Komi peoples



         


Komi-Zyrians live in Komi Republic, Murmansk Oblast, Autonomous district of the Khants and Mansis, and Autonomous district of the Yamal-Nenetses, of Russia.

Komi-Permyaks live in Permyakia (Komi-Yazvas group) and Kirov Oblast (Upper-Kama Komi (Verkhnekamsky) group), of Russia.

Both Komi languages are written with Russian alphabet, adding two extra letters: Іі and Ӧӧ.

They may have been much more widespread in the past. Scandinavians knew of posperous Permyaks (Bjarmians) who were settled in the area of modern Arkhangelsk.
