FROM THE COMPILERS
The Karelian-Russian dictionary is based on North Karelian dialects, operating within the Kalevalsky and Loukhsky regions of the Republic of Karelia. The dictionary, however, uses materials from nearby dialects of the proper Karelian dialect. The material for this dictionary was primarily the “Dictionary of the Karelian Language,” published in Finland (Karjalan kielen sanakirja. I-V). In addition to it, we used publications of a linguistic, folklore and ethnographic nature, published in our country and abroad. This dictionary displays the most characteristic vocabulary, reflecting various aspects of Karelian life.
The compilers of the dictionary express their gratitude to R. Remshueva and V. Karakina, who took the trouble to carefully read the dictionary and make valuable comments.

ABOUT BUILDING A DICTIONARY
This Karelian-Russian dictionary is compiled on the basis of the North Karelian dialects, which have long functioned within the Kalevalsky and Loukhsky regions, as well as in Voknavolok, Kostomuksha and partly in the Murmansk region.
In the dictionary all words are arranged in alphabetical order. Capitalized words are in bold. The unchangeable part of the headword is separated from the changeable part by a slash (/), for example, pel/to, valm/is, huhu/ta, aut/tua.
The headword of the name is given in the nominative (nominative case) singular form. In parentheses are those parts of the word that are used to form the genitive and partitive singular forms, for example, pel/to (-Ion, -tuo) field: pellon (gen. singular), peltuo (part. singular). .).
Verbs are given in the indefinite personal form, for example. cab/bio watch, huhu/ta call. With them, parts of the word are also indicated in brackets, with the help of which it is easy to construct the 1st and 3rd person singular forms of the present indicative mood, for example. cab/bio (-on, -boys) watch: cabop I watch, cabboys he watches.
In cases where only the first two letters of a word remain unchanged, then the full forms of the words indicated above are given in brackets, for example, vesi (vejen, vetta), luuwa (luon, luou).
Parts of a compound word are separated by two slashes, e.g. k£si//paik/ka towel, me663//pirt/ti forest hut. In the second part of a compound word, one vertical line separates the unchangeable part of the compound word, for example. koti//kiel/i native language.
The different meanings of words are separated from each other by using Arabic numerals followed by a dot, eg homm/ata 1. to bother, prepare, engage; 2. get, get. Similar shades of meaning are conveyed through a comma, for example, huo/vis (-kehen, -vista) cheap, inexpensive.
Explanations related to individual meanings, translations, and usage are given in parentheses, for example, harp/pie (-in, -piu) (widely) to walk.
If the word is not used independently, then a colon is placed after it and the most common phrase with translation is given, etc. kek&lehillah: olla k. burn out, burn to coals.
Homonyms, i.e. words that are identical in pronunciation and spelling, but different in meaning, are given in separate dictionary entries and are designated by Roman numerals, for example, laki I ceiling, laki II law.

Karelian language

It’s somehow not logical to write something about the Karelian language in Russian, right? What O speak the language him need to talk.

But they speak little of it; the language of communication in Karelia, and in Syamozero in particular, is Russian. We have 10% of the total population of carriers throughout Karelia. There are even fewer Veps. Old people like our grandmother speak Karelian, but only with the same grandmothers and grandfathers. This is the situation in the village of Syamozero; we will not speak for other villages.

According to Syamozero, the Karelian language was the language of communication relatively recently, 80-100 years ago. Grandmother, for example, considers Karelian her native language and learned Russian only at school. Although our great-grandfather, her father, spoke Russian very well. In the book “The Voice of the Karelian” Miron Smirnov also points out that the Syamozero region was 100% Karelian-speaking in the mid-19th century; he says that very few people even understood Russian. This is also indicated by the dictionary entry of that time by Brockhaus and Efron - “The population speaks Karelian.”

Not only does few people speak the language, but it also has a bunch of adverbs. Our granny, not without pride, says that we speak Karelian, but there, to the north, along Onega, who knows what, you can’t understand anything. In fact, the Syamozero Karelians (those who still remain) speak the Livvik dialect, which is a mixture of Karelian with elements of Vep. The people (those on the western coast of Onega) speak Karelian, which is even closer to Vepsian. And the further north you go, the purer the Karelian language is.

For the integrity of the picture, the map of the distribution of adverbs of the Karelian language can be viewed here: http://www.kotus.fi/files/523/uusi-karjala.jpg. Livviki are marked in green, Syamozero in Finnish is Säämäjärvi.

The writer and ethnographer N.F. Leskov spoke about the mutual influence of the Russian and Karelian languages ​​at the end of the 19th century.

Until the 90s of the 20th century, Karelian writing was poorly developed, and its development was influenced by “multidirectional” efforts: the activities of the Orthodox Church, Russian, Finnish linguists. In book publishing, both Cyrillic and Latin fonts were used. This dictionary was compiled by the teacher of the Svyatozersky one-class school M.D. Georgievsky for the needs of teachers and employees working in Karelia, therefore, for practical reasons, Karelian words are given in Cyrillic. Both the author and the editor admit that in a number of cases the Cyrillic alphabet does not quite correctly convey the phonetic features of the Karelian language, therefore the preface contains some notes on reading the Karelian part of the dictionary.

Wikipedia / Wikipedia

Activists began translating Wikipedia into Karelian in 2007. Since then, three versions of the online encyclopedia have appeared on the Internet: in Livvik, Ludik and Karelian dialects. Moreover, only the first, Livvik version, became a full-fledged language version: the other two are still in the incubator (the interface has not been fully translated, there is no required number of articles).

Another thing is Wikipedia in Livvik style. Today it is in 216th place among language versions in terms of the number of articles (1966 pieces). The closest neighbors are the Hawaiian (higher in the list, 1978 articles) and Buryat (1873 articles) Wikipedia.

A little interactivity: this is how Russian Wikipedia turns into Livvik’s (move the slider with your mouse):

Languages ​​such as Karakalpak, Pennsylvania German, Greenlandic, Aramaic, Tok Pisin and Sranan Tongo were left behind. In total, the official list includes 285 language versions of the encyclopedia.

The list above is also interesting. More articles than in Livvik Wikipedia are written in Navajo, Franco-Provencal, Gagauz, Komi-Permyak and (which is especially interesting for us) Vepsian. Veps Wikipedia with 5351 articles is in 164th position.

About 15-20 people are actively writing articles for Karelian Wikipedias, primarily for Livvikov’s. One of them is doctoral student at the University of Eastern Finland (Joensuu) Ilya Moshnikov.

Ilya started working with Karelian Wikipedia a couple of years ago, and it happened almost by accident. Then he received an invitation to a seminar on the development of Finno-Ugric language versions, which took place in Estonia. Such seminars are organized annually, and they were also held in Petrozavodsk.

Moshnikov writes articles mainly in the Livvik dialect, sometimes working with the actual Karelian version (which is in the incubator). In two years I managed to participate in the writing of 250-300 texts: I composed articles myself, translated them, and made edits.

— Articles appear on Livvik Wikipedia mainly due to the translation of similar texts from Russian or English. A small part, however, is unique: mostly these are articles about Karelian people-events-phenomena. But it’s difficult to write like this—you have to re-search the Internet for reliable primary sources, put links to them, and double-check the information.

The creation of Karelian Wikipedias (and all others) began with a list of thousands of required articles. It mentions famous people (artists, politicians, historical figures, scientists), philosophical and scientific concepts, and international organizations. Then a hundred articles were written about Karelia.

People writing articles for Karelian Wikipedias do it on a voluntary basis - voluntarily and free of charge. Everyone has a main job and study, which does not leave too much time for filling out the encyclopedia. And not everyone can do this (although formally everyone can): you need not only to know the language well, but also to be familiar with the subject you are writing about. Although some technical edits can be made by people who do not write Karelian.

The authors of the Livvik Wikipedia (remember, 15-20 people) meet in person from time to time, but mostly correspond on VKontakte. Besides them, however, there are many anonymous people who make edits and create their own texts. In total, 788 participants are registered in the Livvik version (of which eight have active status). For comparison: the Vepsian Wikipedia has 6812 members (24 active).

For Karelian Wikipedias to develop, a strategy is needed. At one of the last meetings, the issue of a possible unification of sections was discussed: to create not three Wikipedias (Livvik, Lyudikov and Karelian itself), but one common for all dialects.

“It won’t be easy to do this,” says Ilya Moshnikov. “And it’s a technically difficult task, and there will probably be people who disagree.” But it is necessary to continue the development of Karelian Wikipedia. The main goal here is the development and preservation of the language.

VKontakte / Vkontakte

Social networks are where the living modern Karelian language is developing today. A group of activists led by folklorist Maria Kundozerova is translating the VKontakte interface. Work began last fall.

They immediately decided that the interface needed to be translated into the Karelian dialect itself (common in the north of the republic). Maria says that the authors of the idea were already corresponding with each other in Karelian, including on social networks, and then they decided: “VKontakte” has already been translated into more than 70 languages, why is ours any worse? Karelians also want to keep up with the times, says Kundozerova.

The translation, which affects not only the main but also the mobile version of the site, is created in a special application developed by social network programmers. In it, the so-called keys are distributed into groups, each of which must be translated into its own language.

A key is a word, phrase, sentence, or even a separate small text that represents interface elements

Today, only four volunteers are working on the translation of VKontakte into Karelian (at first there were more, but the work takes a lot of time - some of the translators dropped out). In six months, they transferred 10,342 keys, just under half. Thirteen and a half thousand left.

— During their work, activists have to deal with a large amount of modern vocabulary related to computers, programming, markup language, and software for all kinds of gadgets. Modern dictionaries of the Karelian language practically do not contain such vocabulary, so many words have to be created by borrowing from other languages ​​(Finnish, English, Russian). This contributes to the development of the Karelian language and shows its vitality,” says Maria Kundozerova.

“We hope that the appearance of the Karelian version of VKontakte will give users the opportunity to practice the language “without interrupting their work.” Modern man - and Karelian man is no exception - spends most of his working time on social networks. Imagine: a person sits on VKontakte, looks at words that are dear to his soul, and quietly rejoices.

By the way, the administration of the social network has put the translation of the VKontakte interface into minor languages ​​on stream. In addition to the already mentioned translation application, there is a group of the project “Translating VKontakte” on the site. There is also a “supreme translator” - the main coordinator (she lives in St. Petersburg).

From there, the coordinator not only manages the work of individual translators, but also helps with advice. For example, at her suggestion, they decided to call the Karelian version of VKontakte the abbreviated form vk.com - this is customary if the language has Latin writing.

Maria Kundozerova expects to complete the translation of the interface into Karelian by the end of the year. After some time it will appear in the public domain. Next, perhaps someone will decide to translate other social networks, for example Facebook, into Karelian. In this, future heroes can be helped by a dictionary of the Karelian dialect itself, prepared by the current group based on the translation of computer and other modern technical vocabulary.

“There’s definitely a point to this: the future is the Internet,” says Maria. And he jokes that when he gets old, he will start translating Odnoklassniki.

What will a VKontakte page look like in Karelian? We tried to imagine it. For you in active search - the wise old Väinämöinen:
