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] |
Rovte Dialect Group
The Rovte dialect group (''rovtarska narečna skupina'', ''rovtarščina'') is a group of closely related dialects of Slovene. The Rovte dialects are spoken in the mountainous areas of west-central Slovenia, on the border between the Slovenian Littoral, Upper Carniola, and Inner Carniola, in a triangle between the towns of Tolmin, Škofja Loka, and Vrhnika. Phonological and morphological characteristics Among other features, this group is characterized by shortening of long diphthongal ''ie'' and ''uo'', akanye, and general development of ''g'' to .

Most Na Soči
Most na Soči (; formerly ''Sveta Lucija'' or ''Sveta Lucija na Mostu'', german: Sankt Luzia) is a town in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It is located on a rocky crest above the confluence of Soča and Idrijca rivers. In the past these two riverbeds, deeply carved into the rocky slopes, provided the settlement with excellent protection from intruders. Due to the nearby Doblar hydro plant, the basins of the river were entirely inundated and below the settlement a vast reservoir was formed, which now attracts both fishermen and visitors, who can stroll along some well-kept panoramic paths. Name Most na Soči was first attested as ''In Ponte Sancti Mauri'' (literally, 'at Saint Maurus' bridge') in reference to the local church.Svoljšak, Drago. 1993. "Most na Soči." ''Enciklopedija Slovenije'', vol. 7, pp. 223–225. Ljubljana: Mladinska knjiga. In the 17th century, the name ''ad Pontem'' 'at the bridge' was recorded, and a church built between 1584 ...

Grahovo Ob Bači
Grahovo ob Bači (; it, Gracova Serravalle) is a village on the Bača River in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. Name The name of the settlement was changed from ''Grahovo'' to ''Grahovo ob Bači'' (literally, 'Grahovo on the Bača River') in 1955. The name is believed to have the same origin as Grahovo in the Municipality of Cerknica. If so, it is probably derived from the personal name ''Grah'', which is still preserved as a surname in Slovenia and is probably borrowed from the Old High German name ''Gracco''. The place name would thus mean 'Grah's (village)'. Another possible derivation is from the common noun ''*grahovišče'' 'pea field' via the contracted form ''*grahovše''. Direct derivation from the Slovene common noun ''grah'' 'pea' is unlikely because of the rarity of such names and the suffixation pattern. Church The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Koper Diocese. Other cultural heritage The ...

Pitch Accent
A pitch-accent language, when spoken, has word accents in which one syllable in a word or morpheme is more prominent than the others, but the accentuated syllable is indicated by a contrasting pitch ( linguistic tone) rather than by loudness (or length), as in many languages, like English. Pitch-accent also contrasts with fully tonal languages like Vietnamese and Standard Chinese, in which each syllable can have an independent tone. Some have claimed that the term "pitch accent" is not coherently defined and that pitch-accent languages are just a sub-category of tonal languages in general. Languages that have been described as pitch-accent languages include: most dialects of Serbo-Croatian, Slovene, Baltic languages, Ancient Greek, Vedic Sanskrit, Tlingit, Turkish, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish (but not in Finland), Western Basque,Hualde, J.I.

Čiginj
Čiginj () is a settlement south of Volče in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia. Name The etymology of the name ''Čiginj'' is unclear. It is believed to be of Romance origin, and it may show a Romance reflex of Latin adjective ''calcīnus'' 'stone, lime'. History During the Second World War, the Italian authorities operated a concentration camp at Čiginj before the Gonars concentration camp The Gonars concentration camp was one of the several Italian concentration camps and it was established on February 23, 1942, near Gonars, Italy.
