The 'Finno-Permic languages' form one of the main branches of the Uralic languages.
The Uralic languages family tree has three main groups, Finno-Permic, Ugric, and Samoyedic languages.
In some references the term ''Finnic'' is used to refer to the Finno-Permic languages, but this usage is regarded incorrect by Finno-Ugric specialists; the term ''Finnic'' is commonly used of the Baltic-Finnic languages.^[1]
In the past, Finno-Permic together with Ugric was thought to constitute a separate Finno-Ugric group of families, separating it out from the languages of Siberia and Northern Mongolia, but the Ugric node is increasingly seen to be as
distinct as the other two.
