The Upper Carniolan dialect (Slovene: gorenjsko narečje[gɔˈɾèːnskɔnaˈɾéːt͡ʃjɛ],[1]gorenjščina[2]) is a major Slovene dialect, known for extensive syncope, monophthongization of diphthongs, and loss of neuter gender. It is spoken in most (but not all) of Upper Carniola, along the Sava River.[3] It is one of the two central Slovene dialects and was also used as a written language from the 17th century onward, and especially in the second half of the 18th century.[4] It borders the Selca, Škofja Loka, and Horjul dialects to the south, the Tolmin dialect to the southwest, the Soča dialect to the west, the Gail Valley dialect to the northwest, the Rosen Valley and Ebriach dialects to the north, the Upper Savinja dialect to the northeast, the Central Savinja dialect to the east, and the Lower Sava Valley and Lower Carniolan dialects to the southeast. The eastern part of the dialect is the Eastern Upper Carniolan subdialect. The dialect belongs to the Upper Carniolan dialect group, and it evolved from Upper Carniolan dialect base.[3][5]
