    The regards Komi' (language code '''kom''') as a macrolanguage consisting of two closely related main variants, Komi-Zyrian ('''kpv''') and Komi-Permyak (' koi ). Komi-Zyrian is an official language in the Komi Republic along with Russian. The Komi-Permyak is mainly spoken in (Komi-Permyak Okrug), which does not belong to Komi Republic. The terminology is somewhat confusing as there's cross-usage between Komi, Zyrian and Komi-Zyrian. There are other variants among which at least Komi-Yodzyak is recognized as language by some sources (not by ISO 639 as of Apr 2014).
