You are wrong. Native Russian speakers do not have any special accent other than Southern Russian accent (there might be Ukrainian influence as well), non-native speakers of Russian may have foreign accents, but how is it connected with the topic of the thread? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

In most of Europe (aside from Norway, Switzerland, Flanders, parts of Italy, Southern Germany) dialects died out, and the only thing they left behind is regional accent/pronunciation.

It's the first one I was getting at, the southern Russian one. Not a Georgian one... the man I spoke with was from Grozny. And that *is* an accent. (Maybe not a dialect though). And in the Netherlands dialects are also alive Medulin. I know plenty of people from Groningen, Twente, Brabant, Zeeland or Limburg I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of understanding.

Was he a native Russian speaker or a native Chechen speaker or someone else? Many languages are spoken in the Nothern Caucasis, and speakers of those languages have different profficiency in Russian and they have various accents when they speak Russian. And they make mistakes due to the influence of their mothertongue. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

No, I think he was definitely a native Russian speaker. But this is 1,5 years ago or so,
and my Russian was way worse at the time. However it was a Russian store with all sorts of items from the former CIS countries, a Ukrainian works there too. But I think he was native. I remember hearing the distinctive southern pronunciation of г and asked if he was maybe Ukrainian, he said no I'm southern Russian, that guy over there is Ukrainian.

Here's a table detailing some of the subtle differences between Northern and Southern Russian, and how this relates to Standard Russian:

The NorthRussian dialect/accent is closer to SerboCroatian than the standard Russian is. Edited by Medulin on 29 September 2013 at 10:57am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Марк, is it a scientific fact or merely your observation? i guess it is you who is wrong here. (sorry for being blunt but the tone of your posts irks me at times). native russians born and raised for instance in Tbilisi speak with a georgian sort of accent. believe me, i lived there. the same goes for the russian people from Grozny: they also speak with an accent. so in fact Tarvos might have met one of them on his Russia's journey.
