Migration is a constant in Brazil and the main purpose of that process is the man’s search for better opportunities, especially socioeconomic. In linguistic terms, the migratory process expresses dialectal marks and it has been the object of study of the most current theoretical-methodological schools under the title of diatopic-kinetic variable. The present study analyzes the designations obtained for the questioning QSL 019: neblina, neve, nevoeiro (‘fog’, ‘snow’, ‘mist’), obtained for the Linguistic Topodynamic and Topostatic Atlas of Tocantins (Silva, 2018), along with 96 informants. As a result, the neve (‘snow’) variant indicates sedimented marks of the arrival of migrants from the Brazilian Northeast to Tocantins
