The Mundart des Ostgebiets is a subdialect of Low Prussian, a dialect of Low German. It was spoken around Insterburg (now Chernyakhovsk, Russia), Memelland (Klaipėda Region, Lithuania), and Tilsit (Sovyetsk, Russia). Many speakers of this subdialect were Prussian Lithuanians. In difference to varieties to the West, it had no vocalization of r. Its alveolar r probably counts among its influences of Lithuanians. Mundart der Weichselwerder has an alveolar as well. Mundart des Ostgebietes has a greater phonetic affinity to Standard German than Samlandic. Ai of Samlandic is given as ei with long e. Mundart des Ostgebietes had borders to Ostsamländisch, Natangian and Standard German. Lithuanian language was spoken within its area. It has features common with Mundart der Frischen Nehrung und der Danziger Nehrung.

High German influence is, though not exclusively, by Salzburg Protestants. There was a diminutive ending -l around Gusev, Kaliningrad Oblast (Gumbinnen), explained by Upper German influence It has dorx for High German durch, English through.
