There exists a recording session of the Kukkuzi dialect, which was made in 2008–2012.[3] A Kukkuzi dialect dictionary has been made in 1980.[4] The Kukkuzi dialect has been declared to be dead since the 1970s,[1] however three existing speakers have been located in 2006.[5]

Classification

According to E.B. Markus the Kukkuzi dialect has izhorian like vocabulary and phonetics, while containing Votic grammar which is a result of an incomplete language switch to Izhorian.[6] However some linguists have claimed it rather as a dialect of Ingrian[7] and some classify it as a mixed language[8] In the past Kukkuzi has also sometimes been classified as a Finnish dialect.[9]

Features
  • The sound õ exists in Votic but is absent in the Kukkuzi dialect.[10]
  • Some other features of the Kukkuzi dialect are the absence of the sound changes k > tš and s > ťś.[11]
  • The sound k sometimes becomes k' after a front vowel[12]
