Editing Uralic languages (section)

===Early attestations===
The first plausible mention of a people speaking a Uralic language is in [[Tacitus]]'s ''[[Germania (book)|Germania]]'' ({{Circa|98 AD}}),<ref>{{Cite book | editor-last = Anderson | editor-first = J.G.C.  | title = Germania | publisher = Clarendon Press | location = Oxford | year = 1938 }}</ref> mentioning the ''[[Fenni]]'' (usually interpreted as referring to the [[Sámi people|Sámi]]) and two other possibly Uralic tribes living in the farthest reaches of Scandinavia. There are many possible earlier mentions, including the [[Iyrcae]] (perhaps related to Yugra) described by [[Herodotus]] living in what is now European Russia, and the [[Budini]], described by Herodotus as notably red-haired (a characteristic feature of the [[Udmurt people|Udmurts]]) and living in northeast Ukraine and/or adjacent parts of Russia. In the late 15th century, European scholars noted the resemblance of the names ''Hungaria'' and ''[[Yugra|Yugria]]'', the names of settlements east of the Ural. They assumed a connection but did not seek linguistic evidence.<ref name="Sebeok-2002">{{cite book |last=Sebeok |first=Thomas A. |title=Portrait Of Linguists |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9wxjDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA58 |date=15 August 2002 |publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing |isbn=978-1-4411-5874-1 |page=58 |oclc=956101732}}</ref>
