Area and number

In the early 1960s, about 2,000 speakers lived compactly on the territory of Krasnovishersky District of Perm Krai (Antipinskaya, Parshakovskaya, Bychinskaya and Verkh-Yazvinskaya village administrations). In total, there were about 3,000 language-speakers.[2]

Status

The presence of special vowel sounds, specific phonetics and accent system allowed first Finnish linguist Arvid Genetz, who studied the people in 1889, and then the Finno-Ugric philologist Vasily Lytkin, who visited the Komi-Yazvinians three times between 1949 and 1953, to identify the Komi-Yazvinians as a separate dialect.[2] Some researchers consider it to be a dialect of the Komi-Permyak language.[3]

Alphabet

The first Komi-Yazva primer was printed in 2003. Its author was the teacher of the Parshavskaya school A. L. Parshakova. This book also became the first one ever printed in Komi-Yazva language.
