Ingrian dialects (Finnish: Inkerin suomalaismurteet) are the Finnish dialects spoken by Ingrian Finns around Ingria in Russia. Today, the Ingrian dialects are still spoken in Russia, Finland and Sweden.[1] In 2010 there were only 20 300 Ingrian Finns left in Russia.[2] The Ingrian dialects are gradually dying out, as primarily elderly people speak them still,[3] and unlike Standard Finnish, the dialects are not taught in schools.[4]
