Gottscheerish ( Göttscheabarisch , German : Gottscheerisch , Slovene : kočevarščina ) is an Upper German dialect which was the main language of communication among the Gottscheers in the enclave of Gottschee , Slovenia , before 1941. It is occasionally referred to as Granish or Granisch in the United States (< German Krainisch ' Carniolan '), a term also used for Slovene .
14-804: Gottscheerish belongs to Southern Bavarian within the Bavarian dialect group. The Bavarian dialects of Carinthia are closest to it. Gottscheerish shares a lot of properties with the Bavarian dialects of the German language islands of the eastern Alps , among them Cimbrian in Veneto , Sappada (Pladen), and Timau (Tischelwang) in Friuli-Venezia Giulia , and Sorica (Zarz) in Upper Carniola (Slovenia).

42-507: Is a monosyllabic vowel combination involving a quick but smooth movement of the articulator from one vowel quality to another that passes over a third. While "pure" vowels, or monophthongs , are said to have one target articulator position, diphthongs have two and triphthongs three. Triphthongs are not to be confused with disyllabic sequences of a diphthong followed by a monophthong, as in German Feuer [ˈfɔʏ.ɐ] 'fire', where

112-567: The final vowel is longer than those found in triphthongs. Triphthongs that feature close elements typically analyzed as /j/ and /w/ in phonology are not listed. For instance, the Polish word łój [wuj] 'tallow' is typically analyzed as /CVC/ - a sequence of a consonant followed by a vowel and another consonant. This is because the palatal approximant is resyllabified in some inflected forms, such as łojami [wɔˈjami] (instr. pl.), and also because /w/ occurs word-finally after

Everyday language in the family and elsewhere is English and German or the local dialect, respectively. In Slovenia, there are some families who preserved Gottscheerish in spite of the ban after World War II. Today, however, there are probably no more children learning it as first language. Most Gottscheerish speakers live in Moschnitze valley (Črmošnjiško-Poljanska dolina) between Kočevske Poljane and Črmošnjice , where some Gottscheer families collaborated with

The phonological inventory here is based on Hans Tschinkel's 1908 grammar. Tschinkel does not explicitly distinguish between phonemic and phonetic status. Consonants in parentheses are either phonetic/positional variants, idiolect variants, or dialect variants. In
