Siberian dialects

Siberian dialects (Russian: сибирские говоры, romanized: sibirskiye govory) are a group of Northern Russian dialects under the lexical influence of the Southern Russian dialects and foreign inclusions (primarily Turkic and sometimes Uralic). It has been spoken by Siberian old settlers: Siberiaks, Chaldons, Cossacks, Pokhodchans (Kolymchans), Russian Ustians (Indigirshchiks), and Markovites (Anadyrshchiks). From a phonetic and grammatical point of view, Siberian dialects genetically go back to Northern Russian dialects (such as Vologda and Veliky Ustyug dialects) and are characterized by okanye, clear pronunciation of vowels, plosive /g/, absence of /ɕː/ (replaced by long /ʂː/), dropping out vowels (which leads to changes in the adjective declension) and consonants, a variety of pluperfect forms, as well as frequent use of postpositive articles,, whose forms depend on the word's gender, number and declension ('мужик-от', 'самосад-отто', 'баба-та', 'руку-ту', 'сусиди-те'). Research notes the development of a written Siberian language that is gradually spreading among Siberians.
