SYRYENIANS (also Sirianian, Syrjenian, Zyrenian, Zirianian, Zyrian and Zirian)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 317 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SYRYENIANS (also Sirianian, Syrjenian, Zyrenian, Zirianian, Zyrian and Zirian) , a tribe belonging to the Permian division of the eastern Finns. They are said to number about 85,000 on the west side of the Urals in the governments of
Perm
 , Vologda and Archangel, and there are also about r000 on the Siberian side of the
lower
  Ob. Their headquarters are at Ust-Ishma, at the junction of the Ishma and
Pechora
 . Formerly they spread farther to the west. They are of moderate stature, blond, and
grey
 -eyed, and more energetic and inclined to
trade
  than most of the allied tribes. They were converted to Christianity about 1350 and their language was reduced to writing. They
call
  themselves Komi and are not sharply distinguished from the tribes known as Permian, the
languages
  being mutually intelligible. The archaeological remains in the governments of
Perm
  and Vatyka called Chudish by Russians are probably Syryenian. A
grammar
  of the language was published by Castren, and linguistic and other notices of the tribe are contained in the
Journal
  de la societe finno-ougrienne, especially for 1903. (See FINNO-UGRIAN.)
