Notes

eedit
  1. Ootside Finland, the term Finnic leids haes tradeetionally been uised as a synonym o the extensive group o Finno-Permic leids, includin the Baltic Finnic, Volga Finnic, Permic an Saami leids.[2][3] At the same time, Finnish scholars hae restrictit it tae the Baltic Finnic leids;[4] the survey volume The Uralic Languages uises the Laitinate spellin Fennic tae distinguish this Baltic Finnic (Balto-Fennic) uise frae the broader Wastren sense o the wird.[5] In 2009, the 16t edeetion o Ethnologue: Languages of the World abandoned the Finno-Permic clade awthegither an adoptit the nomenclatur o Finnish scholars.[6]
