'''Komi''' ({{langx|kv|коми кыв|komi kyv|label=none}}, {{IPA|kv|komi kɨv|IPA|audio=Kv-komi kyv.wav}}), also known as '''Zyran''', '''Zyrian''' or '''Komi-Zyryan''' ({{langx|kpv|зыран коми кыв|zyran komi kyv|label=none}}),<ref name="britannica">{{cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Komi-language |title=Komi language |encyclopedia=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]] }}.</ref> is the native language of the [[Komi peoples|Komi]] (Zyrians). It is one of the [[Permian languages]]; the other regional varieties are [[Komi-Permyak language|Komi-Permyak]],{{sfn|Riese|2015|pages=249–250}} which has official status, and [[Komi-Yazva language|Komi-Yazva]].

Komi is spoken in the [[Komi Republic]] and other parts of [[Russia]] such as [[Nenets Autonomous Okrug|Nenetsia]] and [[Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug|Yamalia]]. There were 285,000 speakers in 1994, which decreased to 160,000 in 2010.

It was formerly written in the [[Old Permic script]] created by [[Stephen of Perm]] for liturgical purposes in the 14th century, though very few texts exist in this script. The [[Cyrillic script]] was introduced by Russian missionaries in the 17th century, replacing it. A tradition of secular works of literature in the modern form of the language dates back to the 19th century.
