The Moksha language ( mokšəń käĺ) is a member of the Mordvinic branch of the Uralic languages with around 130,000 native speakers. Moksha is the majority language in the western part of Mordovia. Its closest relative is the Erzya language, with which it is not mutually intelligible. Moksha is also considered to be closely related to the extinct Meshcherian and Muromian languages.
