It is a predominantly fusional language which has various polysynthetic tendencies.

From there the language had spread throughout all of the Ingrian region by Late Antiquity and into northwestern Russia and southern Finland by the Early Middle Ages, peaking in the 12th century then entering gradual decline ever since. This language and its entire Germanic branch were entirely forgotten until archaeological evidence was first found northwest of Lake Onega during the 1930's and surviving speakers were first found in 1989 west of Ukhta, Russia.
