East Finnish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

East Finnish culture and dialect are chiefly vested in the Savonians and the Karelians. It is distinguished by considerably less of influence from Scandinavian and Finland-Swedish culture and language.

Migrants of the last half millennium to central and northern Scandinavia and to Ingria were mainly of East Finnish origin, which is why dialects and languages such as Meänkieli and Ingrian are closer to the East Finnish dialects.

Parts:

  • Savo Finnish. There are major differences between different Savo dialects. For example, North Savo has different personal pronouns from South Savo.
  • Karelian Finnish
  • Some dialects of the Karelian language spoken within the former borders (1920 peace) are sometimes classified as "border Karelian dialects" (Raja-Karjalan murteet).
