(Redirected from Prizren-Timok dialect)
Map of Shtokavian subdialects, according to Pavle Ivić (1988 book). The Prizren-Timok dialects are shown in three colours in the southeastern corner.

The Prizren–Timok dialect (Serbo-Croatian: призренско–тимочки дијалект / prizrensko–timočki dijalekt) is the name given by Serbian linguists to classify transitional Torlakian dialects spoken in Eastern and South Serbia and Kosovo — an area spanning from Prizren in the south to the Timok River in the north — as subdialects of Old-Shtokavian. Its eastern border, starting from Zaječar, roughly forms the border with Bulgaria.

Subdialects

  • Prizren–South Morava subdialect (призренско–јужноморавски поддијалект / prizrensko–južnomoravski poddijalekt)
    • Vranje speech (врањански говор / vranjanski govor)
    • Gora speech (горански говор / goranski govor)
  • Svrljig–Zaplanje subdialect (сврљишко–заплањски поддијалект / svrljiško–zaplanjski poddijalekt)
  • Timok–Lužnica subdialect (тимочко–лужнички поддијалект / timočko–lužnički poddijalekt)
    • Pirot speech (пиротски говор / pirotski govor)
    • Crna Trava speech (црнотравски говор / crnotravski govor)
    • Lužnica speech (лужнички говор / lužnički govor)
