Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈkoʊmi/

Proper noun

Komi

1. A Finno-Ugric language currently spoken by 200,000 to 400,000 people, depending on source and definition of "speaker", in northeastern European part of Russia.
2. A republic of Russia. Official name: Komi Republic.
3. A region of Russia.

Usage notes

The ISO 639-3 regards Komi (language code kom) as a macrolanguage consisting of two closely related main variants, Komi-Zyrian (kpv) and Komi-Permyak (koi). Komi-Zyrian is an official language in the Komi Republic along with Russian. The Komi-Permyak is mainly spoken in Komi-Permyak Okrug, which does not belong to Komi Republic. The terminology is somewhat confusing as there's cross-usage between Komi, Zyrian and Komi-Zyrian. There are other variants among which at least Komi-Yazva is recognized as language by some sources (not by ISO 639 as of Apr. 2014).
