Abstract: This study focuses on the language situation in the Izhemsky District of the Komi Republic. The majority of the population of the district speaks a variety of Komi, which has been formed over several centuries of Komi presence in this remote area. The local communities display a diglossia of the standard variety of Komi and a local one. The third idiom that is present in the area is Russian. The article analyses of the coexistence of these three idioms in local communities.
