Samogitian is divided into three major dialects: Northern Samogitian (spoken in Telšiai and Kretinga regions), Western Samogitian (was spoken in the region around Klaipėda , now nearly extinct, – after 1945, many people were expelled and new ones came to this region) and Southern Samogitian (spoken in Varniai , Kelmė , Tauragė and Raseiniai regions).

Nouns and other declinable words are declined in eight cases: nominative , genitive , dative , accusative , instrumental , locative ( inessive ), vocative and illative .

The Samogitian language, heavily influenced by Curonian , originated from the East Baltic proto-Samogitian dialect which was close to Aukštaitian dialects . During the 5th century, Proto-Samogitians migrated from the lowlands of central Lithuania, near Kaunas , into
310-745: Is different from standard Lithuanian. Dual is preserved perfectly while in standard Lithuanian it has been completely lost. The differences between nominals are considerable too. The fifth noun declension has almost completely merged with the third declension. The plural and some singular cases of the fourth declension have endings of the first declension (e.g.: singular nominative sūnos , plural nom. sūnā , in standard Lithuanian: sg. nom. sūnus , pl. nom. sūnūs ). The neuter of adjectives has been pushed out by adverbs (except for šėlt 'warm', šalt 'cold', karšt 'hot') in Samogitian. Neuter pronouns were replaced by masculine. The second declension of adjectives has almost merged with

#1732772170778372-432: Is no new literature in Samogitian either, as authors prefer standard Lithuanian for its accessibility to a larger audience. Out of those people who speak Samogitian, only a few can understand its written form. Migration of Samogitian speakers to other parts of the country and migration into Samogitia have reduced contact between Samogitian speakers, and therefore the level of fluency of those speakers. There are attempts by

434-465: Is verb conjugation . The past iterative tense is formed differently from Lithuanian (e.g., in Lithuanian the past iterative tense , meaning that action which was done in the past repeatedly, is made by removing the ending -ti and adding -davo ( mirti – mirdavo , pūti – pūdavo ), while in Samogitian, the word liuob is added instead before the word). The second verb conjugation merged with

Further north, they displaced or assimilated the indigenous Semigallian -speaking peoples. Assimilation of Curonians and Semigallians gave birth to the three Samogitian subdialects. In the 13th century, Žemaitija became a part of the Baltic confederation called Lietuva (Lithuania), which
496-593: The Lithuanian word Duona, "bread". They are referred to as Dounininkai (from Douna ), Donininkai (from Dona ) and Dūnininkai (from Dūna ). The Samogitian language is rapidly declining: it is not used in the local school system and there is only one quarterly magazine and no television broadcasts in Samogitian. There are some radio broadcasts in Samogitian (in Klaipėda and Telšiai ). Local newspapers and broadcast stations use standard Lithuanian instead. There

The council of Telšiai city put marks with Samogitian names for the city at the roads leading to the city, while the council of Skuodas claim to use the language during the sessions. A new system for writing Samogitian was created. The first use of a unique writing system for Samogitian was in the interwar period , however it
558-473: The indicative mood , subjunctive (or conditional ) and imperative moods (both without distinction of tenses) and infinitive . The formation of past iterative is different from standard Lithuanian. There are three numbers in Samogitian: singular , plural and dual . Dual is almost extinct in standard Lithuanian. The third person of all three numbers is common. Samogitian as the standard Lithuanian has

620-531: The Samogitian Cultural Society discourages these conventions and recommends using the letters with macrons above instead. The use of double letters is accepted in cases where computer fonts do not have Samogitian letters; in such cases y is used instead of Samogitian ī, the same as in standard Lithuanian, while other long letters are written as double letters. The apostrophe might be used to denote palatalization in some cases; in others i

775-476: The first declension, with only singular nominative case endings staying separate. The formation of pronominals is also different from standard Lithuanian. Samogitian also has many words and figures of speech that are altogether different from typically Lithuanian ones, e.g., kiuocis – basket (Lith. krepšys , Latvian ķocis ), tevs – thin (Lith. plonas, tęvas , Latvian tievs ), rebas – ribs (Lith. šonkauliai , Latvian ribas ),

Samogitian preserved a lot of relics of athematic conjugation which did not survive in standard Lithuanian. The intonation in the future tense third person is the same as in the infinitive, in standard Lithuanian it shifts. The subjunctive conjugation

The Samogitian language is highly inflected like standard Lithuanian , in which the relationships between parts of speech and their roles in a sentence are expressed by numerous flexions. There are two grammatical genders in Samogitian – feminine and masculine. Relics of historical neuter are almost fully extinct while in standard Lithuanian some isolated forms remain. Those forms are replaced by masculine ones in Samogitian. Samogitian stress

Among those who have tried are Stasys Anglickis [ lt ] , Pranas Genys [ lt ] , Sofija Kymantaitė-Čiurlionienė , B. Jurgutis , Juozas Pabrėža [ lt ] . Today, Samogitian has a standardised writing system but it still remains a spoken language, as nearly everyone writes in their native speech. Samogitian differs from Standard Lithuanian in phonetics , lexicon , syntax and morphology . Phonetic differences from standard Lithuanian are varied, each Samogitian subdialect (West, North and South) has different reflections.

From the 13th century onwards, Samogitians settled within the former Curonian lands, and intermarried with the population over the next three hundred years. The Curonians were assimilated by the 16th century. Its dying language has influenced
961-574: Was neglected during the Soviet period, so only elderly people knew how to write in Samogitian at the time Lithuania regained independence. The Samogitian Cultural Society renewed the system to make it more usable. The writing system uses similar letters to standard Lithuanian, but with the following differences: As previously it was difficult to add these new characters to typesets, some older Samogitian texts use double letters instead of macrons to indicate long vowels, for example aa for ā and ee for ē; now
