Your wifes in Old believer true orthodox Christian from Oregon, Washington state???

Facts.

It nearing the end of summer at that time, it felt close to what I am used to in Ukraine!

SC roads are nothing compared to post-soviet countries whose infrastructures have not been re-invested into!

I am from South Carolina, USA!

I have another video or two on our Nikolaevsk trip that may cover this question.

Well, actually, I wouldn't say that she has a distinct accent. Her Russian is pretty good, actually. I mean, she sounds like a more or less educated Russian city resident. The thing is that in Russia, there are distinct Northern and Southern dialects. In the North, they put stress on "o" everywhere. In the South, it's basically the same as the South-Eastern Ukraine dialect. They have no difference to Russophone Ukrainians (all of the South-East is Russophone), they pronounce the "g" sound differently and say "sh" instead of "ch". Both sounds sound redneckish and funny to an average Russian speaker. Latin American Old Believers have a distinct accent. They use ancient words together with Russified words that they borrowed from local languages, Portuguese, and Spanish. Another thing is that their language is often portrayed as the old Rus, unchanged pristine form that the ancestors of Russians, Belorussians, and Ukrainians used to speak, but it's not entirely true. Their language is also changing with time, but due to separation from standard Russian for centuries and skipping many reforms, it becomes more distant. The interesting thing is that linguistically, you can trace their land of origin through the words that they borrowed. Very often, it is either Russian North or modern-day Ukraine. To sum it up, in this part of the video the woman speaks indistinguishably from a modern Russian speaker. Most Old Believers, however, have some Russian dialect that people used to speak in Northern Russia or Ukraine in the 16th-17th century with borrowed words from Siberia and local languages of the country where they live, mostly Spanish or Portuguese.

@@gay4138 thank you so much for taking the time to write all of that and explaining it so well.

Its not like they were hidden there since the end of the 1700s guy come on now

@@joelandrew9688 it doesn't matter. Living in your own area as a district community usually leads to some kind of change. Even if its for a short period of time.

Hahaha thats funny

You are too kind!

@@thetravelinghat you're welcome

We are speaking Russian. I understand enough Ukrainian to get by and can speak it a little!

If only I could be like B&B......maybe one day!

The people that live in that village came to Alaska in the '70's from Oregon. By now, pretty sure no one that lives in the village was even born in Russia.

​@@perofish🤬🤬🤬

It is historically Russian. The "Russian Old Believer's" world is slowing dying out but lots of things there are certainly more "Russian" than they are "American".

@@thetravelinghat god bless you
