A dialect is a type of language that is used as a way of communication between individuals. Prerequisite: these people must live in the same territory. The Russian language means both literary speech and a huge number of local dialects. It must be clearly understood.
Urban and rural dialects, the most famous dialect groups
Local dialects, common in large settlements, represent a certain interaction between literary speech and rural dialects. It unites them. Rural dialects, depending on the differences and similarities that can be traced between them, are collected in the category of a certain volume. There are several most common groups of Russian dialects: Central Russian, South Russian, and North Russian. They all deserve attention. There is another definition of dialects. Which one? Dialects are words spoken in a specific geographic area. To people speaking a literary language, many of them may seem rather ridiculous.
North Russian dialects
The North Russian category of dialects contains dialects of Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Vyatka, Urals, Olonets, Vologda. Also here include Siberia, the Middle and Upper Volga.
As for pronunciation, the following two qualities are inherent in northern Russian dialects. First, these dialects are notable for their vowels. It does not matter whether they are stressed or not, this does not affect their pronunciation in any way. In the south, the situation is similar. But there is still a slight correlation between the pronunciation of vowels and stress. But back to the northern dialect. On this property of pronunciation is based “okane”, in other words, a noticeable difference between the letters “a” and “o ” , when they are not under stress. Thus, dialect words sound very unusual and interesting. Secondly, in the dialects under consideration, the softness or hardness of the consonants, standing on both sides of the vowel, is very reflected in its quality. This is an important point.
Substitution of vowels
In many Russian northern dialects, instead of the vowel sound "a", which stands behind the soft consonant, pronounced "e". Thus, they say, for example: "sword", "sing", "Z." It is easy to guess what words it is formed from. In literary language, this would sound like a "ball", "again", "son-in-law". A dialect is an unusual dialect that often makes you smile. You can also use the word "dream" as an example. However, the adjective formed from it sounds like "dirty." In addition, there is the word “sing,” but the numeral is pronounced “fifth.” There are many such examples. There are also dialects (for example, originally from Vologda and Olonets), in which the vowels “and” and “e” are replaced, for example, “faith is about vir”, “hay is about blue”, “bread is a loaf” and others. Interesting, is not it? As for the consonants, the most typical sign of the northern dialect is primarily a very distinct "g", similar to the "g" in Western European and Latin. Also for this dialect is characterized by "clinking" and "dipping", in other words, the absence of differences between the letters "h" and "c". The dialect is truly amazing.
South Russian dialects
Southern Russian dialects are widespread in the Lower Volga, Tula, Orel, Voronezh, Kaluga, Kursk, the southern region of Ryazan, on the Don. The most typical signs of such an adverb are as follows. In pronunciation, the quality of the vowel sound is determined by whether it is under stress or not. A very curious fact. "Akane" is based on this principle. This is the absence of differences between the vowel sounds "a" and "o", which are in unstressed position. Also noteworthy is the "yak". Some dialects say "bida", "visna", in some - "byada", "clear", in others - "bida", "visna", however, "byades", "clear." There are still dialects where pronounce "byada", "clear", but "bidet", "visn" and others. Dialect is an adverb unusual to the hearing of most of the inhabitants of Russia.
Characteristic features of this dialect
The next remarkable phonetic sign of the South Russian dialects is the fricative (continuous) “g”, in other words, a sound very similar to “x”, but pronounced quite loudly, loudly: “hara”, “horat” (mountain, city), etc. What can we say about the grammar of this dialect? It is noteworthy in that in the verbs that are in third parties, a soft sign is placed after "t" , for example, there is the word "go". It is also interesting that instead of "me" is pronounced "mene". In addition, there is no middle gender in this dialect, so you can often hear phrases like “my rocker” or “tasty butter”. It is also important to know that in the South Russian dialect at the moment, the short form of the name of the adjective is almost completely absent. But from this, this talk did not become poorer. Many scholars study Russian dialects, examples of which you now know. Local dialects really cause interest among people. Many people want to learn more about them in order to learn to better understand dialect speakers and immerse themselves in their culture.
