Telšiai mountains ( lit. telšiškiai , Latvian telšu izloksne ; self-name telšiškiai ) are dialects of the Aukštaitian (Upper Lithuanian) dialect , common in the northwestern part of the Republic of Lithuania in the vicinity of the city of Telšiai and to the north [4] [1] . Together with Kretinga dialects , they are part of the North Dzhemaytaysky dialect , one of the three Dzhemayskikh dialects, along with West Zemotaysky and South Dzhemaysky [5] [6] [7] .
In telsiai dialects, such as in the dialects of Klaipeda and Kretinga , such an archaic trait is widespread as preserving the dual number in the declension and conjugation system: dọ geroụjo vírọ “two good men”, skaĩtova “we both read” [6] .
