Komi-Zyrian is a member of the Permic branch of the Uralic language family. It is spoken by 100,000 people mainly in the Komi Republic (Коми Республика) in the northwest of the Russian Federation. There are also speakers of Komi-Zyrian in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Nenetsia), the Komi-Permyak Okrug (Permyakia) and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Yamalia).
Komi-Zyrian is also known as Komi, Komi-Zyryan, Zyrian or Zyran. Speakers of Komi-Zyrian call their language коми кыв [komi kɨv] (komi kyv) or зыран коми кыв (zyran komi kyv). Dialects include Syktyvkardin, Lower Ežva, Central Ežva, Upper Ežva, Luz-let, Upper Sysola, Pećöra, Iźva, Vym and Udora.
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.
