Template:Infobox Russian federal subject Udmurtia,Template:Refn officially the Udmurt Republic,Template:Refn is a republic of Russia located in Eastern Europe. It is administratively part of the Volga Federal District. Its capital is the city of Izhevsk.

It was established as the Udmurt (until 1931 — Votskaya) Autonomous Region on November 4, 1920.[1]

Name

The name Udmurt comes from Script error: No such module "Lang". ('meadow people'), where the first part represents the Permic root Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang". ('meadow, glade, turf, greenery'). This is supported by a document dated 1557, in which the Udmurts[2] are referred to as Template:Transliteration ('meadow people'), alongside the traditional Russian name Template:Transliteration.[3]

The second part Script error: No such module "Lang". means 'person' (cf. Komi Template:Transliteration, Mari Template:Transliteration). It is probably an early borrowing from a Scythian language: Script error: No such module "Lang". or Script error: No such module "Lang". ('person, man'; Sanskrit: Manus or Manushya), which is thought to have been borrowed from the Indo-Aryan term Script error: No such module "Lang". ('man, mortal, one who is bound to die'. cf. Old Indic Template:Transliteration ('young warrior') and Template:Transliteration ('chariot warrior'), both connected specifically with horses and chariots.[4] The Indo-Europeanists T. Gamkrelidze and V. Ivanov associate this word with horse-riding Altaic tribes in the Bronze Age.[5][6]

On the other hand, in the Russian tradition, the name 'meadow people' refers to the inhabitants of the left bank of river in particular.Template:Clarify Recently, the most relevant is the version of V. V. Napolskikh and S. K. Belykh. They suppose that ethnonym was borrowed either from Indo-Iranian Script error: No such module "Lang". 'outside, close, last, edge, limit, boundary' or Turkic-Altaic Script error: No such module "Lang"./Script error: No such module "Lang". 'oath (in fidelity), comrade, friend'.[7]

Udmurt Jews are a special territorial group of the Ashkenazi Jews, which started to be formed in the residential areas of mixed Turkic-speaking (Tatars, Kryashens, Bashkirs, Chuvash people), Finno-Ugric-speaking (Udmurts, Mari people) and Slavic-speaking (Russians) population. The Ashkenazi Jews on the territory of the Udmurt Republic first appeared in the 1830s.[26][27][28][29] The Udmurt Jewry had formed the local variety on the base of the Yiddish of Udmurtia till the 1930s and features of Yiddish of migrants "joined" into it (in the 1930s and 1940s);[30] as a result up to the 1970s and 1980s the Udmurt variety of Yiddish (Udmurtish) was divided into two linguistic subgroups: the central subgroup (with centers Izhevsk, Sarapul, and Votkinsk) and the southern subgroup (with centers Kambarka, Alnashi, Agryz, and Naberezhnye Chelny).[30] One of the characteristic features of the Udmurtish is a noticeable number of Udmurt and Tatar loan words.[31][32]
