The Rižana subdialect (rižanski govor,[1] rižansko podnarečje[2]) is a Slovene subdialect of the Istrian dialect in the Littoral dialect group.
It is spoken in Italy in most of the municipalities of San Dorligo della Valle and Muggia (Milje) south of Trieste, as well as in some southern suburbs of Trieste (especially Servola); in Slovenia, it is spoken in the northern part of Slovene Istria, in the Rižana Valley east and north of Koper, including the settlements of Bertoki, Dekani, Osp, Črni Kal, Presnica, Podgorje, and Zazid.
Secondary palatalization of the velars k g h has arisen before front vowels.
The two subdialects share many lexical features, with many loanwords from Romance languages.
