Muromian is an extinct Uralic[1] language formerly spoken by the Muromian tribe, in what is today the Murom region in Russia.
[2] They are mentioned by Jordanes as Mordens and in the Primary Chronicle.
[5] The Muromian language[6] is unattested, but is assumed to have been Uralic, and has frequently been placed in the Volga-Finnic category.
[7][8][9] A. K. Matveyev identified the toponymic area upon Lower Oka and Lower Klyazma, which corresponds with Muroma.
[10] A few words have been reconstructed in the Muroma language, based on toponyms, such as: *juga 'river', *vi̮ksa ‘river connecting two bodies of water', and *voht(V) ‘neck of land between two bodies of water’.
