Budinos is a constructed language designed to be an international auxiliary language for speakers of Finno-Ugric languages. Budinos builds mainly on Udmurt language and Hungarian but also has features from Finnish language, Estonian, Mari language, and other related languages.
Budinos originates in an initiative from ethnofuturism in Udmurtia from the perspective that foreign languages are insufficient to fully communicate the Finno-Ugric world view in full, according to ethnofuturist thinking. The language has been employed in artistic usage both in Udmurtia and in Estonia.
The name 'Budinos' originates in Herodotus' Histories which, according to one of the authors of the language, Yuri Perevoshchikov, describes a pastoral tribe named 'the Budins' by the river Don.Ville Ropponen (ed.): Volga-antologia. Turku 2010.
