Komi is a Permic language of the Uralic family, closely related to Udmurt. The two main standardised varieties are Komi-Zyrian, spoken in the Komi Republic of northern Russia, and Komi-Permyak, spoken in the Permyak area of the Perm region. Together they have around 160,000 speakers. Modern Komi is written in a Cyrillic alphabet that adds the letter і to distinguish certain vowel qualities.
Old Permic (Anbur) was the first alphabet created for the Komi people, devised in 1372 by the missionary Saint Stephen of Perm. With 24 letters loosely modelled on Greek and Cyrillic, it was used to translate religious texts and survived into the 17th century before being replaced by Cyrillic. Komi grammar uses 16 noun cases, SOV word order, no grammatical gender, and rich derivational morphology.
