Everything about The Ingrian Language totally explained
The
Ingrian language (also called
Izhorian) is a
Finno-Ugric language spoken by the (mainly
orthodox)
Izhorians of
Ingria. It has approximately 327 speakers left, most of whom are aging. It shouldn't be confused with the Southeastern dialects of the
Finnish language that became the majority language of Ingria in the 17th century with the influx of
Lutheran Finnish immigrants (whose descendants,
Ingrian Finns, are often referred to as Ingerians). The immigration of Lutheran Finns was promoted by Swedish authorities (who gained the area in 1617 from Russia), as the local population was (and remained) orthodox.
