Anatri ( [anat] — lower, east) — a part of Chuvash people. Denomination "Anatri", i. e. lower, living downstream of Volga River, is opposed to Virjal or Viryal ( [vir] — upper, west and [yal] — village, community), i. e. Upper Chuvash, living upstream of Volga River.
Ethnographers distinguish 3 subgroups: northern (between the Anish and Uryum rivers); underwood (подлесная in Russian) or western (between the rivers of Bolshaya Bula and Karla); southern or steppe (khirti in Chuvash) (interfluve of Kubnya and Karla)
