Siberian Finnish or Korlaka is the form of Finnish spoken in Siberia by the Siberian Finns. Siberian Finnish is an umbrella name, this name refers to at least two languages/dialects.
The first language is a Lower Luga Ingrian Finnish – Lower Luga Ingrian (Izhorian) mixed language.[1][2] The ancestors of the speakers of this language migrated from the Lower Luga area (more exactly Rosona river area, Yamburgsky Uyezd of the Saint Petersburg Governorate) to Siberia in 1803–1804. The academic name for this language is Siberian Ingrian Finnish (Russian: Сибирский ингерманландский идиом, romanized: Sibirsky ingermanlandsky idiom),[1][2] and native speakers call this language suomen kiel', mejjen kiel', oma kiel'. Most native speakers (at the time of 2022) of this language live in Ryzhkovo village, as well as near Ryzhkovo, in Omsk and in Tallinn (Estonia).
The second Finnish language in Siberia is a language spoken by the descendants of exiles from the Grand Duchy of Finland and repressed people of Finnish ethnic origin during the Soviet period.[1] This language is close to standard Finnish (probably based on Eastern Finnish dialects and has borrowings from Estonian and Russian). Several native speakers of this language live in Omsk, and a few isolated native speakers of it live in other settlements of the Omsk Region (Orlovka, probably Ivanovka and Kovalevo).
Siberian Finnish differs depending on the background of the speaker and their education level. Most speakers of Siberian Finnish are old and the Finnish skills of the Siberian Finns are being lost.[3]
Some speakers of Siberian Finns have lived in Ryzhkovo, Orlovka, Bugene (another name for this village is "Finy" (Russian: Фины), this village has not been inhabited since about 2010), and Ivanovka.[4]
