I'm afraid I do not quite understand your point, and especially your "but".Originally Posted by kottoo
Could you provide some examples please? I've been to the Black Sea coast, and I never had any problems with understanding people there.And how about south (Krasnodar and may be most part of Black Sea coast)? They really use another words than for example in Siberia.
The only "Ukrainian" thing in their speech is the "г" and the "-ов" at the end of words, i.e. pronunciation. But not everyone in the south speaks like that.And they accent it's more look like the Ukrainian than the Russian.
