The Veps. Finno-Ugric People Of Karelia

Veps is a nationality representing the Finnish language group of the Ural family and referring to itself as Karelian branches. The closest relatives of this language are Karelian, Finnish and Izhorian.

Please consider using subtitles instead of dubbing. As someone who speaks Finnish I would have loved to hear them speak their language.

Great documentary. I really hope that the Veps retain their culture and revive their language.

Veps is a most archaic form of finnic tribes languages🇫🇮 Problem is how to get veps to be used by young ones when education and kindergartens are not provided in veps🤔Even mass is in russian and just small part in special events in veps.

Vepsian is a really cool sounding language and it is even more understandable to me, a Finn, than Estonian, although Finnish and Estonian sound more like each other. I guess many foreigners couldn't tell the difference between Finnish and Estonian because we both lack the Slavic sounds in our languages, but Vepsian, on the other hand, has some clear sound and word loans from Russian.
If I hear someone speaking Vepsian, I can often understand everything, but if I hear Estonian, I usually understand only something from here and there.

[heh]

I'm Finnish and kinda annoyed as this language is literally just finnish with a heavy russian accent, damn I wish slavs never conquered the north and let us uralic people be uninfluenced.

Magyar here. Please rerealese this with only English subtitle. We wanna hear the Veps talking!

[garycooper]

English narration ruins the video. We want to hear the Vepsian language

[leopoldlodewijkfilipsmaria]

They aren't "people of russia". They are people of Vepsia. Greetings from Finland.

"By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory." Indeed, "God with us, the hope of glory!"

Praise Him for identifying Himself with us, so that He might raise us to sit--together with Him--next to our Father in Heaven!

A great video thats shedding light to my brother peoples decline. I'm immensly happy that at least some effort is made in restoring the language! These kinds of videos are so important and are a huge step forwards. I'm so disgusted of the soviet union that destroyed so much all because of a flawed ideology. Never the less I wan't to thank you very much! Kiitos! Eläköön Suomalais-Ukrilaiset kansat! 🇪🇪❤🇫🇮❤🇭🇺❤(rest of the family😊)

Fascinating stories around the world!!

That "bending tool" we call in Finnish viikate. My father had one and I saw him sharpening it just the same way. But the handle was a little longer.

[tudormiller]

So The Sami People aren't the only indigenous communities in Europe ? 😮

[johankarlsson]

Very few speakers of fenno ugric language lack russian accent. Sadly the soviet culture has destroyed much of the old culture and language of ethnic minorities.

[TeijaLehto]

I am Finnish. I love to hear Vepsian language. I hope you don't do any dubbing on the original languages in your future videos.

This is fascinating. I am English, but when researching my family history, I found I was descended from Rognvald, a Norse warrior, born probably in the 990s in Norway, who was made Lord of Ladoga as a reward for escorting the Norwegian Princess Ingrid Ada to Kyev to marry Prince Yaroslav. Rognvald acted with great honour, as he was in love with the Princess himself, but he married the Lady Ingoborg, which may have been her lady in waiting, and raised a family in Ladoga. His third son, Broese went to Normandy, built a castle at a place which became known as Brix, became Christian and took the name Robert. He came to England as captain of the gaurd to Queen Emma, the Norman mother of King Edward the Confessor. He had 2 sons. The eldest Robert de Brus went to Scotland when the exiled Prince David became King there, and was the 8th great grandfather of Robert the Bruce who became King of Scotland. His younger brother Adam settled on the East Coast of Yorkshire in England, and remained loyal to the English King, changing his name from de Brus to Skelton, after the name of the village he was Lord of. I am descended from this branch of the family.
