2. (in the singular) Estonian language
   • 1936, V. I. Junus, Iƶoran Keelen Grammatikka‎^[1], Leningrad: Riikin Ucebno-pedagogiceskoi Izdateljstva, page 3:

     Naapurikeeliin, suomen, viron ja vadjan keeliin kera iƶoran keeli ono siottu oman strukturan, fonettisen, äänisostavan, kautta, mut iƶoran keeleel ono suur yhtehös i karjalan keelen kera.

     The Ingrian language is related to its neighbouring languages, Finnish, Estonian and Votic, through [its] own structure, that of phonetics, the inventory of sounds, but the Ingrian language has a strong connection with the Karelian language, too.

Usage notes

• As with other plural ethnonyms, the meaning may be better translated as "the Estonian language" in the genitive and translative singular:

  Viron keeli. ― Estonian language.

  Lukkia viroks. ― To read Estonian.
