}}The Komi-Yazva language (коми-ёдз көл, komi-jodz kål) is a Permic language closely related to Komi-Zyrian and Permyak, native to and spoken mostly in Krasnovishersky District of Perm Krai in Russia, in the basin of the Yazva (Yodz) River. It has no official status. It is the most divergent of all the Komi varieties.{{Cite book |last=Comrie |first=Bernard |title=The languages of the Soviet Union |date=1981 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-29877-3 |series=Cambridge language surveys |location=Cambridge [Eng.] ; New York}} About two thousand speakers densely live in Krasnovishersky District.

Studies

Availability{{Clarify|date=July 2012}} of the particular vowels together with features of phonetics and stress system led Finnish linguist Arvid Genetz in 1889 to consider Komi-Yazva as a separate dialect. Later, this decision was confirmed by the famous Finno-Ugricist Vasily Lytkin, who studied the Komi-Yazva idiom in depth from 1949 until 1953. Some researchers consider it to be a dialect of the Komi-Permyak language.{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28635260 |title=I︠A︡zyki mira.

Geographical distribution

In the early 1960s, about 2,000 speakers lived compactly on the territory of Krasnovishersky District of Perm Krai (Antipinskaya, Parshakovskaya, Bychinskaya and Verkh-Yazvinskaya village administrations). In total, there were about 3,000 language-speakers.{{Cite book|last=Vasily Lytkin|title=The Komi-Yazvin dialect|publisher=Academy of Sciences of the USSR Publishing House|year=1961}}
