Jaun Valley dialect

The Jaun Valley dialect (Slovene: podjunsko narečje,^[1] podjunščina^[2]) is a Slovene dialect in the Carinthian dialect group. It is primarily spoken in the Jaun Valley^{[Note 1]} (German: Jauntal, Slovene: Podjuna) of Austria as well as in Strojna and Libeliče, Slovenia. It is spoken west of a line from Diex to Völkermarkt to Eberndorf, east of Sittersdorf, and north of the Ebriach dialect. Major settlements in the dialect area are Griffen, Kühnsdorf, Globasnitz, Bleiburg, and Lavamünd.^[6]^[7]

Phonological and morphological characteristics

The Jaun Valley dialect has

Proto-Slavic nasal vowels, long ə > a, Proto-Slavic a > ɔ, ła > wa, the phoneme /w/ is preserved, and šč > š. The addition of š- before deictics in t- (e.g., štam for tam 'there'; known as štekanje in Slovene) is typical. The dialects contains a number of subdialects, primarily differing from north to south, but also from east to west to some extent.^[6]

Notes

^ Unlike the Gail Valley, the Jaun Valley is not named after a river, but after the ancient Roman settlement of Juenna.^[3] Nonetheless, the German name has been traditionally deconstructed as Jaun Valley in English for well over a century^[4] and continues to be used today.^[5]
