The Erzyas (also Erzyans, Erzya people'''''; ; ) are a Finno-Ugric ethnic group. Their native language is Erzya. They are closely related to but distinct from Mokshas, and together they are often called Mordvin peoples, especially by outsiders.
== Demographics == According to the 2010 Russian census, 744,237 identified as Mordvin, of whom 57,008 specified Erzya ethnicity. Erzya are believed to form about two-thirds of the Mordvin population; however, low self-identification as Erzya is attributed to Soviet-era policies promoting a united Mordvin identity, with many Erzya culturally identifying under the broader label.
