<b>Description:</b>

Udmurt (удмурт кыл, udmurt kyl) is a Finno-Permic language spoken by the Udmurts, natives of the Russian constituent republic of Udmurtia, where it is coofficial with the Russian language. It is written in the Cyrillic script with five additional characters. Together with Komi and Komi-Permyak languages, it constitutes the Permic grouping. Among outsiders, it has traditionally been referred to by its Russian name, Votyak. Udmurt has borrowed vocabulary from the neighboring languages Tatar and Russian.
The Udmurt alphabet is based on the Russian Cyrillic alphabet. From top to bottom: letters, their names (in Russian for Ӥ, Й, Ъ and Ь), and their pronunciation in IPA:
Four of these characters (Ӝ/ӝ, Ӟ/ӟ, Ӥ/ӥ, Ӵ/ӵ) are unique to the Udmurt alphabet.
The language does not distinguish between long and short vowels and does not have vowel harmony.
Udmurt is an agglutinating language. It uses affixes to explain possession, to specify the mode, the time, and so on.
There is no grammatical gender.
Some words can be used as nouns, adjectives, and adverbs without a change in form. For example, ӵилкит čilkit means "cleanliness", "clean", and "clearly".
There are 15 cases in the language. In the<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=1137924 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
