Prizren–Timok dialect

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.

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