Аннотация:In the summer of 2021 an expedition was conducted to the areas of residence
of Seto: in the village of Izborsk, in the Pechora district of the Pskov region of Rus‑
sia, Obinnica Setumaa Parish, Vyrumaa County, Estonia. Audio dictionaries were
collected from two Pechora Seto from D. Izborsk, and from two Estonian Seto from
Obinitsa. They are available on the LingvoDoc platform lingvodoc.ispras.ru. In this
article we will focus on the description of the stress in the Seto language in names
that have Finno-Ugric origin. The analysis showed that the stress system is not fun‑
damentally different between Russian and Estonian setos. We have analysed the
placement of stress in the names of Finno-Ugric origin from the point of view of
experimental phonetics in the Praat program. It was found that there is a certain cor‑
relation between Proto Volga-Finnic accent paradigms and the ratio of the length and
intensity of the vowels of the first and second syllables in the names in Seto. It can be
noted that the Seto language probably has preserved relics of the Proto Volga-Finnic
accent. So far, this is the only Baltic-Finnish language in which it has been possible
to identify at least a partial preservation of this phenomenon
