This paper presents new material for the dictionary of the present-day dialect
of Staroshvedkoye (Gammalsvenskby), the only Scandinavian dialect in the territory of
the former Soviet Union. The present-day state of this dialect has not been described
in linguistic literature. The only source of data on Gammalsvenskby is fieldwork with
speakers of the dialect. The main objective of this work is to present material recorded
in the interviews in the most complete way possible and to describe the state of the
vocabulary and inflection in the dialect. The entries include the following information:
type of infl ection; translation; phrases, sentences and short texts illustrating the usage
(with initials of the informants). In many cases full paradigms are given as well. They
include all phonetic and morphological forms that have occurred in the interviews.
