Rosen Valley dialect

The Rosen Valley dialect (Slovene: rožansko narečje,^[1] rožanščina^[2]) is a Slovene dialect in the Carinthian dialect group. It is spoken in the Rosen Valley^{[Note 1]} (German: Rosental, Slovene: Rož) of Austria, west of a line from Villach to Faak am See and east of a line from Sittersdorf and Lake Klopein to Brückl, excluding the Ebriach dialect area to the southeast. Settlements in the dialect area include Wernberg, , Velden am Wörthersee, Ludmannsdorf, Köttmannsdorf, , Grafenstein, , and Rosegg (all north of the Drava River), and Sankt Jakob im Rosental, Feistritz im Rosental, , Ferlach, Zell, and Gallizien (south of the Drava River).^[6]^[7]

Phonological and morphological characteristics[]

The Rosen Valley dialect has pitch accent and is distinguished by the preservation of the accent on short syllables following short e and o. The dialect has diphthongs of the type iə < long jat and uə < long o, akanye of e, and development of velar k, g > uvular q, χ, and palatalization of k, g, h > č, ž, š before front vowels. The dialect lacks standard the Slovene morphophonemic alternation between [l] and [w]; for example, [piu̯], [piu̯a] instead of [piu̯], [pila] 'drank' (masc., fem.), a phenomenon known as švapanje in Slovene.^[6]

Notes[]

^ Unlike the Gail Valley, the Rosen Valley is not named after a river, but after the defunct microtoponym Rasa.^[3] The German name can be found deconstructed as Rosen Valley in English in various works.^[4]^[5]
