'''Udmurt''' ({{IPAc-en|ʊ|d|ˈ|m|ʊər|t}}; Cyrillic: Удмурт) is a [[Social:Permic languages|Permic]] language spoken by the Udmurt people who are native to Udmurtia. As a [[Social:Uralic languages|Uralic]] language, it is distantly related to languages such as [[Social:Finnish language|Finnish]], [[Social:Estonian language|Estonian]], [[Social:Mansi language|Mansi]], [[Social:Khanty language|Khanty]], and [[Social:Hungarian language|Hungarian]]. The Udmurt language is co-official with [[Social:Russian language|Russian]] within Udmurtia.

It is written using the Cyrillic alphabet with the addition of five characters not used in the [[Social:Russian alphabet|Russian alphabet]]: Ӝ/ӝ, Ӟ/ӟ, Ӥ/ӥ, Ӧ/ӧ, and Ӵ/ӵ. Together with the [[Social:Komi language|Komi]] and [[Social:Komi-Permyak language|Permyak]] languages, it constitutes the Permic grouping of the Uralic [[Social:Language family|family]]. Among outsiders, it has traditionally been referred to by its Russian exonym, '''Votyak'''. Udmurt has borrowed vocabulary from neighboring languages, mainly from [[Social:Tatar language|Tatar]] and [[Social:Russian language|Russian]].

In 2010, per the Russian census, there were around 324,000 speakers of the language in the country, out of the ethnic population of roughly 554,000.<ref name="Endangered Languages">{{cite web | title=Udmurt | work=Endangered Languages Project | url=http://www.endangeredlanguages.com/lang/3010 | access-date=29 January 2022}}</ref> [[Social:Ethnologue|Ethnologue]] estimated that there were 550,000 native speakers (77%) out of an ethnic population of 750,000 in the former Russian SFSR (1989 census),<ref>[http://www.ethnologue.com/14/show_language.asp?code=UDM Ethnologue code=UDM] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081009184327/http://www.ethnologue.com/14/show_language.asp?code=UDM |date=October 9, 2008 }}</ref> a decline of roughly 41% in 21 years.

==Dialects==
Udmurt varieties can be grouped into three broad dialect groups:
* Northern Udmurt, spoken along the Cheptsa River
* Southern Udmurt
* Besermyan, spoken by the strongly [[Social:Turkification|Turkified]] Besermyans

A continuum of intermediate dialects between Northern and Southern Udmurt is found, and literary Udmurt includes features from both areas. Besermyan is more sharply distinguished.{{cn|date=September 2015}}

The differences between the dialects are not major and mainly involve differences in vocabulary, largely attributable to the stronger influence of Tatar in the southern end of the Udmurt-speaking area. A few differences in morphology and phonology still exist as well; for example:
* Southern Udmurt has an accusative ending ''-ыз'' {{IPA|/-ɨz/}}, contrasting with northern ''-ты'' {{IPA|/-tɨ/}}.
* Southwestern Udmurt distinguishes an eighth vowel phoneme {{IPA|/ʉ/}}.
* Besermyan has {{IPA|/e/}} in place of standard Udmurt {{IPA|/ə/}} (thus distinguishing only six vowel phonemes), and {{IPA|/ɵ/}} in place of standard Udmurt {{IPA|/ɨ/}}.

==Orthography==
{{main|Social:Udmurt alphabets}}
Udmurt is written using a modified version of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet:

The consonants {{IPA|/f x t͡s/}} are restricted to loanwords, and are traditionally replaced by {{IPA|/p k t͡ɕ/}} respectively. As in [[Social:Hungarian language|Hungarian]], Udmurt exhibits regressive voicing and devoicing assimilations (the last element determines the assimilation), but with some exceptions (mostly to distinguish minimal pairs by voicing).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://udmurt.info/udmurt/lekcii/02.htm|title=2.

==Grammar==
[[File:Votskij bukvar.jpg|thumb|Udmurt language textbook, 1898 (in Russian) [http://static.my-shop.ru/product/pdf/115/1149493.pdf Букварь для вотскихъ дѣтей]]] Udmurt is an agglutinating language. It uses [[Social:Affix|affix]]es to express possession, to specify mode, time, and so on.

No gender distinction is made in nouns or personal pronouns.

=== Cases ===
Udmurt has fifteen cases: eight grammatical cases and seven locative cases.

There is no congruency between adjectives and nouns in neutral Udmurt noun phrases; in other words, there is no adjective declension as in the inessive noun phrase {{lang|udm|бадӟ'''ым''' гурт'''ын'''}} ("in a big village"; cf. Finnish inessive phrase ''{{lang|fi|iso'''ssa''' kylä'''ssä'''}}'', in which ''{{lang|fi|iso}}'' "large" is inflected according to the head noun).

=== Plural ===
There are two types of nominal plurals in Udmurt. One is the plural for nouns ''-{{lang|udm|ос}}/-{{lang|udm|ëс}}'' and the other is the plural for adjectives ''-{{lang|udm|эсь}}/-{{lang|udm|есь}}''.

==== Nominal plural ====
The noun is always in plural. In attributive plural phrases, the adjective is not required to be in the plural:
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Attributive plural
!Udmurt
!Transliteration
!English
|-
|{{lang|udm|чебер(есь) ''нылъ'''ёс'''''|italic=unset}}
|ćeber(eś) ''nyl'''jos'''''
|(the) beautiful ''girls''
|}
The plural marker always comes before other endings (i.e. cases and possessive suffixes) in the morphological structure of plural nominal.

|{{lang|udm|ныл'''ъёс'''лы}}
|nyl'''jos'''ly
|to the girls
|-
|{{lang|udm|гурт'''ъёс'''азы}}
|gurt'''jos'''azy
|to/in their villages
|}

==== Predicative plural ====
As in [[Social:Hungarian language|Hungarian]] and [[Social:Mordvinic languages|Mordvinic languages]], if the subject is plural, the adjective is always plural when it functions as the sentence's predicative:
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Attributive plural
!Udmurt
!Transliteration
!English
|-
|{{lang|udm|нылъёс ''чебер'''есь'''''|italic=unset}}
|nyljos ''ćeber'''eś'''''
|the girls are ''beautiful''
|-
|{{lang|udm|толъёс ''куз'''есь'''''|italic=unset}}
|toljos ''kuź'''eś'''''
|the winters are ''long''
|}
Udmurt pronouns are inflected much in the same way that their referent nouns are. However, personal pronouns are only inflected in the grammatical cases and cannot be inflected in the locative cases.

=== Pronouns ===
==== Personal pronouns ====
Udmurt personal pronouns are used to refer to human beings only. However, the third person singular can be referred to as ''it''. The nominative case of personal pronouns are listed in the following table:
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Personal pronouns
! 
! singular
! plural
|-
! 1st person
|{{lang|udm|мон}} {{IPA|/mon/}}
|{{lang|udm|ми}} {{IPA|/mi/}}
|-

|{{lang|udm|тӥ}} {{IPA|/ti/}}
|-
! 3rd person
|{{lang|udm|со}} {{IPA|/so/}}
|{{lang|udm|соос}} {{IPA|/soːs/}}
|}

More details:
*There are self-intensifier forms: ачим '[I] myself', ачид '[you] yourself', ачиз '[he/she/it] himself', асьмеос '[we] ourselves', асьтэос '[you] yourself', асьсэос '[they] yourself'.<ref name=asm>[http://udman.ru/ru/press-center/nauka-lyudyam/k-probleme-kategorii-inklyuzivnosti-mestoimeniy-v-udmurtskom-yazyke/ К проблеме категории инклюзивности местоимений в удмуртском языке]</ref>

*The 1st person plural has two worms according to clusivity: асьмеос is "inclusive we" and "ми" is "exclusive we". The younger speakers seem to favor always using "ми" (probably under the influence of Russian 'my' for "we"), so that  for older generation the verse from a popular song "Ойдо, нылаш ми тонэн пумиськом!" sounds strange: its intended meaning is "Hey girl, let us meet!", while in the traditional thinking it reads "Hey girl, let we all meet with you!" The expected proper phrase would be: "Ойдо, нылаш асьмеос пумиськом!" and 'ми тонэн' is a [[Social:Calque|calque]] from the Russian phrase 'my s toboi' meaning "me and you", but the word-by-word translation is "we with you".<ref name=asm/>

==== Interrogative pronouns ====
Udmurt interrogative pronouns inflect in all cases. However, the inanimate interrogative pronouns 'what' in the locative cases have the base form ''{{lang|udm|кыт}}-''. The nominative case of interrogative pronouns are listed in the following table:

=== Verbs ===
Udmurt verbs are divided into two [[Social:Grammatical conjugation|conjugation]] groups, both having the infinitive marker ''{{lang|udm|-ны}}''.

There are three verbal moods in Udmurt: indicative, [[Conditional mood|conditional]] and imperative. There is also an optative mood used in certain dialects. The indicative mood has four tenses: present, future, and two past tenses. In addition there are four past tense structures which include auxiliary verbs. Verbs are negated by use of an auxiliary negative verb that conjugates with personal endings.

The basic verbal personal markers in Udmurt are (with some exceptions):

=== Syntax ===
Udmurt is an SOV language.

==Lexicon==
Depending on the style, about 10 to 30 percent of the Udmurt lexicon consists of [[Social:Loanword|loanword]]s.  Many loanwords are from the [[Social:Tatar language|Tatar language]], which has also strongly influenced Udmurt phonology and syntax.
