Ingrian and Votic villages at the beginning of the 21st century[2][3]
Ingrian (inkeroin keeliSoikkola[ˈiŋɡ̊e̞roi̯ŋˈke̝ːlʲi]), also called Izhorian (ižoran keeliSoikkola[ˈiʒ̥o̞rɑŋˈke̝ːlʲi]Ala-Laukaa[ˈiʒo̞rəŋˈkeːlʲ]), is a Finnic language spoken by the (mainly Orthodox) Izhorians of Ingria. It has approximately 70 native speakers left, all of whom are elderly.[4][5]
The Ingrian language should be distinguished from the Ingrian dialect of the Finnish language, which became the majority language of Ingria in the 17th century with the influx of Lutheran Finnish immigrants; their descendants, the Ingrian Finns, are often referred to as Ingrians. 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.
