The Mordovian language is a member of the Uralic language family, primarily spoken in the Republic of Mordovia in Russia. It consists of two main dialects: Erzya and Moksha, each with its own unique characteristics and cultural significance. These languages are used by the Mordvins, an ethnic group native to the region. Mordovian languages are recognized as minority languages in Russia and have been influenced by neighboring languages such as Russian. Efforts are being made to preserve and promote these languages through education and media, ensuring that the rich cultural heritage of the Mordvins continues to thrive.
