Cheremiss: High...
"Cheremiss, or Mari, is spoken by about 500,000 people in the
Mari Autonomous SSR (Capital, Yoshkar-Ola) of the Soviet
Union.   This region of farms and forests was under Khazar con-
trol as early as the 8th century, and was subsequently dominated
by the Bolgars, then the Mongols, and finally by the Russians in
1552.   Two dialects of Cheremiss are distinguished, the Upper or
Hill usage, spoken in the high area south of the Volga River, and
the Lower or Forest Cheremiss, spoken north of the Volga.
Cheremiss is a Uralian language, grouped with Mordvin in the
East Finnic branch.
