The Bitola-Prilep dialect (Template:Lang-mk, Bitolsko-prilepski dijalekt) is a member of the central subgroup of the western group of dialects of the Macedonian language. This dialect is mainly spoken in the towns of Bitola and Prilep and in surrounding areas in the Republic of Macedonia, as well as by the Slavic-speaking minority population in and around Florina (Lerin) in neighbouring Greek Macedonia. The Prilep-Bitola dialect, along with other peripheral west-central dialects, provides much of the basis for modern Standard Macedonian.

Phonological characteristics

The phonological characteristics of the Bitola-Prilep dialect which also can also be found in the other peripheral dialects are:

antepenultimate word stress (see Macedonian phonology)
the yat has reflexed into
absence of the intervocalic
- in the plural forms of monosyllabic nouns, e.g. лебо(в)и:
  - (→ ) →
- and in most other positions, e.g. то(в)ар:
  - (→ ) →
In the sub-dialect of Bukovo-Orehovo, especially among the oldest generations:
- replaces in some words, e.g. for (глава, "head") and for (слама, "straw"))
- the etymological mutates (raised) to ( ~ ) when preceding an affricate or iotated consonant, e.g. for (чаша, "cup")

Morphological characteristics

three definite articles pertaining to the position of the object (see Macedonian grammar)
the third-person personal pronouns: тој, таа, тоа, тие (he, she, it, they)
imperfective verbs are typically derived from perfective verbs by means of the suffix –ва (e.g. зборва and боледва)
'expansion' where other dialects have palatalization: падина ("to fall", sing. present third-person) versus the standard паѓа)
the use of the inflectional suffix -и in third-person singular verbs (e.g. можи and биди versus the standard може and биде)
use of the oblique form for proper names
no distinction between masculine and feminine short possessive pronouns, i.e. consistent use of му and го for both genders and also the plural third person

Typical Words

Чупе – girl
Преѓе(ска) – recently, lately
Модистра – seamstress

Typical words from the Lerin sub-dialect

Пл'усна - fire a rifle
Капнат - thirsty
Гренди - timber
