Ormå(/ormo/, ormå píppi; Ormå: [ormɑ̃ píʔ̯pi]) is a language spoken by the Ormå people of the southern areas of the tundras of Ulmis. It is an Umic language, so it is related to the languages of Umį and Pailä. The Umic languages themselves are a sub-branch of the Ulmic languages, which includes Pêrsir and Zadję.
It is a fusional SOV language that, like all other Ulmic languages, heavily features nasalised vowels, though Ormå has a nasalised vowel unique to itself that other Ulmic languages do not have, namely the nasalised open back unrounded vowel, [ɑ̃]. The sound is represented as ⟨å⟩, a letter unique to Ormå.
