	GeoNative - Vepse
		Vepsian and Karelian are written in the Latin script.
		After half a century (about 1937-1987) of Russification and social oppression, the Vepsians are rebuilding their ethnic identity and cultural institutions.
		Nowadays there is spreading a new idea to unify ail the Vepsian areas into an autonomous district (there is resistance by Russian state and local authorities).

	Vepses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vepses or Vepsians are Finnic people that speak Veps language, which belongs to the Baltic-Finnic branch of Finno-ugric family.
		Out of the 281 Vepses of Ukraine, 11 speak Vepsian.

	III World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples
		From the very beginning one of the most important tasks of the Vepsian culture society was an ambition to catalogue the Vepsians in the list of small nations whose development is guaranteed by the estate support.
		It is important that we obtain, footing on the law, the extension of the rights of the Vepsian people for control of the use of the natural recourses in the territory Of their primordial residence.
		All the literature in the Vepsian language presented at the exhibition is published at the cost of different international funds and private persons and for the first time the Vepsian youth received a possibility of studying in Hungary and Estonia.

	The destiny of the Vepsian ...
		The obvious fact that the newly created Vepsian literal language is not that one spoken in the Vepsian villages (bearing in mind that Vepsian has preserved only rurally) is to explain by the present economical situation in Russia and it's autonomous republic of Carelia.
		Working there on their Vepsian books under a very scarce but governmentally granted support the scientists are supposed to provide a language of such a kind that would be surely understood by the Vepsians living in Carelia (Northern Vepsians).
		Even school teachers of Vepsian, according to N. Zaitseva's avowal, using textbooks on the lessions are forced to prounce words in their correct way while pointing to unexisting, thought-out forms on paper.

		That the number of Vepsians was not decreasing during the last fifty years is a weak consolation.
		All literature in the Vepsian language is published in Karelia, including Kodima, the Vepsian-Russian monthly available in all regions where Vepsians live; courses for teachers in Vepsian are regularly conducted; professional experts in Vepsian language like teachers, journalists and philologists are trained in Karelian higher educational institutions.
		We are grateful to Finno-Ugric states for their support to the Vepsian language and culture including the education of Vepsian students in Hungary and Estonia.

		The fourth dialect is Ludic which is similar to Vepsian, sometimes considered a separate language.
		The Vepsian lands were annexed to the Grand Principality of Muscovy in 1485.
		Then in 1937 the Soviets decided to assimilate the Vepsians, cultural activities were banned, schools were closed and teachers were imprisoned.

	63rd IFLA General Conference - Conference Programme and Proceedings - August 31- September 5, 1997
		Intensive explanatory work in which participated scholars, educators, librarians, journalists has resulted in full attendance of Vepsian lessons in the primary classes (first-fourth), irrespective of ethnic origin of the pupils and the fact that these lessons are officially optional.
		Certain difficulties are experienced with the teaching staff: either a teacher does not have a good possession of the Vepsian language, or she does not possess necessary teaching experience.
		As in the Vepsian National Region in Russia, an active role in native language teaching in Nordfriesland belongs to out-of-class work by elderly curators (grandmothers and grandfathers); as in the Vepsian National Region, to a great majority of children Frisian is the second functional language with standard German (Hoochdeutch) as the first.

	World congress on language policies
		In the 1930s, when the Soviet Union's language policy was very active and quite a number of peoples in the country were given a writing of their own, that process in Kare-lia was peculiar in many respects.
		It was close to one of the Karelian dialects only, and the Vepsians did not understand it at all.
		The Russian language is assigned the sole state language status with Karelian, Vepsian and Finnish acquiring a status of regional languages.

	NEWS IN BRIEF
		There are marked differences between the Vepsians and Setus who were Christianised by the Russian Orthodox Church, and Estonians who first belonged to the Roman Catholic Church and became Lutherans after the Reformation.
		Divine services for Vepsians were delivered in Russian which was not understandable for them; the Bible was not translated and most people were illiterate even by the time of World War I. Therefore, destruction of churches by the Soviet regime did not cause particular changes in the Vepsians' religious life.
		Thus, the proximity of the Vepsian fairy-tale repertoire to that of the Russians is quite natural, although concrete cases can be interpreted in different ways.

		The primary reason for administration in Karelia having been conducted in Russian (and, for some time, in Finnish from the 1920s) from the outset is that Karelian and Vepsian, the languages of the primordial inhabitants, were unwritten up to the 1920s—1930s or even longer, to the 90s of the 20th century.
		Priority was given to the use of Finnish in all walks of life, there was nothing done for the social and cultural development of the Karelians and Vepsians or for the creation of their literacy.
		This applies to the oikonyms — names of settlements — first of all, since, being names of birth-places and dwelling places for individuals and owing to their social significance, they occupy a special place in the hearts and souls of people, who cannot be indifferent to what names they are surrounded by.

	The Status as Indigenous Peoples in the Barents Region
		This memo has been prepared due to a request from The Regional Committee for General Education on the status of the Vepsians and the Karelians in the Barents Region as indigenous people.
		Vepsian and Karelian belong to the Finnic branch of the Uralic languages, a family of languages spoken in northwestern Eurasia.
		The Vepsians are unusual in this respect; for various reasons they were not given an autonomous area within the republic and the two oblasts where they lived, although they should have, according to the size of their population in the 1930's.

		Vepsian oikonymy is represented by names of settlement groups (for details see below), ends or parts of these groups, separate villages and farmsteads that do not belong to groups.
		There are a few Vepsian oikonyms, although in forms adapted to Russian, mentioned already in the earliest of the records made of the Vepsian territory in the 13th century.
		In the majority of Vepsian dialects the word külä refers not to one single village but a whole group of them, that is, a nest of settlements.

		More, AFAIR from our chatting with Jussi, there is for sure Votian and Vepsian, but rather no Ingrian.
		This supposition was already in contrary with Nassian existence; while they now occupy even less territory than it was in 2003 before Jussi corrected my extent of Slavic inhabitation of space around Two Big Lakes.
		I cannot withdraw with Nassians from Ingrian isthmus, as they were sent there by Jussi ;) -- Jan II.

		Rest of the folks came to the Baltic see and started to scatter around.
		Today we know those people as Finns, Estonians, Karelians(Karelia is an area between Finland&Russia, Russia took it from Finland after WWII), Ingrians, Livs and Vepsians.
		So Finno-Ugric languages, cultures and religions have absolutely nothing to do with other Scandinavian religions or with east Europian, Slavic religions.

		The proportions are different, and my shade of blue is slightly paler, so I hope no Vepsians will be bothered by the unintentional similarity.
