South Karelian dialects, Karelian dialects[1] or Southeast Finnish dialects are Finnish dialects which were still spoken in the whole of South Karelia and Ingria, however the South Karelian dialect speakers from the parts of Karelia taken by the Soviet Union were evacuated into the rest of Finland where their speech was assimilated into the new environment, now even the Ingrian dialects are dying out.[2] Today they are spoken in the region of South Karelia, as well as in Virolahti and Miehikkälä, which are located in Kymenlaakso instead.[3][4]

South Karelian dialects have been influenced by Russian.[5]
