Евангелие от Матфея (1878) как памятник точной фиксации… архаического состояния кильдинского саамского языка
Matthew 1878 as a monument of exact reflection of the archaic stage of Kildin Sami

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of words considered in [Бакула 2016] we demonstrate how the analysis of the vowel correspondences system in the first Gospel, the contemporary standard Kildin and Proto Sami languages changes, if we exclude borrowings from our scope of view. The reason for this exclusion is that borrowings generally have specific correspondences in other languages. It turns out that the system of vowel graphemes of the monument is much closer to the Proto Sami reconstruction than the modern Kildin one. It is interesting to note that the analysis of field materials of the modern Voronin dialect of the Kildin language reveals that the Voronin system of vowel phonemes is also close to the system of vowel graphemes of the first Gospel, whereas the modern Kildin one is very innovative.
