'''Ormå'''(/ormo/, ''ormå | '''Ormå'''(/ormo/, ''ormå pippi''; <small>Ormå:</small> [[Help:IPA|[ormɔ ˈpi.ppi]]]) 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. | ||
