In the last decade, statistical methods of dialectology are increasingly used in Finno-Ugric studies. The results of the first stage of applying the clustering technique to the materials of the Dialectological Atlas of the Karelian Language (1997) revealed the main problems of Karelian dialectology (failure of the traditional classification, unclear definition of the status and boundaries of certain groups of dialects, etc.). To solve these problems, a dialect base of the Karelian language was developed. This base includes encoded language data, which made it possible to apply various hierarchical and iterative clustering methods to this data. This base includes encoded language data to which various hierarchical and iterative clustering methods are applied.
