- Abstract
- This dataset shows where Permic languages were spoken in the beginning of 20th century. These areas are represented by polygons (vector data). Permic branch is one of the main 7 branches of Uralic language family. Each branch has its own dataset and all datasets are part of the Uralic typological database. It was created as a part of the Kipot ja kielet [Beakers and Speakers] project launched by the Department of Biology at the University of Turku. Data was collected during years 2018-2020. Spatial extent of this dataset is in Russia, on the west side of Ural mountain.

- Purpose
- This dataset was created as a part of Kipot ja kielet project in order to set a proper background for next research (genetics, history, ...) and to answer the need for structured data on Uralic languages. Target group are universities, linguists and other scientists and researchers. There is also a map interface which is suitable for everyone.

- Supplemental Information
- Geographic coordinate system: WGS84, EPSG: 4326. Creation date is estimated, because it is not known. Only the period of time during which the dataset was being created is mentioned (years 2018-2020).
- Data Quality
- The data was collected and digitized from multiple sources, mostly from studies, literature and maps of permic language areas in books. The data set includes tradiotional and current speaker areas, because the distribution and size of the speaker areas have changed between older and more present-day sources, which is why they are both included. Opinions on the accuracy of the digitized areas has been asked from linguistic professionals. However, since the data strictly follows the source data (physical maps made by the original authors dating back to late 19th century), there may be unknown inaccuracies. The data set was created by scanning the physical maps and then georeferencing them and creating the polygons with GIS software. There are some slight topological errors in the data, which however do not interfere with the interpretation of the data.
