The Erzyas (also Erzyans', Erzya people; Erzya: эрзят, romanized: erzat; Russian: эрзяне, romanized: erzyane) are a Mordvinian Finno-Ugric ethnic group. Their native language is Erzya. They are closely related to but distinct from Mokshas, and together they are often called Mordvin peoples, especially by outsiders.[2][3]
