[edit] Votian dialects

[edit] Classification

  • Votic
    • Eastern
      • Kabrio (Russian: Копорья)
      • Itšäpäivä (Russian: Ицепино), Mahu (Russian: Подмошье), Iivanaisi (Russian: Ивановское), Kliimettina (Russian: Климетино), Kozlova (Russian: Козлово)
    • Western
      • Hill: Kattila (Russian: Котлы), Pummala (Russian: Пумалица), Lempola (Russian: Лемполово), Pihlaala (Russian: Пиллово), Kikeritsa ~ Tšitširitsa (Russian: Кикерицы), Kerstova ~ Kõrstõva (Russian: Керстово), Rudja (Russian: Рудилово)
      • Valley: Mati (Маттия), Kõrvõttula (Russian: Корвитино), Undova (Russian: Ундово), Savvokkala (Russian: Савикино), Jarvikoištšülä (Russian: Бабино), Muukkova (Russian: Мукково), Velikkä (Russian: Великино)
      • Pontizõõ (Russian: Понтилово)
      • Vaipooli
        • Luuditsa ~ Luutsa (Russian: Лужицы), Liivtšülä (Russian: Пески), Rajo (Russian: Межники)
        • Jõgõperä (Russian: Кроколье)
    • Kreevin (Latvian: Kreeviš ~ Krievinsh ('a Russian'), hence Russian: кревинг) dialect was still alive in 1846 near Bauska (German: Marienland or Bauske) in Latvian Zemgale, noted by the academician A. Sjögren. In the 1440s the knight Heidenreich Vinke von Overberg deported Votic war prisoners - their ancestors to Courland [1].
  • Kukkuzi (Russian: Куровицы) dialect is traditionally classified as Votic under strong Ingrian influence, but T-R. Viitsoo opposed this claim as a linguistic nonsense. We might talk about Votic substratum here instead and also in other Ingrian dialects of lower Laugaz valley (Russian: Усть-Луга): Kotko (Орлы), Mannakka (Манновка), Teesuu (Извоз), Haavikko (Кейкино) etc. and less obviously in surroundings of river Rosona (Russian: Росона). [2] [3].

Following dialects of Estonia share distinctive features with Votic and might have been originally closer to Votic than to Estonian dialects. [4] [5]:

  • Alutaguse dialects spoken in Lüganuse, Jõhvi, (northern and central) Iisaku and (western and central) Vaivara parishes [6] .
    • The most characteristic of them was the speech of Lüganuse parish.
  • Vaiga or East-Estonian dialects spoken in Kodavere, Maarja-Magdaleena, Torma, (eastern) Laiuse, (south-eastern) Iisaku and (eastern) Palamuse parishes [7].
    • The most characteristic was the speech of Kodavere and north-eastern Maarja-Magdaleena parishes.

Votic substratum is found also in Finnish dialects of Western-Ingria e.g. Lutheran parts of Kattila (Russian: Котлы) and Novoselkka, Kurgolovo (Russian: Курголово) - Suakyla (Russian: Дубровка). There are some remarques about extinct Finnic dialect of Gdov (Russian: Гдов) area - Dobrychinskaya (Russian: Добручинская) municipality.

(The distribution of Votic villages in this classification needs further confirmation.)
