The name of the village is traditionally derived from the name of the goddess. This is the former. Poškoniai, Jurgelioniai, Pagaujény (Šarkaičiai) and Dievėniškiai neighborhoods of Ašmena district, now Eišiškių district, forming a kind of promontory in the southeastern corner of the Republic of Lithuania. The most Lithuanian villages are located in the middle of this promontory, on both sides of the Gauja river: Valatkiskés, Kmelnifikai, Padvarės, Poškonys, Siaurimai, Lastaūčikai, Didžiūliai, Grybiškės, Rimasiai, Stalgonys, Bėčionys, Kaziūliai, Šaltiniai, Skraičionys, Dievėniškės, Verseka. A little further on both sides of the Gauja river there are still quite Lithuanian villages: Senieji Miežionys, Žižmai, Mačiūčiai, Šiudainys, Ramėoškos, Milkūnai and others. In the peripheral villages (e.g., Pavydonys, Skaivonys, Siliai, Pagaujėnai, Dvariškės, Kalviai, Pliustai, Zabiėliškės, etc.) the language is mostly mixed: Lithuanian and the local Belarusian dialect, which is strongly established on the eastern side of the promontory (e.g., Vaškėliai, Vaišūtkiemis, Vėžakiemis, Daulėnai, Antaniškės). In some villages, only the elderly or the oldest inhabitants have spoken Lithuanian from a young age. The young people now attending Polish schools, or the older generation who attended them in the past, also speak Polish, but Polish is not the native language of anyone here. At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, Lithuanian was spoken not only in the area of Dieveniškiai, but also in Surviliškiai, Kauleliškiai and Geranainiai villages in the territory of present-- day Belarus. in the northern part, about Armoniškes, almost entirely Varenavas, in Rodūnios districts and in Ievos district about Lazunai'. !

The situation remained almost unchanged throughout the first quarter of the 20th century. The Lithuanian and Polish press of the time bears witness to the use of Lithuanian in the counties of Ašmena, Lyda, etc.2 Earlier data, from about the third quarter of the 19th century, on the limits of the use of Lithuanian in the counties of Ašmena and Lyda at that time are only approximate, inaccurate, often contradictory and therefore not all reliable. Nevertheless, they reflect, at least in part, the ethnographic boundaries of Lithuanians at that time* and at the same time the complex shifts that took place at that time, when people’s national consciousness began to form. The ethnographic atlas* compiled by Erkert in 1863 perhaps best illustrates the spread of the Lithuanian language and its relationship with other languages. However, Erkert’s ethnographic boundary with the percentage of Lithuanians does not always accurately indicate the places where Lithuanian was still spoken at that time. In this respect, the ethnographical border of Lithuanians drawn by A. Koreva in 1861, although also inaccurate, has certain advantages.’ It runs to the east from Graužiškiai, Klevyčia, Norviliškiai (Ašmena district), but to the north from Geranainiai, Kauleliškiai (Varnava district), Žirmūnai (Lyda district) and leaves Lazūnai far in the southeast. Lazūnai is not included in the 1865 publication of the Archeogralia Commission? Ms. "The 100-year-old bridge crosses the river from south to southwest". From the schematic atlas published in 1851 by P. Kepen8 it is difficult to say how far to the southeast from Dieveniskiy the border of Lithuanian language use passes. 2 See. J.

The knowledge of other ethnographers and even linguists, who have touched the ethnographic borders of Lithuanians in the southeast, is even less accurate, A. Kirkoras? A. Ritichas!® and even J. Karlovičius"! with F. Kuršaitis'? not only Lazūnai and Žirmūnai, but also Dieveniškiai and Norviliškiai, outside the Lithuanian ethnographic area. Much more accurate data on the use of Lithuanian was collected in 1867—1880 by J. Kuznetsov, a member of the Russian Geographical Society, who was preparing to compile an accurate ethnographic map of Lithuania. His indicated places of residence, where most people still spoke Lithuanian, are Surviliškiai, Geranainis, Žirmūnai. Only a large Lithuanian island around Lazūnai, Bokštai, Jurotiškiai, Dūdai and Lygomovičiai no longer communicated with the Lithuanian Geranainiai, Dieveniškiai neighborhoods! '*, in the first half of the 19th century Lithuanian was spoken even more widely. The historian M. Balinskis, a good knower of this region, together with T. Lipinskis, indicates that Lithuanian is spoken in the western part of Ašmena district in Graužiškiai, Velbutus, Klevyčia, Norviliškiai, Surviliškiai, Dieveniškiai, Geranainis, Lipniškiai, in the Bokštų parish, in Trobų parish, in Takoriškės, in the whole of Įvijos parish and in Lazūnai'*. That at that time from Dieveniškiai, Geranainiai to Įvijos, and thus to Lazūnai, Lithuanian was still spoken, is confirmed by the questionnaire filled out in 1827 in the survey of the parishes of the Vilnius Diocese about the use of Lithuanian language. Thus, the present Dieveniškiai (Lithuanian dialect area) promontory, reminiscent of a peninsula, is part of a much larger Lithuanian ethnographic area'®. There are people who speak or can speak Lithuanian to this day in Lazūnai, in many villages of Varenavo (Balatna) district and especially in Rodūnios district." $ 2. The dialect of Dieveniškiai attracted the attention of linguists relatively long ago, both because of its geographical location and because of its rare linguistic features. As early as 1886 9 A.

A well-known linguist and ethnographer, then still a private lecturer at St. Petersburg University, E. Volter, had come to study this dialect. During the same expedition he collected material in the vicinity of Zietela, Lazūnai and Benekainiai. At the instigation of E. Volteris, G. Ausiukas (Avsiuk), the teacher of the elementary school in Dieveniškiai, wrote down and sent to him in St. Petersburg the following year several Lithuanian dialect texts (songs, riddles, etc.). The material collected during these two trips — characteristic features of the Ašmena (i.e. Lazūnai and Dieveniškiai) dialect, a series of texts (song, tale, as well as a dozen riddles) and a dictionary of rarer words — he published in 1895!® However, in the eyes of today, the texts written by E. Voltaire have many shortcomings: words and jy forms are presented unpronounced, in addition, sometimes incorrectly spelled, the length of vowels is not marked, the vowels e, ė and sometimes uo and 0 are not distinguished, and the hardening of consonants is inconsistently reflected. Therefore, the material of E. Voltaire now has significance only for history and comparison. Around 1906 K. Būga visited the area of Dieveniškiai. He used the written material extensively in various of his writings, but there is no separate raSes'® about this dialect. The material he collected, although scarce, is very valuable because it meets all the requirements of dialectology today in terms of accuracy of writing. A comparatively good collection of texts in the Dieveniškiai dialect with commentaries has been published by the Estonian linguist P. Aruma, who collected material about 1928—1929.2° His work remains the most important and widely available source on the Dieveniškiai dialect. However, the work of P. Arumas does not give a fuller picture of this very interesting dialect. E. Frenkelis used the material of the Dieveniškiai dialect relatively extensively in 1936 when he wrote about the Lithuanian dialects of the Vilnius region at that time*?!. He was mostly based on the material collected by others, and he himself, it seems, has not been in the area of this dialect. Lithuanian linguists could only begin a more thorough study of this dialect in the years of Soviet rule. In 1952 and 1964, dialectological expeditions organized by the Lithuanian Language and Literature Institute came to study this dialect. In addition, almost every year, individual linguists and local historians of the republic visit here. 8 E.

The material on which this article is based is mainly collected during the 1964 expedition- ?? from the above (see $ 1) villages. Individual sentences and forms were also recorded in Dailidžių, Paginų, Jokūbiškių, Ureliy (Urlionių), Jurgelionių, Pajurgelionių, Medinių, Pūlkių, Šarkaičių, Gedūnų, Šiurkščių, Prabaščiškių, Rūdnia and other villages. Phonetic features Vocalism $ 3. It is a part of the Dzukian dialect area and separates the western and eastern Dzukian dialects. On the western side of the promontory up to the eastern border of Dieveniškiai district the mixed diphthongs am, an, em, en are pronounced in two ways: near brunkt@lis®®, kumpas, lūngas, runka, grindzi'mas, pinkolika, peč'a difikscis, Zintas is often said and branktélis, langas, lankas, lanka, ranka, pėmpė, penktas, žėntas etc. ir O The word vandūo next to vanduo present tense forms ainanc’, ir važ'ūojanc' was not heard in any other pronunciation. It may seem that the forms with am, an, em, en here have been influenced by the literary language, since in earlier dialectological maps the border between western and eastern Dzūki is drawn further west?*. Probably, the limit specified, based on ši E. Voltaire's material, because In the introduction to the description of the Ašmena dialect he noted that Dieveniškių ir The dialects of Benekainiai neighborhoods, not differing in anything, were ir further described only Dieveniškių ir "Lazūnų dialektų faktus?s". Kad In the Dieveniškiai area these diphthongs are pronounced twice, as K. Buga’s material from the beginning of the 20th century shows, e.g.: duiikstsjo, inkūndo, lūngu“, pūntsis, ūntsis, pinki, bet grambuolis, dntsis, ranka, vandenjo®. ir E. Voltaire's printed texts consistently find forms only su i, u+m, shows n the jj material collected mainly iš from the eastern part of the Dieveniškiai dialect area, i.e. The villages of Norviliškiai neighborhood, where the old local inhabitants do not speak the above mentioned doubles any other way??. Thus, the border separating the western Dzūki from the eastern must be carried through Delicious. § 4. The diphthongs uo, ie are pronounced very incorrectly: dioda, klu'nina, justa, ritšėlis, Svi'su, važūc' greta kluonas, pienas, važiūoja. Ši # Individual facts taken iš J. Dovydaitis's 1951—1952 m. folklore collections in the Folklore Sector of the ir Lithuanian Language and Literature Institute. # The transcription of the “Programme for the collection of material for the Lithuanian language atlas” (II ed., Vilnius, 1956, pp. 105—118) is used. The length of accentuated vowels is not indicated anywhere, their length is indicated by a prefix. The length of unpronounced vowels is indicated only by a, e, i, u. # See. ‘Archives Philologicum", t. 4, Kaunas, 1933; Lithuanian spelling dictionary, Kaunas, 1948, p. 123; but plg. J. Sukys, Characteristic features of the Ramaškoniai dialect, „Lietuvių kalbotyros klausimai“, t. 3, 1960, p. 178—179. % See E. Volter, min. veik., p. 177. % The name of the village of Antaniškiai in the vicinity of an Norviliškiai probably retained the diphthong due to the influence of Slavic languages, plg. Polish Antoniszki, Belarusian Aurauumku, because even ir In the area of Dieveniškiai more common local names are um, un, e.g. : su Kumpas "The k. Field of Giants", Lunkos ir Lankos "Valatkiškik. ai meadows", Undriškė "Carpenk. ter's ir Meadow" etc. 187
This dialectal feature is not new, as it has been noted by both E. Voltaire (cf. jusliali josiou 186, vušvialio dvaran 187) and K. Būga (mike, snike’, klūnina, vūlakcis, migūstas greta miegakulis "lazy, sleepy", Traktosnan, važ'uūoc- ?"). Examples of such monophonicization of these diphthongs occur elsewhere, especially on the outskirts of the western Dzūkų dialect in the Belarusian SSR, for example, about Ramaškonis, Bilius, Bieliūnas, Lietuvą (Varnava district), Plikius, Sklodonis, Paditvį, Pelesą, Kargaudus, Kivonis (Rodonija district), Azierkus, Pervalka (Grodno district). In exceptionally clear ie, uo consonance, all these dialects are perhaps surpassed only by the Lithuanian dialect of Zietela, which does not have the characteristics of Dzūkijos. § 5. Some dialects sometimes pronounce a forward middle-order i, similar to the backward i (but different from the Belarusian 841), instead of the vowel u, e.g.: azgiedojo, Jlieživi', nivedė "wed", panitekėjo "married- ", pasikorisi "complimented", siko "swung", siksū "swing" sisukė "swing", sivėdė suede". § 6. Other vocalistic features of the Dieveniškiai dialect are known in the wider area of the Dzūkian and Eastern Altai dialects in general, e.g. : a) The nasal g, ¢ and the abbreviated terminals a, e (derived from an, en) are pronounced uw, í', u, i, e.g.: galusc’, ižgūzdzino, ku-sneldicis, tūsosi, tisc’, kati, pifk'u'; su biti, marc'ū, pūodi. b) Instead of the beginning of the word e, a is pronounced, e.g.: aina, apuš'ė arzino, ažeru', až'a, ažis. c) The accentuated vowel e, regardless of the syllable or consonant that follows it, becomes very broad, e.g.: gi'vénc’, kėl’as, ma@dz’- as „forstas“, nepad@gi ciltėlis. This feature has been noted and marked (only in different characters) by all previous scholars of that dialect: E. Volteris (atkialk 183, v'aidu 183, žirgialis 184), K. Būga (Bandlis 26, tūkis 26) and P. Aruma (parn’d ski 19, sd'nas 19, tū'kants' 20, viadl'o 21). d) The accentuated vowel ė is sometimes slightly doubled, e.g.: g'éré sekm'ė "story", tur'ėjiūu. As far as we have noticed, this is the case for bilingual or trilingual people not only in Dieveniškiai, but also in other Lithuanian dialects. e) The first syllable of a diphthong with a strong and unpronounced vowel, u, is usually strongly assimilated by the second syllable, and is pronounced with an o, e.g.: dardū, daūūge! ', he said. f) The first syllable of pronounced mixed diphthongs i, u-+!/, m, n, r is always elongated, e.g.: girtas, pile, kale, pile, žinda. $ 7. The unpronounced long vowels i, u, ė, o are abbreviated very differently and incorrectly. The same person in the same word pronounces them once less abbreviated, almost long or semi-long, and the second time almost short. Thus, both the root and the limb are not cut7 See. K. Būga, min. veik., p. 26; in P. Arumos texts this feature is not recorded. ?8 This feature of linguists is recorded in the Lithuanian dialect of Zietela and about Asava (Varnava district), cf. O. Broch, Zum Litauischen siidlich von Vilna, „Nors Tidskriit for Sprogvidenskap“, t. 19, 1960, p. 1—71. 188
pronunciation of long vowels. Vowels ė, o shortening ir in the root does not change its quality (e.g.: tévalis, ābols), in o the limb they are much wider, instead jų of hearing a, 0, e (e.g.: gane, p'jove, būva, sako). Such an uneven quality of ir unpronounced root é, 0 endings would indicate that the word end was shortened here earlier than the root. There are elongated pronounced short a, e, i, u, ones, e.g. mask, nėšvietė, pūsekdu, buvo, visi. § 8. I. There are many examples where a short vowel is dropped (syncope), e.g.: break < beetroot, ketr'as <keturias, meridlis< mendelis „guba“, nedarnėjo<nedarinėjo, priemn'ė "a belt"? ?. Especially often does not have a i vowel return particle, e.g.: ažuslaidė "landed", noiseless "I didn't succeed," he said, "it changes," "I'm going," "I'm going," "I'm going." Su with uncast vowels are still words afitaras “second”, semi-fitter, late “devil”. 2. There are fewer words with su contracted vowels, syllables, e.g.: dvatas< dviejas, praeitinis "past", pada<pagada "clear", forgot< paažmirso "forgot" "approached", ir kajo<nudjo et al. 3. Su jplugged-- vowel-written-dusara ‘dawn’. The word falakd “talka” is probably a direct loan from the Belarusian iš language, cf. Tanaka. 4. It is a al diphthong, e.g.. : į Stdugéni-s ir "Stalgoni's, kduniér'us "collar"". Consonant $ 9. In the Dieveniškiai area both are preserved „dzūkavimo“ characteristics, according to which the Dzūkian dialect is distinguished. a) Instead of afrikaty č, dž (<tį, dj) the dz is pronounced ¢, consecutively, e.g.: audz'a, gaidz'o, plūc'os, svec'ū. Only in borrowed ar iš literary words is there a dž, e.g. pėč'us, medž'oc'. ¢, Afrikatoms c, dz appear in word forms bitf'u", rūagut'u: „hornų“, dud'dū, „audžiau“, ažūkintdu "I would hate", gaud'du, star'dū, perhaps, did not allow other forms of paradigms that do not have airikaty. i b) Adjectiv- ¢, d es alone ir with su consonant v before i, y, į, ie ir before fallen limbs are pronounced i, ie dz, cv, dzv, ¢, e.g.: atqardzinėja, ciesė "right", dzvilika, miėkci "sleep", Salikaici-, ci'lėc'. Only before i, į, 2000-2001 iš *en, remain ir unchanged in individual f, d borrowings, e.g.: biti, pūodi, su tinkūoc'. But sometimes it is said ci< ti",ten“ ci'nai "tenai", ir even c'ėvas 'father', vi'cel'a "Vvytelė". Due to the influence of the literary language, the aforementioned features of Dzūkian, especially the second, are disappearing relatively quickly. Therefore, it is more and more common to hear saying: ait', gant't", just(that). Iš in literary words consonants in airits f, d ¢, dz usually not translated: dirpt’, darbodienis. ® Ar this word has had a voice doubted, plg. e E. Fraenkel, Lithuanian etymological dictionary, Gottingen, 1955—1962, p. 653. 189
$ 10. As in the root of the word, so at the end of the word there is often a preserved j after the consonants p, v, e.g.: dujū,,aviy“®, davjaū, lapju-(sometimes also lapja „fox“), p'jov'du, pjūti', šlap'ja (see šlapijū runkū), šlap'joka. $ 11. The dialect is characterized by the hardening of some consonants. The prefix / is hardened not only before e, ė (cf. ažūlank'- au, klaba, Ididz'a, lūjo ~ lejo "poured- "; galėi, gulėjūu, kalbék, straublé "rainbow", veléc'), but also before i, in (<*en), e.g.: lifigvas, lintū, lintėl'u', pdrlindo, suslifikis "bending- ", state: "state, life", with Kaduli. The hardened r is often found before the front or the back vowels, e.g. apgrovi', karavom, (s)kragždė, krislas, neturū, rag'ū, pageréc', skraūnda "runs", tūrim. Other consonants are less commonly used in the hardened Šš, ž, cir, e.g.: nešoja, Saudzikles, šsaiva; rasižoc' "to get into the mouth", važiavo, pernei, Zuwréc krdca, traca, izdzūvo, minutéle, aršalis,,,- verSelis- ®. § 12. Instead of the borrowed ch, they pronounce k: koc "though- ", nekoi "I wish", sukatos "dry", cf. belarusian xoys, Hexditi, cyxomel. And from Belarusian or through Belarusian borrowed fricative g, pronounced as h (which Belarusians usually transcribe as y) usually translates to v (e.g.: avufkas "cucumber", lenc'u:vėlis "planciūgėlis", paprūva "saddle belt", pasévas "coat", plūvas "plough", vodzina "snake", plg. aeypok, ranyye, nanpijea, nacde, eadaika) or skip it altogether (e.g.: ciénas "gypsy", piearšč'as "nuts", samaonka "bush, homemade vodka", plg., Belarusian yoredr, npeizopoms, camazonka). § 13. Fats often interact with each other, assimilate: a) The first consonant assimilates the consonant that follows it, e.g.: minkštimas, mūščis, gloščinės, raštuotas „koštuvas- “. b) There are more examples where the second consonant assimilates the first, e.g.: am pėč'aus; nuringdzinėja „(nu)renka- “. As a result of assimilation, the first consonant often disappears altogether, e.g.: adaré "opened", adavė "gave", apile "filled", avertė "turned over", avilk "cover", asnigo<aZsnigo,uzsnigo". $ 14. People of some villages in the Dieveniškiai area (Grybiškiai, Bėčioniai, Skraičioniai, Kaziuliai, Valatkiškiai, etc.) (some more often, others less often) translate the consonants £, d, before ė, e, i, y to R, g, e.g., d>g: bung@le "bunch", apgeda,apdeda", dzigelis "big", dugénc' "dudenti, talk", gėgė "uncle", girgėjo "heard", gigikis "doctor", girvos "soil", prageda "beginning- ", pavargé "surname", vangen'o "water", ži'gėc'*1; t>k: bikinis "bit", dūkeris "daughter- ", ikeipo "so", kelūkas "little boy", k'ėvas "father", kindi "now", merg'oki' "girl", pasikifikma <pasitiikma "meets", pastakik "build", pdrverké "turned over". 30 The form aujū is used much more widely by the western Dzūki, because, after av became au, | became necessary to avoid the hiatus., 31 The word degužė, which is used relatively widely in Lithuanian dialects, is distinguishable. 190 i
It is remarkable su that new, literary words are often pronounced ir with these iš substituted consonants, e.g.: gekinė „vodka“, pirmagienis "Monday", shit "today". Sometimes these consonants are pronounced so softly that it is difficult to f, d distinguiR, sh them from the g? ?. Other consonant changes occur only in individual words, e.g.: g>d: derklals ‘throat’; k>g: saw ‘followed (section)- ’; b>p: bunch “kimba”, hammers “blakės”, ir etc. $ 15. 1. Consonants are often added: before the ie at the beginning of a word, ė, i, e attached j (e. g. : hedgehog, hedgehog, hedgehog „hedgehog“, jilgas, jimc'), o before the beginning of the word uo, u — consonant v (e.g.: vuodega, vūodz'a "smell", viiogos, vūpė). In the first case, the word is pronounced as "s" or "z", for example: "svaigždė" (swallow), "zdairosi" (looks, looks at). The words uo ending in a diphthong are accompanied by a suffix, e.g. akmudi, j, sesudi, tešmuoi. 2. There are few cases of fat insertion.

Daryba. Individual dialect numerals differ in their construction from the corresponding numerals of the literary language, e.g. dū, dzvi; Bet betweens, between. Instead of aftar, -ū often used pronoun kitas, -a, e.g.: kiek mat? —kici ‘antri’; thirty other mint births. Other infinitive numerals are made mainly from quantitative numerals with the suffix -tas, ta, e.g.: pinki: piūktas, -a; seši: six, -a; sepcini: sepcifitas, -a; eight: aStdontas, -ū (more often aStuitas, a); ten: ten; yksitoista: eleventh, -a; dzvilika: twelfth, -a; pink’élika: pink’éliktas, -a; dzvideSims: dzvideHundreds. The numerals traktas next to trac'as and ketviftas are probably made from the plural, e.g. fraji, ketveri (with a change in the vowels of the suffix). The plural numerals "5—9" are usually made with the suffix -eli: penkeli, šešeli, sepci'neli, aštuoneli, devi'neli. The 4-pointer has only 4 possible values. With the suffix -eji (after hardened consonants -aji) are dveji, dvėjos, traji, trajos, cf. the consolidated forms of these numerals in the genitive of the singular: skirkis, Z@me, ingi dvėja, and tu, dungdū, ingi trūja. Coop numerals are usually made from plural or quantitative with suffix -(e)tas (sometimes -atas), e.g.: dveji: dvėtas (<dvejetas- ), traji: trajatu vaikū tari; four horses and eight cows; ; pinketu: the child lost (left). The fractional numerals with half include: pusantro, pusantaros, pusantarū, puspifiikto, puspinkiū and others. Other numerical derivatives have the meaning of adjectives, e.g. with suffixes -Okis, -oktas, zr. § 26. § 32. Change. The numerical nouns du, deux, as well as abudū, abidzvi, helped to preserve the binary forms of other parts of the language. The final vowel of these numerals is mostly used, e.g.: ingi du šimtū aniku: jad tur'ū; you're a shepherd's sheep; dzvi nightciirdzvi dieni danced, drank and guided; I'm a kid. The number of nouns with binominal endings, although with the numerals du, dzvi (or abudū, abidzvi), is much lower: dzvi dukti pamiré; 200 mg/ day 198
niau: do not know what didc’ abudū children; abidzvi dakteres penktani penktą (į klasę) aina. Numbers two, three are often abbreviated, e.g. in dzvičį bus namas; I'll go to three mountains next to two, three wives. Form three of a kind (o ne *three, cf. trijū), probably derived from dzviéi, cf. Two. In the masculine gender, the plural forms of various numerals usually have the ending -is, e.g. trejis, kėturis, penkis, septcinis, aštuonelis, devinelis. At the su end of the form -us rare: two aš years at veik’dd; jū Six as hundred stayed (I released). Next to unprepositioned plural inessive forms (dudz'a dzviejuosa daiktuosa; trijosa pirk'osa buvaū) are very often used in the prepositional form: to ani's išai dzviesa; the dsoul of tris gano's dick; all friends: pink’ uosa, Ses uosa Those past meanings, but of a different type, are consolidated forms: s@nei zvié d ju (for two) is; nor: with: the: three” Bina. The dialect is very typical of time ilactivo (both numerals and non-numeralir s) forms, e.g. givi: šeš'ėsna, sepcin’ésna vūrom ganevon „the cattle at six, seven (hours) genam to the pasture- “, cf. atvaž'dūų nedélon. Pronoun $ 33. Important non-verbal pronouns I, tu ir characteristics of the self of the recursive pronoun: I. The singular noun forms of non-verbal pronouns I, you are twofold: sakik, néra mani namiė greta in (on) your father's throat, o in (ant) my horn. There are also two forms of the recursive pronoun: diy nok savi; endures nok savi; medium's own dude. Instead of the literary forms your, our in the dialect are shorter: you, our, e.g.: or this you bicycle; oh, how you wear (hot) blini; c'a mis kiémas (village); o kdm didn't get us shepherds. Sometimes we are told, e.g. : ir tu ne We're being tu tortured, wolves. 2. I of non-memory pronouns, iu ir the forms of the singular recipient are mdn, tau, sdu. The plural of the noun has two forms. More su common forms of tu -mu, eg. : brown ma mu apseidis (prices) alekira; aš with joy you: I sang; no one will beat us; mamdité nepdsakoi; where ma mu mum is, mum is broken; less common su -mi: we will take all the troubles (losses) off you; I’ll make you a delicious dish; Kadu mu mi Miné Linus.

Most commonly, the plural ir form of the alif is used in the sense of adjective, e.g.: people must dude badly; you're in the woods, and we're in the roads; the country of origin of the MP; mu'sump visaipé people can (talk). There are other forms of this vowel, e.g., without -p: ca musum gudai (Belarusian) for the appliqué; be -m-: buvo atėji' musup, a ju sump nebuvo. The conjunction can also be in the root: strol!ū (strazdų) is mdsum|lm with m p. Sometimes the singular adesive is used, e.g.: buvo manimp susirinki; manimp ira žmon'ū; manip ira heart kvara (unhealthy); I'm in a bad mood (persons). In addition, the plural forms of the noun with -mu sometimes have a meaning close to that of the plural adjective, e.g., buvo viso mūm u. § 34. Instead of the literary pronouns he, she, they, in its dialect are usually used the noun forms dnas, ana, ani's (rarely an'es, ani), ūnos:ūnas ne tėp dimoja; ana is not afraid of anything; It's all happening. The feminine singular possessive forms have a different preposition than literary language: if I didn’t say anything- ’dd; don’t say anything to that girl. Male singular noun forms sometimes occur with -i: jami to c'a well; ani's and tami (tam) shipulukūs drož'a; but more often: jdm, tam. $ 35. Many demonstrative, indicative and relative pronouns still retain their nominative (or accentuated -ai) forms of nouns, e.g.: su kiom anasai važ'uos; a aniej ti' kur aZusturéi; o kuf ci i i ketėlei; and she gave birth to the same daughter; this and tusai (tasai)3® said; ti: icie® mis fields; kurisai represents a man's head; kur’éi itep sūkė; for Vil'ni: bana, ciemu well; This girl is very ranked. Sometimes there is also a feminine form of the personal pronoun % The form fas „tas“ is widely used in the western Dzūkijos area around Alytus, Lazdijai, Veisiejai, Daugai, etc. ir % In the forms itas, ita, itokis, used by many eastern and western Dzūkians, the second element consists of the pronoun tas, ta, toj or toks, toks, tokia, and the first — the pronoun is „jis“, which is still used today without the adjective j for Lazdijai, Rudamina, Šventežeris, etc. ; For the forms ifas, itokis darbybos dar plg. J. Endzelins, Grammar of the Latvian language, Riga, 1951, p. 537. For a different interpretation of the origin of these forms, see E. Fraenkel, The State of Research of Lithuanian Spoken in the Vilnius Region, „Balticoslavica“, vol. 2, p. 25. 200
the pronoun form of the singular noun këi (next to ana): jdį daf sefga; Ruf Joi is dead. ; However, the most common are the non-pronoun (except anasai, andj) forms of j-nouns: ti. iios honey bees i'sivedé; what a buyer, such a seller; oh, I don't know who he is; diénutokis, vakari kit okis; I am a former prisoner; vit all (all up to one) are vistdités; kap which word such pac; kokiė overēdai was. The singular noun of both genders often has a different form: simple noun, e.g.: ituom ir Rkeliū (walking) courtyain rd courtyard; This way you'll go. all isidz’augé jtioi (boys); which first you will eat (fruit), tūoi su Zéni'suos. § 36. In the dialect, the forms of the adjective pronouns mūnas, tavas, savas are often used, which also perform the function of the pronoun, e.g.: ca manas tėvelis; Oh, how about a typical moma? tevéli méanas, radnasai manas, paséki linelūs on manéses Zem@las; ruwtéles hand, Zal'és'a hand, who you c'a sowed, who you ravé; mani vaik@lei, savargelei; You're my man, you're my s@na. vi The possessive pronouns mano, tavo, savo are rarer, and are usually used in folklore, e.g. mano vilnuverp'- a, mano mésu: vėrda; I wasn't asking for moms. (greta taves momos). The most common forms of ir adjective pronouns used with the other syllables of the noun are ma, sa, ta, e.g.: prižadėjai, būsi, žmona; father ka ma ma be sa mommy's fever; ana made a beautiful lind to her sa daughteraš td :; mbtku: I'm raging; su ma su'num was bad; dzieve m a. $ 37. Instead of the literary adjective pronouns jūsiškis, mūsųiškis forms your, ar our dialect uses other forms, e.g.: jtūsis kap kuris žodzis kap mūsų; we were not bic’; we had a ir great time; Miss ir ir (sons) don't smoke. The feminine singular form of the noun is pronoun: ūsė ūtarka m į Neither s'Ok'a nor tok'a. Other forms of these pronouns are less commonly written, e.g. dgs. ward. our children do not know (understand) Lithuanian; dgs. viet. Our kiemi doesn't say. In this way, the short forms you, us are more commonly used: nevalgiss'u aš you dūonas; muūs cows were tied. § 38. Individual pronouns of the dialect, the be masculine ir feminine genus, have also forms of the non-noun genus, e.g.: anas visa susrifiko isiveZé; there is a fault ir (everything) is gone. Relative pronouns quantity, amount of other forms, e.g.: ir kiekis mėtu' jų c'a buni; How many dangduūs stars'u', that ciekas žymės ski'lalu-. in in Amounts reported (seemed), paizdz'ūvo vic visa; You're not gonna survive, you're gonna kill us.

The prefix až(u) replaces the literary prefix za-, e.g. bėbos suskrido (subėgo) and ažūddužė vilku; avi" a wolf; update node:; from maple ashburn; she ran home. Sometimes the prefix ažu is used instead of other literary prefixes (ap-, nu-, pa-, pra-, pri-, su-), e.g.: ana ažūsverkė macnai (strongly); and the threads were taken with the dustbin; in dviei arkl'ū linus ažūbrukė (carried away); ažusėmė viédru vanden'o; ažuvėrė ponėle "right-handed lady"; wanted eyes ažusp'jauc; wanted to aZuturéc (hold) well and other obeliés; nė kafto neaZusirgdd (I was not ill).

skaddz'ei (fast) galvén. In the above example, the prefixes pri and pagali may be exchanged.

Occasionally, different emoticons are used in du the same sentence, for example: ai, brūngus dziedūkai, oi, mani ganė, nežin'a kas toks. Conclusions $ 90. The Dieveniškiai dialect is important for Lithuanian language science in many respects. Due to its geographical position, as well as for o various historical reasons, not having had closer contact with other Lithuanian dialects for some time, not having experienced su greater influence of the literary language, the Dieveniškiai dialect has retained a considerable number of archaic features, cf. plural forms ir of noun pronouns at the ending su - Yours.
