Yodz, Komi-Yodzyak (Коми-Ёдз; Komi-Yodz), or Komi-Yazva[1] is spoken mostly in Krasnovishersky District of Perm Krai in Russia, in the basin of the Yazva River. It is a Permic language closely related to Komi-Zyrian and Permyak. It has no official status.
About two thousand speakers densely live in Krasnovishersky District.
[edit] Studies
Availability of the particular vowels together with features of phonetics and stress system afforded the Finnish linguist Gunets an opportunity in 1889 to mark out the Komi-Yodzyak as the separate dialect. Later this decision was confirmed by the famous Finno-Ugric scientist Lytkin who was profoundly studying the Komi-Yodzyak idiom from 1949 till 1953 and has visited their land for three times. However, by some scientists[who?], including Ethnologue, it is still considered to be rather a part of the Komi-Permyak language.
[edit] Alphabet
The first Yodzyak primer was printed in 2003. Its author was the teacher of the Parshavskaya school A. L. Parshakova. This book also became first one ever printed in Yodzyak language.
