Mixed Kočevje Subdialects
Mixed Kočevje subdialects () is a catch-all category for the Slovene dialects of heterogeneous origin now spoken in the Kočevje region, between Goteniška Gora in the west and the Kočevje Rog Plateau in the east, and spanning as far south as the border with Croatia border. The microdialects are very poorly studied, but they are very close to standard Slovene. The subdialects border the North White Carniolan dialect to the east, South White Carniolan dialect to the southwest, Kostel dialect to the south, Čabranka dialect to the west, and Lower Carniolan dialect to the north. The subdialects are derived from many different dialect bases, but they are currently listed as a special group of subdialects in the Lower Carnolan dialect group. Geographical distribution The Mixed Kočevje subdialects are spoken where Gottschee Germans used to live; this is around Kočevje, east somewhat past the Kočevje Rog Plateau to Črmošnjice and Komarna Vas, north to Stari Log and Lo ...
