ENThe being compared seven local dialects of the Lithuanian language belong to two different dialects - the Vilniškiai (between Germanavičiai and Breslauja) and Uteniškiai (between the suburb of Daugavpils Gryva and Aknysta). The differences of the local dialects are not great, so it is difficult to determine the boundary of the dialects. In Latvian territory the dialect of Uteniškiai have also the main peculiarities of the dialect of Vilniškiai - a certain aspect of the dialect of Dzūkai and sometimes the diphthongs ie and uo. It turned out for the first time in linguistics. The differences of the local dialect of Rraslava Lithuanians are greater from the other local dialects of the Vilniškiai dialect as from the dialect of Uteniškiai. In the local dialect of Kraslava the long unstressed vowels most often remain long and in other described local dialects they become half long and sometimes they even become short facultative variants. Most likely because of the influence of the Latvian language the stressed vowels a and e at the beginning of the word more often or rarely remain short (in the local dialect of Kraslava - even in the suffixes). The words consisting of the root with a long vowel and the ending with a short stressed vowel can have a secondary stress in the root. The. accents of the long vowels (acute and circumflex) are not distinct. In all the local dialects the unstressed short vowel a can be qualitatively a little bit reduced in the ending, and in the local dialect of Eglaine it can be not pronounced at all. In the local dialects of Kraslava, Eglaine, etc. the vowel ė and sometimes о become ie and uo. In the local dialect of Aknysta these sounds can also become monophthongs in the stressed syllable, especially in the end of a word. In the infinitive without a final vowel i the consonant / that was before it becomes palatalized or hard.
