Plotnikova-Andzhighatova did not have the opportunity to speak Kamassian after 1950 because she did not know anyone else who could speak it. Despite that, her Kamassian skills were fairly good, and she was a great help to philologists for the rest of her life. Plotnikova-Andzhighatova spoke fluent [[Russian language|Russian]], which she had learned in early childhood. With the decline of her native language, Russian became her only language. This affected her Kamas skills, especially her pronunciation, vocabulary, and sentence structures. Russian influence especially showed in her sentence structures and use of vocabulary: many [[morphology (linguistics)|morphologic]] forms and syntactic structures fell into disuse.<ref name="Abondolo">D.
