Votic is a
Finnic language spoken in the region of Ingria (Kingisepp area of St. Petersburg). It is considered an offshot of Estonian. Due to assimilation by the Russians, in fact very few people (15?) speak this language: the youngest person who can speak Votic was born in 1930.

There is no standard writing system for Votic, although there are various Latin and Cyrillic transliterations. The language has never been used in education, children being taught in Ingrian until 1930 and later in Russian.

Votic is an
agglutinative language with a fifteen-case noun declension system.
