Lielie Tjapši (Ludza: Jānikülä or Sūreq Tsäpsiq[1]) is a small village in the extreme eastern part of Pilda, Latgale. The last native speakers of Ludza lived in Lielie Tjapši; the dialect persisted there because of Antoņina Nikonova, who was a passionate speaker of Ludza. Lielie Tjapši is very small and only has a few houses.[1][2]
