Introduction: the authors consider the phonetic features of the subdialect of the Adashevo settlement of the South-Eastern dialect of the Moksha language. They describe such speech processes in the field of vowels and consonants as vowel reduction, consecutive vowels narrowing, devocalization of sonorants, palatalization, etc. The authors study the features of accentuation and consistently compare the South-Eastern dialect with other Moksha language dialects, and show its originality. Objective: to identify and describe the phonetic features of the subdialect of Adashevo settlement of Kadoshkinsky District of the Republic of Mordovia; to show the common and the different in phonetic structure of the subdialect in comparison with other subdialects and dialects of the Moksha language. Research materials: dialect material collected by the authors and Ogarev Mordovia State University students during linguistic expeditions in 2013, 2015 and 2019. Results and novelty of the research: the analysis of the dialect material revealed phonetic features peculiar to the South-Eastern dialect of the Moksha language in general and in particular to the subdialect of Adashevo settlement. Of particular interest is the narrowing of front vowels (*ä > e, *e > i), which in turn leads to the reduction of secondary narrow vowels. Cases of absence of reduction of narrow vowels in the anlaut of a word, which is unusual for other dialects of the South-Eastern dialect, are revealed. Cases of occurrence of positional affricates are described. The phonetic features of the subdialect of Adashevo settlement of the South-Eastern dialect of the Moksha language is being described in detail for the first time which until now has not been the subject of special research. The collected dialect material can be used in the compilation of a dialect dictionary and lexical atlas of the Moksha language. The revealed facts can contribute to the study of the history of the Mordovian languages
