The Meshchera language was a Finno-Ugric language [1] spoken by the Meshchera tribe, in what is today the Oka River basin in Russia. Very little is known about the language, but it was probably closely related to the Mordvinic languages Moksha and Erzya. Meshchera language probably became extinct by the 16th century.
