Dialect - what is it?

Dialect is a type of language that is used as a way of communication between individuals. Mandatory condition: these people must live in the same territory. The Russian language means both literary speech and a huge number of local dialects. It is necessary to clearly understand this.

Urban and rural dialects, the most famous group of dialects

Local dialects, distributed in large settlements, are a certain interaction between literary speech and rural dialects. This unites them. Rural dialects, depending on the differences and similarities that can be traced between them, are collected in a category of a certain volume. There are several most common groups of Russian dialects: Central Russian, South Russian, and also North Russian. All of them deserve attention. There is one more definition of dialects. Which one? Dialects are words that are common in a certain geographical area. People who speak a literary language, many of them may seem rather ridiculous.

Northern Russian dialects

The North Russian category of dialects contains dialects of Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Vyatka, Ural, Olonets, Vologda. Also here are Siberia, Middle and Upper Volga.

As for pronunciation, the northern Russian dialects have the following two qualities. 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 the south, the situation is similar. But there is still a slight dependence between the pronunciation of vowels and stress. But back to the northern dialect. On this property of pronunciation, based on "okanie," in other words, there is a noticeable difference between the letters "a" and "o " when they are not stressed. Thus, dialect words sound very unusual and interesting. Secondly, in the dialects considered softness or hardness of consonants, standing on both sides of the vowel, greatly affects its quality. This is an important point.

Substitution of vowel sounds

In many native northern dialects, instead of the vowel sound "a" behind the soft consonant, "e" is pronounced. Thus, they say, for example: "sword", "fetish", "zet". It is easy to guess from what words it is formed. In literary language it would sound like "ball", "again", "son-in-law". Dialect is an unusual talk 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 numerals are pronounced "the fifth." There are many such examples. Also there are dialects (for example, they come from Vologda and Olonets), in which the vowels "and" and "e" are replaced, for example, "faith is about vira," hay is about blue, bread is a " It is interesting, is not it? As for consonant sounds, the most typical sign of the northern dialect is primarily a very distinct "g", similar to "g" in Western European and Latin languages. Also for this dialect is characterized by "clinking" and "okanie", in other words, the absence of differences between the letters "h" and "c". The dialect is truly amazing.

South Russian dialects

South Russian dialects are common in the Lower Volga region, Tula, Orel, Voronezh, Kaluga, Kursk, the southern Ryazan region, on the Don. The most typical signs of this adverb are as follows. In pronunciation, the quality of a vowel sound is determined by whether it is stressed or not. A very curious fact. This principle is based on Akane. This is the absence of differences between the vowel sounds "a" and "o", which are in an unstressed position. Also worthy of attention is the "yakanya". Some dialects say "bida", "wisna", in some - "beside", "viasna", in others - "bida", "visna", but "gadgets", "viasna". There are still dialects, where "beside", "viasna", but "bidet", "visna" etc. are spoken. Dialect is an adverb, unusual for the majority of Russians.

Characteristic features of this dialect

The next remarkable phonetic feature of South Russian dialects is fricative (long) "g", in other words - a sound very similar to "x", but pronounced enough sonorous, sonorous: "hara", "Horat" (mountain, city), etc. Can I say about the grammar of this dialect? It is noteworthy that in verbs that stand in the third person, after "t" a soft sign is put , for example, there is the word "go". It is also interesting that instead of "me" is pronounced "me." In addition, in this dialect there is no middle genus, so you can often hear phrases like "my rocker" or "tasty oils." It is still important to know that in the South Russian dialect at the moment there is almost no short form of the name of the adjective. But from this, this conversation did not become poorer. Many scientists are studying Russian dialects, examples of which you now know. Local adverbs really cause interest in people. Many people want to learn more about them to learn to better understand the speakers of dialects and immerse themselves in their culture.
