Question about accents in Russian...

[kasak.livejournal.com]

This is directed at native speakers of Russian.

What are some common charactaristics (stereotypes?) that tell you that someone is from a specific region/different country? For example, is there a specific accent to people who are native Ukrainian speakers? Kazakh speakers? Armenian speakers? etc...

Any input would be most helpful (and interesting?)

Людям, чей радной язык - русский.

Как Вы знаете, что кое-то говорящий человек не носитель русского языка? Есть детали, которые выделятся о том, как говорит украинец? Казах? Армянин? итд...

Я буду признателен за ответы и информацию.

The point is, you shouldn't say that "they don't even try" to learn these things, it's just that it's harder to learn things that don't occur in your own language so they're more likely to make mistakes. It has nothing to do with some mass Georgian boycott of Russian grammatical gender.

(en masse, btw. it's a french borrowing)
