Dryicoran Finnish

Dryicoran Finnish (Finnish: drahkorensuomi) is the dialect of the spoken in Dryicor.

Being merely a Finnish dialect, there is little difference between the language and standard Finnish, however are a couple of differences. The dialect is heavily influenced by the and by the  and  languages, due to its proximity to where they are spoken.

As with the Peräpohjola dialects, standard pronouns change slightly: mie (minä, "I") and sie (sinä, "you"(sg.)) are similar to Eastern Finnish, while met and meän (me and meidän, "we" and "our(s)") and tet and teän (te and teidän, you (pl.) and your(s)(pl.)) are unique to Peräpohjola and Dryicor. Also, unlike in the Peräpahjola dialects, the reflex to the standard third-person verb suffix -vat ("they") is not a simple -t, e.g. annoit (Peräpohjola) vs antoivat (Dryicor/standard).

Also, rather than using 'kas' as a suffix that changes regularly, in Dryicoran Finnish it is used as per Norwegian, i.e. the sentence "He is a man with sisu" in standard Finnish it is "Hän on sisukas mies", whilst in Dryicoran Finnish it becomes "Hän on mies kas sisu". Similarly, in sentences, rather than taking the genitive case and using 'kanssa', Dryicorans ignore the genitive and use the Norwegian word 'med'.

The accent also regularly drops letters and sounds, making it much tougher to understand than standard Finnish. There is also a linguistic difference which occurs across regional boundaries: the Laajamaa dialect is fairly different to that of a Tuotalla speaker.
