Virjal or Viryal ( [vir] — upper, west and [yal] — village, community) is a subgroup of Chuvash people. Denomination "Virjal", i. e. upper, living upstream of Volga River, is opposed to Anatri ( [anat] — lower, east), i. e. Lower Chuvash, living downstream of Volga River.
==Origin== Some scientists suggest Upper Chuvash descend from Hill Maris, assimilated by Chuvashs. Anthropological analysis via mathematical simulation suggests Hill Maris and Upper Chuvashs are represented by the same anthropological type.
