Abstract

An analysis of English language borrowings used in the Middle Volga region's subdialects is presented in this article. The subdialects of this area are fascinating because they belong to the oldest group in the Kazan Volga region. The study's primary source was a dialect dictionary written by M.F. Moiseyenko and released at the start of the twenty-first century. The Volga-Sviyaga region's contemporary subdialects' lexicon is reflected in the dictionary. The distinctiveness and diversity of the vocabulary offered in the reference book attest to the interactions between the local (Turkic) peoples, making it valuable. There are roughly 80 lexical units of Turkic origin in the dictionary. The majority of them are not listed in literary language thesauruses, analysis revealed. Additionally, linguistics were discovered, which are exclusive to the studied region based on comparative data from lexicographic sources. Overall, this source's analysis and the linguistics it uncovered allow for the bridging of the gap in identifying the total number of Turkisms (linguistics) in the English vocabulary and complement the materials of the reference books already in print on borrowings into the language. The use of a thorough research methodology, which is based on an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of Turkic borrowings functioning in the English language, ensures the conclusions' scientific reliability and viability. Descriptive and statistical approaches were thus employed in their interaction and interrelation.
