Livvi-Karelian[6] (Alternate names:Liygi,Livvi,Livvikovian,Olonets,Southern Olonetsian,Karelian;Russian:ливвиковское наречие,romanized: livvikovskoye narechiye)[6][7] is asupradialect ofKarelian, which is aFinnic language of theUralic family,[8] spoken byOlonets Karelians (self-appellationlivvi,livgilaizet), traditionally inhabiting the area betweenLadoga andOnega lakes, northward ofSvir River.
Tatiana Boiko speaks about the Livvi-Karelian dialect of the Karelian language and theVepKar corpus, with subtitles in English.KarRC RAS, 2018.
The name "Olonets Karelians" is derived from the territory inhabited,Olonets Krai, named after the town ofOlonets, named after theOlonka River.
BeforeWorld War II, Livvi-Karelian was spoken both inRussia and inFinland, in the easternmost part ofFinnish Karelia. After Finland was forced to cede large parts of Karelia to theUSSR after the war, the Finnish Livvi-Karelian population was resettled in Finland. Today there are still native speakers of Livvi-Karelian living scattered throughout Finland, but all areas in which Livvi-Karelian remains a community language are found in Russia.
Livvi-Karelian uses theLatin alphabet and has the following letters in itsalphabet, which is called theKarelian alphabet: Aa, Bb, Cc,Čč, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Oo, Pp, Rr, Ss,Šš, Zz,Žž, Tt, Uu, Vv, Yy,Ää,Öö.[11]
Until 2007, theü letter was a part of the Livvi-Karelian alphabet, which has been recommended by the Karelian language board to be instead be changed to the y letter.[12]
