Vote
Beren jatorrizko izen etnikoa
Vadjalain da (pluralez, Vadjalaizõt). Vote herria
eta beren hizkuntza (Finlandieraren ahaidea)
desagertzekotan dira: 1989an 62 Vote geratzen ziren, erdiak
soilik hiztunak, eta gazteena 1930an jaioa (Luuditsa eta Kukkusi bezalako herrietan).
Ekialdeko dialektoa, Itsipinokoa, hilda dago jada.
1926tik 1956an aginte sobietarrak erabat deuseztu zituen:
beren populazioa %90 gutxitu zen Ingrian. Geratzen
direnek beren nortasuna ezkutatu dute, eta haiekin bizi
diren Errusiarrek halako herri bat esistitzen denik ere
ez dakite.

Votic
Their own ethnic name is Vadjalain
(pl. Vadjalaizõt). The Vote speak a Finnic
language (Votic, Votian) close to extinction.
In 1989 there were
still 62 persons left, half of them spoke their native
language (in towns like Luuditsa
and Kukkusi); the
youngest of them was born in 1930.
The Eastern dialect of Itsipino is already dead.
Under Soviet rule,
population diminished by 90% between 1926 and 1959. Since
then, the Votes have, as far as possible, concealed their
Votic identity, pretending to be Russian in the
predominantly Russian environment. The Russians who live
in the Votic villages are totally unaware that such
people even exist.
