The subdialect has the Upper Carniolan vowel system (except for the Upper Carniolan reflexes of long yer A yer is either of two letters in Cyrillic alphabets, ъ (ѥръ, ''jerŭ'') and ь (ѥрь, ''jerĭ''). The Glagolitic alphabet used, as respective counterparts, the letters (Ⱏ) and (Ⱐ).

Slovene Dialects
In a purely dialectological sense, Slovene dialects ( sl, slovenska narečja , ) are the regionally diverse varieties that evolved from old Slovene, a South Slavic language of which the standardized modern version is Standard Slovene. This also includes several dialects in Croatia, most notably the so-called Western Goran dialect, which is actually Kostel dialect. In reality, speakers in Croatia self-identify themselves as speaking Croatian, which is a result of a ten centuries old country border passing through the dialects since the Francia. In addition, two dialects situated in Slovene (and the speakers self identify as speaking Slovene) did not evolve from Slovene (left out in the map on the right). The Čičarija dialect is a chakavian dialect and parts of White Carniola were populated by Serbs during the Turkish invasion and therefore Shtokavian is spoken there. Spoken Slovene is often considered to have at least 48 dialects () and 13 subdialects (). The exact number of d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Solčava
Solčava (; German: ''Sulzbach'') is a village in the Upper Savinja Valley in northern Slovenia close to the Austrian border. It is the largest settlement and the seat of the Municipality of Solčava. Traditionally it belonged to the region of Styria and is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region. Name Solčava was attested in written sources as ''Sulçpach'' in 1268 (and as ''Sulzpach'' in 1306 and ''Sulzbach'' in 1491). In the local dialect, the village is called ''Žocpah'', and in the 19th century its Slovene name was recorded as ''Žolcpah'', ''Sušpach'', and ''Solcpah''—all based on the German name. The German name is a compound corresponding to ''Sulze'' 'mineral springs' + ''Bach'' 'creek', referring to the local geography. The modern Slovene name ''Solčava'' was artificially created in the 19th century from the German name; the first half of the name was modified to ''Šolč-'' to appear more Slovene, and the second half was replaced with ''-ava'', a common suff ...

In 1987, the valley received protected status as a Landscape Park (protected area), landscape park encompassing . Geography The Logar Valley is a typical U-shaped glacial valley. It is divided into three parts.
