South White Carniolan dialect

The South White Carniolan dialect (Slovene: južnobelokranjsko narečje [juʒnɔbɛlɔˈkɾàːnskɔ naˈɾéːt͡ʃjɛ],^[1] južna belokranjščina,^[2] Serbo-Croatian: južnobelokrajinsko narječje) is a Slovene dialect heavily influenced by Shtokavian dialects.^[3] It is spoken in southern White Carniola, south of Dobliče and Griblje.^[3] However, it is not spoken in all the settlements in that area because some are almost completely inhabited by immigrants, and so Shtokavian heavily influenced by Slovene is instead spoken there.^[4][5] The dialect borders the North White Carniolan dialect to the north, the Prigorje dialect to the east, Central Chakavian to southeast, the Eastern Goran dialect to the south, the Kostel dialect to the southwest, and the mixed Kočevje subdialects to the northwest, as well as those mixed Shtokavian dialects.^[6][7] The dialect belongs to the Lower Carniolan dialect group, and it evolved from the Lower Carniolan dialect base.^[8][9]
