The Moscow dialect or Moscow accent (Russian: московское произношение, romanized: moskovskoye proiznosheniye, IPA: [mɐˈskofskəjə prəɪznɐˈʂenʲɪ(j)ɪ]), sometimes Central Russian, is the spoken Russian language variety used in Moscow – one of the two major pronunciation norms of the Russian language alongside the Saint Petersburg norm. Influenced by both northern and southern Russian dialects, the Moscow dialect is the basis of the Russian literary language.
