Komi-Permyak is a member of the Komi group of the Permic branch of the Uralic language famil. It spoken by about 63,000 people in Perm Krai and the Kirov Oblast in the weset of the Russian Federation. It has co-official status with Russian in the Komi-Permyak Okrug (Коми-Перем кытш), which is also known as Permyakia, in the northwest of Perm Krai.
Komi-Permyak is also known as Permyak, and used to be called коми кыв ("Komi language"). The name Komi-Permyak (коми-пермяцкöй кыв) was introduced by the Soviet authorities in the 1920s as a way to refer to the Komi language of the Perm Region.
There are two main groups of Komi-Permyak dialects: Northern and Southern. The Northern dialects include Upper Lupya, Mysy, Kosa-Kama, Kochevo, Zyuzdino and Yazva, while the Southern dialects include Kudymkar-Inva Lower Inva, On and Nerdva.
Komi was written with the Old Permic or Abur alphabet from 1372 to the 17th century, when the Cyrillic alphabet was adapted to write the language. A new version of the Cyrillic alphabet, known as the Molodtsov alphabet (Молодцов анбур), was introduced for Komi in the 1920s. From 1930-1936 Komi was written with a version of the Latin alphabet, after which the Cyrillic alphabet was used again. The first book Komi, a vaccination manual, was published in 1815.
