The Merya language was the Finno-Ugric language spoken by the Merya tribe, which lived in what is today the Moscow region. Next to nothing is known about the language, but it was probably related to the other Finno-Ugric languages of the region. Meryan probably became extinct in the Middle ages, as the Meryas were assimilated by the Slavs. Traces of the language can be found in place names.
