Upper Carniolan dialect group

The Upper Carniolan dialect group (gorenjska narečna skupina[1]) is a group of closely related dialects of Slovene.

[2] Among other features, this group is characterized by monophthongal stressed vowels, an acute semivowel, pitch accent, standard circumflex shift, and two accentual retractions with some exceptions.

It features narrowing of o and e in preaccentual position, akanye (reduction of o to a) in postaccentual position, and strong syncope.

There is a partial development of g to [ɣ], preservation of bilabial w, and general hardening of soft l and n.[3] This Slovenia-related article is a stub.
