Permic languages

The Permian languages are a group of the Urals language family , spoken in Udmurtia and the Komi Republic ; After Hungarian, there are the oldest texts of the Finno-Ugric language family from this group . An old Permyak literary culture existed in the second half of the 14th century (decayed in the 18th century).

The Permian languages ​​are

• Komi
  • Komi-Permyak
  • Komi Syrian
  • yaz'va
• udmurtisch (Votyak)

It is believed by many scholars that Komi-Permyak, Komi-Syrian and yaz'va are dialects of a single language, as the classification is mainly based on the stress rule, which is different in the three variants.

The Permian evolved from the Urals around 2000 BC. Separated out. It is not clear whether the split occurred before or after the Ugric languages . Since the loans from Chuvash are available in both Udmurt and Komi variants, it can be assumed that the Permians still formed a unit at the time of the rule of the Volga Bulgarians .
