Budinos originates in an initiative from ethnofuturists 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.[1]
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.[2]
