Translation:

Karelian-Ludic people live in a number of villages in the southeastern part of the Republic of Karelia, that is in the Olonets, Pryazha and Kondopoga districts.

Svyatoozero, Yarn, Konchezero, Spasskaya Guba, Tivdiya, Mikhailovskoye are the most famous settlements where the inhabitants speak in Ludic language.

Ludic dialect is on the verge of total extinction, since about 4,000-5,000 Karelian-Ludic people remain, but only about 300-500 of them are native speakers.

It is extremely important that the Ludic dialect will be presented in the Open corpus of Veps and Karelian languages (http://dictorpus.krc.karelia.ru/en).
