The Mari language, spoken by nearly 500,000 people, belongs to the Uralic language family. It is spoken primarily in the Mari Republic of the Russian Federation as well as in the area along the Vyatka river basin and eastwards to the Urals. Mari speakers, known as the Mari are found also in the Tatarstan, Udmurtia, and Perm regions. Mari today has a unified standard form with two variants (Hill and Meadow AKA Western and Eastern, with the Eastern variant prevailing in everyday usage), using a modified version of Cyrillic script, and is the titular and official language of its republic, alongside Russian. The use of two variants, as opposed to two languages, has been hotly debated: Maris recognize the unity of the ethnic group, and the two forms are very close, but distinct enough to cause some problems with communication.
