Ingrian

Ingrian (Ižoran keeli)

Ingrian or Izhorian is a Finno-Ugric language spoken by about 500 people
in Ingria, a region of Russia on the eastern shores of the Baltic. It
is closely related to eastern dialects of Finnish. The
majority of Ingrian speakers are elderly.

Between 1932 and 1937 a spelling system for Ingrian based on the
Latin alphabet was used. A number of textbooks and a grammar
were published, and the language was taught in schools on the
Soikono Peninsula and around the mouth of the Luda River.
From 1937 however, writing in Ingrian was forbidden and
the Ingrian or Izhorian people, along with many other
peoples, suffered mass repression.
