IzhorianThe Izhorians (Inkeroine, Ižoralaine) can still be found in the western part of Ingria, between the Narva and Neva rivers. In 1989, 820 self-designated Izhorians, thereof 302 speakers of their Finnic language, were registered. The language, close to Karelian, is used primarily by members of the older generation. It is bound for extinction. External links:
