Vidin-Lom Dialect - Phonological and Morphological Characteristics

Phonological and Morphological Characteristics

  • Ending -м for 1st person sing. present time in all verbs - четем, пишем instead of formal Bulgarian чета, пиша (I read, I write)
  • Future tense particle че instead of ще - че идем, че направим instead of formal Bulgarian ще ида, ще направя (I will come, I will do). However, with the exception of the future tense particle, all other reflexes of Proto-Slavic *tʲ/*dʲ are usually щ/жд (ʃt/ʒd), as in Standard Bulgarian
  • Personal pronoun йа for 1st person sing. and он for 3rf person sing. (instead of аз and той in Standard Bulgarian)

Most other phonological and morphological characteristics of the dialect are the same as the general features typical for all Northwestern Bulgarian dialects (cf. article for details).
