Today the term "Mator people" is simply a name of aseok of theKoibal, one of the five territorial sub-division groups of theKhakas. (Note that the name "Koibal" likewise derives from the related SamoyedicKoibal language).
Mator has been frequently grouped together withSelkup andKamassian as "South Samoyedic". This is however a grouping by geographical area, and not considered to constitute an actual sub-branch of the Samoyedic languages.
