Panagyurishte dialect
The Panagyurishte dialect is a Bulgarian dialect, which is part of the Balkan group of the Eastern Bulgarian dialects. Its range includes the town of Panagyurishte, as well as a number of neighbouring villages. The most significant feature of the dialect, as in all Balkan dialects, is the pronunciation of Old Church Slavonic ѣ (yat) as ʲa or ɛ, depending on the character of the following syllable.
Phonological and morphological characteristics
- Transition of ʲu into i: клич vs. formal Bulgarian клʲyч
- Pronunciation of Old Church Slavonic groups ръ/рь and лъ/ль only as ър (ər) and ъл (əl) instead of formal Bulgarian ръ/ър (rə~ər) and лъ/ъл (lə~əl) - сълнце vs. formal Bulgarian слънце (sun), кърчма vs. formal Bulgarian кръчма (pub)
- Hard consonant endings, especially in verbs: молъ instead of formal Bulgarian мол҄ъ [1] (I ask)
Most of the other phonological and morphological characteristics of the Panagyurishte dialect are similar to the general features typical for all Balkan dialects, cf. article.
