Proto-languages included: Proto-Slavic.

Dihovo Macedonian.

The dialect of the village Dihovo (situated near Bitola) belongs to the Western dialectal group. The

only source on the Dihovo dialect is [Groen 1977].

In the notes section, we quote lexical data from the Vevchani-Radozhda dialect (Western group) and

the Skopje koine. Both are very close to Dihovo with minimal discrepancies (see 'bird', 'feather', 'neck',

'to see', 'smoke', 'to swim') in the Swadesh wordlist. The only source on Vevchani-Radozhda is

[Hendriks 1976]. The main source on Skopje koine are the field records [Evdokimova 2009] (110-

item wordlist, compiled in accordance with our semantic specifications, Skopje, 2009); Skopje forms

are accompanied with references to the dictionary of Literary Macedonian [Tolovski & Illich-Svitych

1963] plus the literary grammar [Lunt 1952].

Three Dihovo Swadesh items are missing from [Groen 1977]: 'to kill', 'round', 'thin'. In such cases, it

seems sufficiently justified to fill the slot with the corresponding term from the Vevchani-Radozhda

dialect.

The following transliterational chart covers our principal sources:

Gorno Kalenik Macedonian

The list provided below is based on Hill’s 1991 description. The Macedonian dialect spoken in the

village of Gorno Kalenik (Greek: Άνω Καλλινίκη) belongs to the Lerin subdialect of the Southwestern

Macedonian dialect.

All verbs are given in the 3rd person singular form.

The following words are not attested in the dictionary: 'bark', 'fat', 'swim'.

Note 1: Stress usually falls on the penultimate syllable, but there are numerous exceptions and it

cannot be regarded as fully fixed.

Note 2: Under Greek influence d is realized as ð between two vowels, between an approximant or r

and a vowel, or a vowel and v. This ð is often deleted. Another Greek-influenced change is

fricativization: g > ɣ. But since the last two changes occur inconsistently, we do not reflect this in the

transcription.

Orbanići Čakavian.

The Orbanići dialect was recorded by J. Kalsbeek, mainly from 1980 to 1984. Orbanići is a village

with fewer than 100 inhabitants, situated near the town of Žminj.

According to the most wide accepted classification the Chakavian dialect is divided into six

subdialects: buzetski / gornjomiranski; jugozapadni istarski / štakavsko-čakavski; sjevernočakavski /

ekavskočakavski; srednjočakavski / ikavsko-ekavski čakavski; južnočakavski / ikavskočakavski;

lastovski / jekavskočakavski [Brozović & Ivić 1988: 87-88].

The Orbanići lect belongs to the Southern Istrian Chakavian subdialect (jugozapadni istarski /

štakavsko-čakavski) according to the Brozović & Ivić’s classification.

The Orbanići dialect was recorded by J. Kalsbeek in standard Croatian orthography:

The Orbanići dialect differentiates between long and short vowels. Short vowels can only take ictus,

while long vowels can take rising (ǎ) and falling (â) stress. Long vowels can also occur in the pre-

tonic position.

Orlec Čakavian.

The transcription system is identical to the system used by J. Kalsbeek for the Orbanići dialect.

The Cres lect belongs to the Northern Chakavian subdialect (sjevernočakavski / ekavskočakavski)

according to the Brozović & Ivić’s classification.

Note: the phoneme 'g' can be realized both as a velar stop or a velar fricative [Houtzagers 1985: 14].

Vrgada Chakavian

The Vrgada lect belongs to the Southern Chakavian subdialect (južnočakavski / ikavskočakavski)

according to Brozović & Ivić’s classification.

The main differences between Jurišić's transcription and the MosLex are as follows:

ć = č, h = x, ń = ɲ , ļ = ʎ, j = y, e = ɛ, o = ɔ, oā = ɒː, V

 = Vː.

The tones are transcribed in the following way: ȁ = â, ȃ = âː, ã = ǎː, a

 = , â = .

Devínska Nová Ves Čakavian

The material was taken from the 1927 book by Václav Vážný, describing the dialect of Burgenland

Chakavians who had settled in Slovakia near Bratislava in the 16th century. Most of the material was

written down by Vážný around 1923-1926 in Devínska Nová Ves (today a part of Bratislava). The

rest of the material originates from the neighbouring villages of Dúbravka and Lamač.

In four cases when the word is not attested in the Vážný’s dictionary ('burn', 'fat', 'round', 'sand', 'near')

we resorted to the help of Balaž’s amateur dictionary.

Vážný's transcription is transliterrated as follows:

Note 1: Glottal stop automatically occurs in word-initial (pre-vocalic) position.

Note 2: Rising intonation in the diphthongs ie and uo is designated by the grave sign on the second

part of the diphthong, and the falling intonation is designated by the grave sign on the first part of the

diphthong.

Note 3: Balaž uses ː as a length sign. Stressed vowels are underlined in his dictionary (without

differentiation of tones).

Burgenland Kajkavian.

We present a list for the Kajkavian dialect, written down by P. Houtzagers in 1985-1994 in the

Hungarian villages Hidegség and Fertőhomok, situated near the Austrian border and populated with

descendants of Croatian migrants, who most probably originated from what is today Kraljeva Velika

and Međurić [Houtzagers 1999: 20-25].

2) Voiceless consonants (except for h) in the intervocalic position after a short stressed vowel (except

for ä) are geminated [Houtzagers 1999: 58].

3) Word-final consonants are usually produced as voiced. The exceptions are h, z and ž, which are

mostly pronounced as voiceless.

Kostel Slovenian.

The material collected by Jože Gregorič (1908-1989) comes from the southern part of the Kostel

dialect, mostly from his native village Delač (SLA point 282). The nearest OLA point is Babno Polje

(No. 13). The Kostel dialect (kostelsko narečje) is a part of the Lower Carniolan dialect group

(dolenjska narečna skupina).

Meanings in the dictionary are usually assigned according to the Slovar slovenskega knjižnega jezika

(the dictionary of the literary Slovene language) model, which is usually redundant for our purposes,

so we do not reflect it completely in the commentaries.

The Kostel dialect forms are written down in the Standard Slovene Dialectological Transcription. The

main differences between it and the MosLex, which affect the Kostel dialect forms provided below,

are:

ẹ = e

, ė = e

Zatolmin Slovenian.

Zatolmin is SLA point 072. Meanings in the dictionary are often assigned in a quite incongruous way

(cf. the case of {mˈiːəsc} 'month' below), so we do not reflect them in full accordance with it in the

commentaries.

The Zatolmin dialect forms are written down in the Standard Slovene Dialectological Transcription.

The main differences between it and the MosLex, which affect the Zatolmin dialect forms provided

below, are:

ie = yɛ, uo = wɔ, ƀ = β, đ = ð, χ = x, j = y, u

 = w.

Gailtal Slovenian.

The list provided below is based almost exclusively on Tĳmen Pronk's description. Pronk's records

were made mostly with Johanna Hebein (born 1923 in Süßenberg near Egg, after marriage lived in

Potschach) and some other informants from Potschach (Potoče in Standard Slovene) and Egg bei

Hermagor (Brdo pri Šmohorju in Standard Slovene). This area is a part of the Gailtal dialect (ziljsko

narečje), which belongs to the Carinthian dialect group (koroška narečna skupina).

It should be noted that Potschach is point 146 in the OLA (Common Slavic Linguistic Atlas) and Egg

is point 001 in the SLA (Slovene Linguistic Atlas).

Note 1: β is realized as b before m and w. Before and after back vowels and in word-final position

there is free variation between β and b [Pronk 2009: 30-31].

Note 2: d can be realized as d or ð (free variation) before front vowels and a [Pronk 2009: 31].

Note 3: h is realized as ɦ word-initially and as ɦ or χ elsewhere [Pronk 2009: 31].

Note 4: in some positions a glottal stop may optionally occur there [Pronk 2009: 32-33]. But sinxw it

is not obligatory, we do not reflect it in the transcription.

Note 5: Two tones, traditionally written down as acute and circumflex, are described by Pronk as high

pitched accent and low pitched accent respectively [Pronk 2009: 18-19]; we follow his description.

Prlekĳa Slovenian.

The material collected by Bernard Rajh comes from the villages of Brengova and Cenkova. The

Prlekĳa dialect (prleško narečje) is a part of the Pannonian dialect group (panonska narečna skupina).

The following words are not attested in the dictionary: 'bark', 'round'.

Rajh writes down headwords and examples in the standardized form (poknjižena oblika). Each

headword is also accompanied by its transcription (based on the Standard Slovene Dialectological

Transcription, but with a few differences). In the table below we use the transcribed versions of the

Prlekĳa forms as default ones, if they exist as headwords; otherwise they are written down in the

standardized version.

Mistřice Moravian.

The list below represents the dialect of the Moravian village Mistřice (with use of material from

nearby villages) situated close to Uherské Hradiště, Slovácko ethnographic region.

The closest OLA point to Mistřice is Polešovice (point 200) which is about 16 km from Mistřice on

the straightaway.

Eight items are absent from Malina's dictionary. Four of these gaps were filled with the help of OLA

and ČJA data: 'feather', 'liver', 'round' and 'worm'. We did not manage to fill in four other gaps: 'cloud',

'fat', 'mountain' and 'sand'.

Malina used a modified version of Czech orthography, which we transliterate in the following way:

Pilisszántó Slovak.

The list presented below corresponds to the Pilisszántó village located near Budapest. Slovaks

presumably settled there in the beginning of the 18th century; inhabitants of the Little Carpathians,

speaking a West Slovak dialect, have a dominant positions. An additional adstrate, negligible for

lexicostatistical purposes, was introduced by inhabitants of the Inovec mountains (Western Slovak

dialect) and Javorie (Central Slovak dialect).

Więciórka Lesser Polish

The list is based on Kucała's dictionary which provides the material for three Polish villages:

Więciórka, Sidzina Górna (hereinafter SidG.) and Facimiech (Fac.). Since the Więciórka material

forms the pivot of the dictionary (Więciórka is Kucała's home village), we provide the Sidzina Górna

and Facimiech material only in comments. However, differences can be found only in the following

items: 'ashes', 'nail', 'tongue', 'moon', 'snake'. All of them except for 'ashes' represent cases when

indigenous forms are substituted by Standard Polish ones in Facimiech.

Turov Belarusian.

The selected lect of Blearusian is the Turov dialect, recorded during expeditions to the neighbourhood

of Turov (Southern Belarus) in the years 1967-1981 and reflected in the five-volume Turov dictionary

[TS 1-5].

The following settlements were investigated: Azdamičy, Aľhomieľ, Aľpieс, Aľšany, Veliamičy,

Karocičy, Lutki, Vialikaje Maliešava, Mačuľ, Ramieľ, Rubieľ, Siamhoscičy, Talmačava, Chotamieľ,

Cerabličy, Aziarany, Burazi, Biarežcy, Vierasnica, Dvarec, Zapiasočča, Liubavičy, Malaje Maliešava,

Varonin, Pahost, Rydča, Ryčoŭ, Siamuradcy, Staražoŭcy, Turov (Turaŭ), Chiľčycy, Černičy. In

DABM, the Turov dialect is represented by Zapiasočča (point 808).

In the pioneer works of Ye. Karskiy, Turov and its neighbourhood were not included in the area of

the Belarusian language. According to the later classification, it belongs to the Slutsk-Mazyr group

within the South-Western Belarusian dialect [Avanesaŭ 1964: 402].

The Turov dialect lacks the akanye and yakanye typical of the Belarusian language, but reflects such

innovations as the shift č > c, depalatalization of rʸ and affrication of tʸ and dʸ > cʸ and ʒʸ (although

some settlements lack the latter innovation).

The Turov dialect was recorded in the orthography of Standard Belarusian:

Note: The Turov dialect belongs to the group of dialects in which close-mid and open-mid vowels are

distinguished, cf. maps 34 and 35 in [DABM 1963]. Unfortunately, the dictionary does not mark this

difference, so we transcribe them in the most plausible way: o stressed in newly closed syllables, e

stressed in newly closed syllables and instead of etymological ě.

Deulino Russian.

The lect analysed here is the Deulino dialect, written down during expeditions to the neighbourhood

of Deulino (Ryazan region) in the years of 1960-1963 and reflected in the Deulino dictionary [DS

1969]. An audio example of the Deulino dialect can be found at:

http://dialekt.rx5.ru/dialect/audio/072a

The Deulino dialect was written down in the Russian dialectological transcription:

Proto-Slavic.

The Proto-Slavic list was adapted from Kassian et al. 2021. We proceed from the tree published in

Kushniarevich et al. 2015 which implies an initial three-way split into the West, East and South

subgroups. We adhere to the modern reconstruction of the Proto-Slavic vowels as it is described in

Kiparsky 1963; Kassian 2001 and some other authors. In brackets, the traditional Slavistic

reconstruction is offered. The only exception is the Proto-Slavic monophthong *iː and the diphthong

*ey — both are transcribed as *iː (= traditional Slavistic notation {*i}), because the currently available

inner Slavic evidence for discriminating between Proto-Slavic *iː and Proto-Slavic *ey is relatively

weak and requires additional investigation.

Correlations with the linguistic atlases.

Very useful material is provided by the Common Slavic Linguistic Atlas (OLA), partly available at:

http://www.slavatlas.org/publications.html

The geographical correlation between the OLA and our lists are: Resian Slovene - Stolvizza (OLA

point 1) located at 5 km from San Giorgio; Potschach (Gailtal Slovene) is OLA point 146; Orbanići

Chakavian - Žminj (OLA point 22) located at about 15 km from Orbanići; Orlec Chakavian – Cres

(OLA point 23) located at 3,5 km from Orlec; Dihovo Macedonian is OLA point 101; Burgenland

Kajkavian - Fertőhomok is OLA point 153; Mistřice Moravian - Polešovice (OLA point 200) located

at about 16 km from Mistřice; Więciórka is OLA point 311; Zapiasočča is OLA point 389; Deulino is

OLA point 768.

In the published OLA issues the following Swadesh list items occurred (Ph for the phonetic issues

and L for the lexical ones): ashes – Ph6, map 9; belly – L9, map 50; black – Ph3, map 28; breast –
