The Ingrian language (also called Izhorian) is a Finno-Ugric language spoken by the (mainly orthodox) Izhorians of Ingria. It has approximately 300 speakers, most of whom are aging. It should not be confused with the Karelian dialect of the Finnish language that became the majority language of Ingria in the 17th century with the influx of Lutheran Finnish immigrants.
