug|Yamal-Nenets]]) mention the Nenets as the titular nationality of the region; another such district ([[Taymyr Autonomous Okrug|Taimyrsky (Dolgano-Nenetsky) Autonomous Okrug]]) was abolished in 2007 and transformed into the [[Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District|Taimyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District]] of the [[Krasnoyarsk Krai]].

The Nenets are divided into two groups: tundra and forest;  the two groups have different languages. Tundra Nenets are the majority. They live in two autonomous regions.  The Forest Nenets – about 1500 people - live in the basin of the Pur and [[Taz (river)|Taz]] rivers in the southeast of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the east of the [[Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug|Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra]].
