The subject of the study is the ethno-demographic and linguistic problems of the Finno-Ugric peoples in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The object of the study is the Udmurts of Bashkortostan. The methodological basis of the study is the historical and chronological method, which allows revealing the processes in the diachronic section based on the study of data of the all-Union and all-Russian population censuses. It is noted that according to the all-Union population census of 1926, the share of the Udmurt population in the Republic was 0.9 %. At the same time, 95.8 % of them recognized the language of their nationality as their native language, which was one of the highest rates among the Finno-Ugric peoples of the Republic. The analysis of ethno-demographic and linguistic development of the Udmurt population from 1887 to 2010 showed that there is a process of gradual reduction of the Udmurt population and the share of recognition of the language of their ethnic group as their native language not only in Bashkortostan, but also in the Russian Federation as a whole.
