Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the terms used to denote Udmurt aerophones in different local traditions. An etymological analysis of the names of musical instruments demonstrates that some of them are Permic in origin (as a rule, in the ­Northern Udmurt tradition) while the rest derive from Turkic languages (in the tradition of southern Udmurts, including the speakers of peripheral dialects, and of the Besermyans).
