How can the largest country in the world have practically no regional difference in their spoken language?
In the British Isles the accent can change literally just a few kilometers down the road.
It's crazy to me that an old and vast country like Russia has no change in accent, whether you're from Vladivostok or Murmansk.
My geography teacher told me it's because of Soviet policy + internal immigration.
probably because most of the country wasn't russian speaking until the early 20th century when all non-russians go genocided
this
Didn't stalin supposedly have a thick accent from wherever the fuck he was from?
Georgia,bc his first language wasn't even Indo-European
Here you also have a different accent 10 km down the road.
Because Dutch evolved from different local Germanic languages (some of which still somewhat exist today).
Maybe Russian had a different evolutionary path.
Regional dialects of Russian - Ukrainian and Belarusian.
Centralization? Doesn't happen the same with the French?
Most of Russia didn't speak Russia until very recently.
The Soviets were cultural Nazis, destroying every old dialect in favor of the prestige dialect.
Kind of like the US
Iirc, Ukraine was the original Russia
So really, you're a Ukrainian dialect
it's true. our accents are very homogeneous.
the only time we have a distinct accent is when another nation speaks russian, i.e a Ukrainian or georgian speaking russian.
perhaps we will develop some new accents in the future. I always liked how in usa even within a city their can be different accents
Apparently, there are some regional differences in pronunciation
Okan'je [ˈgorot] - Akan'je [ˈgorət]
[g] [zʌˈgo̞n] - [ɦ] [[zʌˈɦo̞n]
Yes, but we do have some regional accents too.
Rus was an ethnic name of group of people
they settle in Novgorod at first
than conquered Kiev and maked it their metropoly than placed capital in Moscow
Kievan state existed before it was conquered and adopted name of KIevan Rus in 18 century history works as name of period for state-centric history reasons
It`s not true. In national republics inside of Russia accents differ a lot.
>I always liked how in usa even within a city their can be different accents
We have that in Holland too. If anything, the us has way fewer dialects/accents per unit of area than most old world countries.
Old city states. Russia hadnt this stage.
>they settle in Novgorod at first
Yes
>than conquered Kiev and maked it their metropoly
Yes
> than placed capital in Moscow
No.
Muscovites conquered every other Rus' state after it dissolved.
>war inside one family
>Muscovites conquered
>implying family wasn't shattered to pieces
It's almost like your average Russian family, but with weapons.
>slav shits arguing about shit no one cares about
t.state-centric butthurt
