Udmurts

Also known as Votyaks

The Udmurts are a Finno-Ugric people of the lands between the Vyatka and Kama rivers, most of whom live in the Udmurt Republic of Russia, with its capital at Izhevsk. They came under Volga Bulgaria and later the Khanate of Kazan, and most were absorbed into Russia after the fall of Kazan in 1552. Their Permic language is closely related to Komi.
