Udmurt Girl from Tatarstan, Russia

[udmurtian-word-a-day]

Udmurtia, or the Udmurt Republic, is a federal subject of Russia located in the Volga region, west of the Ural Mountains. It is known for its rich folklore, traditional textiles, and the Udmurt language, which is closely related to Komi. Unfortunately, right now this language is slowly disappearing and the only thing I can do is try to popularize it here, that's why I'm gonna post random Udmurtian words with translation and transcription daily.

I know this might not look too flashy, but this might be my favourite stamp sheet. These Estonian stamps are a language tree of the Uralic languages.

Going anti-clockwise from the bottom middle stamp, we have:

The Samoyedic Languages: Nenets, Enets, Nganasan, Selkup, and Kamasin

The Ugric Languages: Hungarian, Khanty and Mansi

The Permic Languages: Komi and Udmurt

The Mari and Mordvinic (Erzya and Moksha) Languages

The Sami Languages (Nortern, Southern, Skolt, Inari, Lule, Ume, Pite, Ter and Kildin Sami)

The Baltic-Finnic Languages: Veps, Karelian, Izhorian, Livonian, Finnish, Estonian and Votic

Languages in brackets weren't mentioned in the stamp, but I thought I'd elaborate anyway

Edit: put Ingrian instead of Izhorian. Should've known better, sorry

Questions for tumblr #3

Ok, weird theme right, but it's interesting to me how not many people talk about native russians, even on native turmblr. Could this be due to the general isolation that Russia is in from the rest of the world?

It's soooo hard finding resources on my native language, culture, people etc.
