South Karelian dialects, Karelian dialects[1] or Southeast Finnish dialects (Finnish: kaakkoismurteet) are Eastern Finnish dialects spoken in South Karelia, along with eastern parts of Kymenlaakso (Virolahti and Miehikkälä).[2][3] Prior to the Winter War, the dialects were spoken along the Karelian Isthmus and Ingria. However, the South Karelian dialect speakers from the parts of Karelia taken by the Soviet Union were evacuated into the rest of Finland where their speech was assimilated into the new environment. Use of the Ingrian dialects is declining.[4]
South Karelian dialects have been influenced by Russian.[5]
