Differences to litarary Dazhdin

There are notable differences to the litarary Dazhdin in orthography, syntax, phonology and grammar:

Disappearance of definite adjective declensions

TBA

Phonetical shift in L's

Лл Ӆӆ
Лл Ӆӆ

Posąvrag dialects have undergone a phonetical shift /l//w/ for Л, which is to be denoted with a letter El with tail (Ӆ), while the sound change /ʎ//l/ occured as for Љ, which is to be denoted with a letter Л.

This change is expected to have happened during the Posąvrag Syllabic Shift of the 1750's, in which the letters "Л" and "Ӆ" hardened. In transcription of manuscripts, it is advised for "Л" to be denoted as "L" and "Ӆ" to be denoted as "Ł".

Change in orthography in Њ

Нн Ӊӊ
Нн Ӊӊ

During the same time as the writing of a letters for L changed, letter Nje (Њ) (/ɲ/) changed its writing without changing the sound to the En with tail (Ӊ).

Changes in cases

Almost no presence of the translative case

Animacy

Partial disappearance of the animacy distingtion, merger of "toj" and "ten" pronouns
