Southern or Tavda Mansi is an extinct Uralic language spoken in Russia in the Sverdlovsk. It was recorded from an area isolated from the other Mansi varieties along the river Tavda. [4] Around 1900, about 200 speakers existed, but in the 1960s, it was spoken only by a few elderly speakers. [5] PIit has since then become extinct. It had strong Tatar lexical influence[ citation needed ] and displayed several archaisms such as vowel harmony, retention of /y/ (elsewhere merged with */æ/), /tsʲ/ (elsewhere deaffricated to /sʲ/), /æː/ (elsewhere fronted to /aː/ or diphthongized) and /ɑː/ (elsewhere raised to /oː/).[ citation needed ]

Russian researchers use the term "southern dialect" (Russian : южный диалект) to describe the Tavda language. [4]
