Olonets Karelian language

Olonets Karelian language

Olonets Karelian (East Karelian, Livvi) is the variety of Karelian language spoken by Olonets Karelians, traditionally inhabiting the area between Ladoga and Onega lakes, northward of Svir River. The name is relevant to the Olonka River. Before World War II, Olonets Karelian was spoken both in Russia and in Finland, in the easternmost part of Finnish Karelia. After Finland was forced to cede large parts of Karelia to the USSR after the war, the Finnish Olonets Karelian population was resettled in Finland. Today there are still native speakers of Olonets Karelian living scattered throughout Finland, but all areas in which Olonets Karelian remain a community language are found in Russia.

Olonets Karelian long remained relatively uninfluenced by the Russian language despite the influx of Russians following the founding of Saint Petersburg in 1703.
