This thesis considers linguistic phenomena obtained from audio recordings of Ms. A. S., who lived in an indigenous Czech village in the North Caucasus. The speaker is a granddaughter of native Czech colonists, who inhabited the Black Sea area of the Caucasus in the second half of the 19th century. The first part of the thesis considers in brief the history of Czech emigration to the former Tsarist Russia, focusing on the Caucasus and the villages that the informant comes from. The second part of the thesis, then, maps dominant and specific phenomena that occur in the recording. A connection is drawn between the phenomena listed and other studies of Novorossyisk-Anapa variety of the Czech language, as well as other studies of dialectal variation in Russia and the situation of these phenomena in the Southwestern-Bohemian dialect, as that is the dialect which this variety of the Czech language derives from. Since a considerable part of the recording consists of Ms. A. S.'s daughter and granddaughter speaking, examples of their speech are also included in the thesis, or intergenerational comparison of the phenomena is drawn. Keywords: a Czech language island, dialectology, Russia, the Caucasus, Anapa, influence of Russian, Southwestern-Bohemian dialect group
