Finno-Ugric peoples
The Finno-Ugric (Fenno-Ugric) peoples, also known as the Uralic peoples, are any of various ethnic groups who speak mostly Finno-Ugric or Uralic languages and live in Northern Europe, some regions of the north of the European part of Russia, Volga region, Western Siberia, and Eastern and Central Europe.[1][2] Some Finno-Ugric peoples are very different culturally and anthropologically, with the Finns, Hungarians and Samoyeds being ethnically distinct, but according to linguistic data[3] (partially confirmed by genetics and archeology) they share a common linguistic origin.
There are conferences and other events held by the World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples.[4] International Congress for Finno-Ugric Studies,[5]
