The Šavrin Hills subdialect (šavrinski govor,[1] šavrinščina,[2] šavrinsko podnarečje[3]) is a Slovene subdialect of the Istrian dialect in the Littoral dialect group.
It includes the settlements of Koper, Izola, Portorož, Sečovlje, Šmarje, Sočerga, and Rakitovec.
[3][4] Like the Rižana subdialect, the Šavrin Hills subdialect is based on characteristics of the Lower Carniolan and Littoral dialect groups.
The Šavrin Hills subdialect is additionally based on a mixture of Slovene, Croatian, and Serbian dialect elements connected with the settlement of the Uskoks in Istria in the 16th and 17th centuries.
