The Gorani or Našinski (literally meaning "our language") language is the variety of South Slavic spoken by the Gorani people in the border area between Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia. It is part of the Torlakian dialect group〔Browne, Wayles (2002): Serbo-Croat. In: Bernard Comrie, Greville G. Corbett (eds.), ''The Slavonic Languages''. London: Taylor & Francis. (). p. 383〕 which is the transitional dialect between Eastern and Western South Slavic languages. ==Distribution and classification== The dialect is spoken across the Gora region. It is spoken in 19 villages in Kosovo, 11 in Albania and two in the Republic of Macedonia. In Kosovo and Macedonia it is written in either the Serbian or Macedonian Cyrillic Alphabets, whereas in Albania, the Latin Albanian alphabet is used. In the 1991 Yugoslav census, 54.8% of the inhabitants of the Gora municipality said that they spoke the Goranian language, roughly in proportion to the number who considered themselves ethnic Gorani. In the same census a little less than half of the inhabitants of Gora described their language as Serbian.〔(Goran speech by dr. Radivoje Mladenovic )〕 The dialect is related to the neighbouring Prizren–South Morava dialect area to the northeast, which comprises the Serbian/Torlakian varieties spoken in the southern half of Kosovo and in southeastern Serbia, as well as to the northernmost dialects of Macedonia. In the context of Macedonian dialectology, it is described as having particular close links to the Lower Polog dialect of the Polog and Tetovo regions,〔B. Koneski (1983), ''A Historical Phonology of the Macedonian Language by Blaže Koneski''〕 which are situated just opposite the Gora area on the other side of the Šar Mountains. Goranian has also been classified as a part of the Bulgarian dialect area, by Bulgarian〔Младенов, Стефан.

Journey through Macedonia and Pomoraviya, in: Scientific expeditions in Macedonia and Pomoraviya 1916, Sofia 1993, p. 184) (Асенова, Петя.

Климент Охридски”, ФСлФ, София, 17-19 май 2004 ) (Assenova, Petya. Archaisms and Balkanisms in an isolated Bulgarian dialect (Kukas Gora, Albania), Balkan studies readings on the tenth anniversary of the major Balkan studies in Sofia University, May 17–19, 2004)〕 as well as some foreign anthropologists.〔(Albania: from anarchy to a Balkan identity, Miranda Vickers, James Pettifer, C. Hurst & Co. Publishers, 1997, ISBN 1-85065-279-1, p. 205. )〕 In 2007 the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences sponsored and printed the first Gorani–Albanian dictionary (with 43,000 words and phrases) by Goranian researcher Nazif Dokle, who considers the language a Bulgarian dialect.〔Dokle, Nazif. Reçnik Goransko (Nashinski) - Albanski, Sofia 2007, Peçatnica Naukini akademiji "Prof. Marin Drinov", s. 5, 11, 19 (Nazif Dokle. Goranian (Nashinski) - Albanian Dictionary, Sofia 2007, Published by Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, p. 5, 11, 19)〕 On the other hand, former Yugoslav linguists Vidoeski, Brozović and Ivić identify the Slavic dialect of the Gora region as Macedonian.〔http://www.seelrc.org:8080/grammar/mainframe.jsp?nLanguageID=3 Macedonian by Victor Friedman, pg 4 (footnote)〕 According to some sources in 2003 the Kosovo government acquired Macedonian language and grammar books to be taught in Gorani schools. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gora dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
