The article clarifies the concept of dialect, emphasizing the decline in the interest of modern linguistics in dialects. The relevance of the study: language is an indicator of the condition of society and any transformations of social relations primarily manifest themselves in the language environment of the country. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that we studied the dialect of village residents, the village of Skhodnevo, the Klyavlinsky district, the Samara region; for the first time, the linguistic connections of the northeastern dialect of the Russian language in the Samara region and the Tatar language have been established, based on dialect morphology; the study was conducted using new language material (the language material was collected in the homeland of one of the authors of the article). We clarified the reasons for the emergence and interpenetration of some dialectal linguistic phenomena using the following research methods: the method of observation of the villagers’ dialect, descriptive and comparative methods. The lexical features, noted by us, expand the understanding of the typology of the Samara dialects and represent a unique material. At the level of phonetics and morphology, typological differences include the shift of stress, akanye and the southern Russian pronunciation of the sound [g]. Thus, the lexical features of Russian dialects can easily be borrowed from one dialect by the other. This material will be useful for teachers of the Russian language and students of philology.
