Bjarmaland was a territory mentioned in Norse sagas since the Viking Age and in geographical accounts until the 16th century. The term is usually seen to have referred to the southern shores of the White Sea and the basin of the Northern Dvina River as well as, presumably, some of the surrounding areas. Today, those territories comprise a part of the Arkhangelsk Oblast of Russia, as well as the Kola Peninsula.

Komi, also known as Zyran, Zyrian or Komi-Zyryan, is one of the two regional varieties of the pluricentric Komi language, the other regional variety being Permyak.
