The term Uralic peoples is used to describe peoples speaking a Uralic language. Uralic peoples are divided into two groups: Finno-Ugric peoples (including Hungarians, Finns, and Estonians) and Samoyedic peoples (including Nenets).

Note that in any event the classification "Uralic" addresses matters of language, which do not necessarily correlate with divisions of ethnicity or even of specific culture^{[citation needed]}.
