HOW MANY DIALECTS IN RUSSIA?

[titoman]

I live in Slovenia and here we have over 45 dialects, yes it is true. Country with only 20.000 square kilometers has over 45 dialects. How many dialects do you have in Russia, if you have any.


I will point out some dialects that are the most "wierd" one.



Literary:

Mi gremo tja, kjer bomo dobili hrano.



1.) Spoken in north-east:
Mi gremo taj, ko bomo dobil hrano.


2.) In Central Slovenia:
Mi gremo tj, k bomo dubl hrano.

3.) In south-west:
Mi hremo tja, ko bomo dobl hrano.


Literary:

Kako lahko imate toliko denarja v denarnici?

1.) North-east

Kak lahka mate tulk dnarja u denarnici?

2.) Central

Kako lahko maste tolk dnarja u denarnc?

3.) South-east

Kok lahk mate tolko dnarja v denarnici?



It is pretty messy, isn´t it. But that is not all of them, can you imagine 45.


In our country, there are some chinese students, well they can learn our language, but if we hear them, they sound pretty wierd, because they talk literary, but we natives do not. And when they go 100 km from place they study, they get troubles troubles in understanding, what people say.

Do you have any informations which country in the world has most dialects, because I think that Slovenia is really on top of it, or maybe I am mistaken.


Oh and the translation of both sentences:

1.) We go there, where we will get food.

2.) How can you have so much money?

There isn't big different between the spelling words in different sides of Russia. You won't see the difference. You can guess, that there isn't dialects in Russia at all.

Where did you get that? I doubt there are any dialects in Russia. There are some slight phonetic and vocabular differences in different parts of Russia, but they are insignificant. I guess there is some crossover between Russian and Ukranian in the areas that are close to Ukrain, but that's not a dialectal thing.

Another thing is -- how should we call it -- "occupational jargons", most notably the "new-Russian" prison slang which even I being a Russian find hard to understand in the most extreme cases.

You wright, Davlet. There is some slight phonetic differences, but there isn't any vocabular difference. The wrighting of words are the same. In Moscow you are, or in Vladivostok.

There are no dialects in Russia. Accents only.

There are still a lot of hard talks between the philologists to find the reason why.

Actually, Russia has no dialects since 1914, then Ukrainian and Belorussian languages were declared to be separate languages. Till that moment, both were deemed to be dialects of the Russian language.
