The earliest observations about the language were published by [[Peter Simon Pallas]] in 1788 in a travel diary ({{Lang|ru|Путешествия по разным провинциям Русского Государства}}, {{Lang|ru-latn|Puteshestviya po raznim provintsiyam Russkogo Gosudarstva}}). [[Matthias Castrén]] was one of the last known to study the [[Kott language]]. Castrén lived beside the [[Kan River|Kan river]] with five people of Kott, in which is believed were the last remaining people who spoke the language.{{sfn|Georg|2007|p={{pn|date=May 2021}}}} In 1858, Castrén published the first grammar and dictionary ({{Lang|de|Versuch einer jenissei-ostjakischen und Kottischen Sprachlehre}}), which also included material on the Kott language. During the 19th century, the Ket were mistaken for a tribe of the Finno-Ugric [[Khanty people|Khanty]]. A. Karger in 1934 published the first grammar ({{Lang|ru|Кетский язык}} {{Lang|ru-latn|Ketskij jazyk}}), as well as a Ket primer ({{Lang|ru|Букварь на кетском языке}} {{Lang|ru-latn|Bukvar' na ketskom jazyke}}), and a new treatment appeared in 1968, written by A. Kreinovich.
