Haven't seen a rules posting lately, but I'm still here.... ;

A male friend of ours, who was born in one of the ex-USSR countries, introduced us a few weeks ago to his new girlfriend... born in another of the ex-USSR countries. I hope this relationship lasts because she & I liked each other from the start! Anyway, she mentioned in conversation that the Russian language has no dialects. I don't disbelieve it. But as a native speaker of English I found myself quite surprised by the idea, and as the sort of person who consults various sources I would also like to hear what *you* think. :-)

Thankyou. Since you run a well-known BBS with quite a large number
of users, your input is important. But I understand why others may hesitate to
come out of the woodwork here until you've identified yourself by name.... :-)

What more can i say.. Trying to generate some extra extra traffic to the
echos. Usage of the board is down from a year ago.

Hi, Mark! Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

Glad to hear it. For those who may not remember Mark... AKA "lower
case lewis"... from the ENGLISH_TUTOR echo, he willingly assists other folks in
the network whenever he can.

This is a good echo where the Russians have always been very kind &
patient with me. Now all we need is some Russians.... ;-)

Russian has dialects of course, but they don't seem
as disparate as those of English. On the other
hand, read this one if you can:

That file is encoded in DOS-866, and I can help you
with both encoding and translation.

The Soviet Russian virtually didn't have dialiects due the strict language standard countrywide.
Russian Russian definitly does.
