"The language has lost its foothold in the families and is no longer used cross-generationally or intra-generationally… The domains in which Veps is used are very few and are usually restricted to the private spheres of life. Furthermore, children are no longer encouraged by their parents to use Veps. Parents might not consider learning Veps important, especially since knowledge of the minority language does not entail benefits or advantages in, for example, the labour market."

Ortografia

“Similarly to the first standard, the present literary standard is primarily based on the Central Veps dialects and written in Latin orthography. The choice of the Latin alphabet is somewhat problematic, as it makes the Veps literary language alien to especially those fluent elderly speakers, who are literate only in Cyrillic script.”

DESCRIÇÃO DA LOCALIDADE: The present-day habitat of the Veps is between the lakes of Ladoga, Äänisjärv (Онега) and Valgjärv (Белое озеро), where they live in three separate groups. The first, the Äänis- or Northern group is situated in Karelia, near Äänisjärv, to the south of Petroskoi. The Äänis-Veps call themselves lüdinik or lüdilainen. The Central Veps, the most numerous group. live in the St. Petersburg region of the Russian Federation, on the River Oyat. The Southern Veps live in the eastern part of the St. Petersburg region, on the northwestern edge of the Vologda province, on the River Leedjõgi. The Southern and Central Veps have infrequent contact, and the Northern Veps are separated from them by the River Süväri (Свир) and the interpolation of Russian settlements.
