Russian dialects


Russian dialects are spoken variants of the Russian language.

All the Russian dialects are divided in two principal chronological and geographic groups:

1. Northern Russian

2. Central Russian

3. Southern Russian

Russian dialects usually preserve many archaic words and forms which dropped out of use or were replaced with Church Slavonic counterparts. In North Russian there are about 200 words of Uralic origin.
