Differences between Russian spoken in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Yevgenii,

There is an article related to this  
issue:http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Различия_речи_москвичей_и_петербуржцев

The article is titled "Razlichiia rechi moskvichei i peterburzhtsev".

Another interesting article is located  
here:http://www.rg.ru/2005/06/21/slovarj.html

Of course, one can add such words as kartochka, kura, grechikha,  
khabarik, kuliek....

All best,
Alexandra

>> Dear All,
>> Could any one give me a few examples of the differences between   
>> Russian spoken in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Differences such as   
>> phrasing (not phonetics). As far as I remember in Moscow people say  
>>  десятый автобус, пятый автобус (desiatyi avtobus, piatyi avtobus),  
>>  in Petersburg - десятка автобуса, пятерка автобуса (desiatka   
>> avtobusa, piaterka avtobusa); In Moscow a curb is called бровка(   
>> brovka), in Petersburg - поребрик (porebrik). Anything else?
>> Thank you in advance.
