Pacifican Russian dialect

Pacifican Russian (Russian: Тихоокеанскій русскій язы́къ) is Russian as spoken in Pacifica. It mostly developed during the 1700s and 1800s, when it became somewhat separate from the mainland and Alaskan dialects. For the most part, it is essentially Russian with somewhat large amounts of English and Klirsauw influence. The dialect primarily grew from the North West of Pacifica in somewhat rural areas, with a peak of about 100,000 speakers. Since its transfer to the British Empire (as the Province of Aberdeen), English settlers began to settle more and more and began to reduce the influence of the Russian language. As of the 2000s, only a few thousand native speakers still inhabit the reduced area. The dialect is mostly homogenous, with speakers remaining in more or less the same area.

Vocabulary
Certain concepts that did not exist in Russia after about the 1700s, along with a number of displaced words, adapted words from English, especially after the 1840s (ex: трак for "truck," кэш рэгестер for "cash register," etc.)

Phonology
Pacifican Russian's phonology remains mostly unchanged, though its alphabet remained the same as the one used in the Russian Empire between 1750 and 1918 for several reasons:


 * The Pacifican leadership preferred to distance itself from the new Soviet government following the Russian Revolution;
 * Interfering interests with the board that was actually in charge of changing Pacifican Russian's orthography;
 * The movement of White Russian émigrés to the country, which shifted the thinking (though most settled in Bedford, Columbia and other larger cities rather than moving to the areas where most native speakers lived in.
