Uralic languages
Distribution of the Uralic languages.
The Ugric group is a division of the Finno-Ugric branch of the Uralic languages family. It comprises the following languages:12
- Hungarian: The most demographically significant language in the Uralic family.13
- Ob-Ugric languages: A subgroup consisting of Mansi (formerly known as Vogul) and Khanty (formerly known as Ostyak).42
While Hungarian and the Ob-Ugric languages are considered the most geographically distant members of the Uralic family, they are linguistically related, with the Ob-Ugric languages being most closely linked to Hungarian.14
