Našinski dialect

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Našinski dialect (dt. Our language ), also Gorani , is a variant of the South Slavic Torlak . It is spoken by the Gorans in Kosovo , Albania and Macedonia .

grammar

The grammar is similar to Serbian , Macedonian and Bulgarian . The letters š, đ, č, ć, ž are also present in the dialect. There are still some special sounds in the spoken dialect.

Like Serbian, the Našinski dialect is one of the inflected languages , i.e. H. that nouns , as well as pronouns , adjectives and verbs are inflected. Like Serbian, it has no articles. The nominal inflection is complex like that of Serbian and much richer than that of Bulgarian , which has lost much of it. The verbal inflection and verb tenses are as complex in Serbia.

Like Serbian , the dialect distinguishes between cases ( case ), which are based on gender (gender of the word, i.e. masculine, feminine or neuter ) and number (number of the word, i.e. singular , timpani and plural ). The cases are nominative , genitive , dative , accusative , vocative , locative and instrumental .
