Komi (obsolete: Komi-Zyrians) live in Komi Republic , Murmansk Oblast , Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District , and Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District of Russia . Their Northermost subgroup is also known as the Komi-Izhemtsy (from the name of the river Izhma ) or Iz'vataz. This group is distinct for its more traditional, strongly subsistance based economy which includes reindeer husbandry.

Komi-Permyaks live in Perm Krai ( Komi-Yazvas group) and Kirov Oblast ( Upper-Kama Komi group) of Russia.

Both alphabet, sometimes called Abur, introduced by Saint Stephen Of Perm in the 14th century.

They may have been much more widespread in the past. Scandinavians knew of prosperous Permyaks ( Bjarmians ) who were settled in the area of modern Arkhangelsk .
