Dzūkian dialect
The Dzūkian dialect (Template:Langx), known in academic works as Southern Aukštaitian dialect (Template:Langx), is one of the three main sub-dialects of the Aukštaitian dialect of Lithuanian language.[1] Dzūkian dialect is spoken in Dzūkija, southern Lithuania. Its most distinctive feature is replacing t, d before i, į, y, ie and č, dž with c and dz (Script error: No such module "Lang". instead of Script error: No such module "Lang". – just, Script error: No such module "Lang". instead of Script error: No such module "Lang". – size, Script error: No such module "Lang". instead of Script error: No such module "Lang". – to braid, Script error: No such module "Lang". instead of Script error: No such module "Lang". – guests). Another notable feature is the lengthening of vowels in closed syllables ending in sonorants, for example: tìltas (bridge) becomes tyltas, bùlvė (potato) - būlvė, or pìrmas (first) - pyrmas. Since the region borders Slavic lands, the dialect has many Slavic loanwords and barbarisms.
