Vasilyev V. To the Question of Relationships between the Northern Russian and the Language of Village of Russkoye Ustye in the North-East of Yakutia NRD, Volume 16. 2017 , 63–75
Abstract

The article examines the intersections between traditional dialect in the village of Russkoye Ustye (at the mouth of the river Indigirka, North-Eastern Yakutia), spoken by a subethnic group of Russian population, and the Northern Russian. Listed phonetic and morphological features prove the great resemblance of the Russkoust'inskij dialect with the Pomor dialectal group. Analysis of lexical areals (letters А and Б) not only detects many similarities with the language of Archangel Pomors, but also reveals in the Russkoust'inskij dialect a lot of local lexico-semantic innovations and borrowings from neighboring Siberian languages. In addition, article briefly outlined the main ways of the Russian colonization of Siberia in the medieval time.
