Solčava subdialect

The Solčava subdialect (solčavski govor[1]) is a Slovene subdialect in the Styrian dialect group. It is a subdialect of the Upper Savinja dialect spoken around Solčava and the Logar Valley.[2] It is the westernmost of the (sub)dialects in the Styrian dialect group.[3]

Phonological and morphological characteristics

The Solčava subdialect is partially influenced by Carinthian dialects.[4] The subdialect has the Upper Carniolan vowel system (except for the Upper Carniolan reflexes of long yers, here becoming e:/a:) and a slightly closer quality of e, becoming diphthongized to i:e. Secondarily accented e and o become e: and o:, as in Upper Carniolan. The reflex of short and secondarily accented ə is also the same as in Upper Carniolan.[5]
