The Mokshas (also Mokshans, Moksha people; Moksha: Мокшет/Mokšet) comprise a Mordvinian ethnic group belonging to the Volgaic branch of the Finno-Ugric peoples.[6] They live in Russia, mostly near the Volga and Moksha rivers,[7] a tributary of the Oka River.
Their native language is Mokshan, one of the two surviving members of the Mordvinic branch of the Uralic language family. According to a 1994 Russian census, 49% of the autochthonal Finnic population in Mordovia identified themselves as Mokshas, totaling more than 180,000 people.[8] Most Mokshas belong to the Russian Orthodox Church; other religions practised by Mokshas include Lutheranism[9] and paganism.
