Abstract
The article presents some of the results of the completed scientific project "Comprehensive Sociolinguistic and Grammatical Study of the Russian Setos’ Idiom". The author of the project made a number of expeditions to the Pechora district of the Pskov region, to the indigenous Seto territory, and to the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where the Seto people moved at the turn of the 20th century. The project aimed to obtain a complete synchronous grammatical description of essentially two idioms: Pechora and Krasnoyarsk Seto, and collect comprehensive information about the modern functioning of the two idioms. For the first time, the idioms of the Krasnoyarsk Seto were the subject of both linguistic description and sociolinguistic study.The article deals with the ethnic identity and ethnonyms of the Seto people, the preservation of their cultural traditions and customs; it provides certain sociolinguistic information obtained in a field sociolinguistic survey. Some features of the Seto language that differ from closely related languages are included in the article, as well as the linguistic differences between the two idioms.
