Prekmurje Slovene,also known as thePrekmurje dialect,East Slovene,orWendish(Slovene:prekmurščina, prekmursko narečje,Hungarian:vend nyelv, muravidéki nyelv,Prekmurje Slovene:prekmürski jezik, prekmürščina, prekmörščina, prekmörski jezik, panonska slovenščina), is the language ofPrekmurjeinEastern Slovenia,variety ofSlovene language,[2]part of thePannonian dialect group.[3]It is used in private communication, liturgy, publications by authors from Prekmurje.[4][5]and in media of television, radio and newspapers.[6][7][8][9]It is spoken in thePrekmurjeregion ofSloveniaand by theHungarian SlovenesinVas Countyin westernHungary.It is closely related to otherSlovene dialectsin neighboringSlovene Styria,as well as toKajkavianwith which it retains a considerable degree of mutual intelligibility and forms adialect continuumwith otherSouth Slavic languages.
Range
[edit]The Prekmurje Slovene is spoken by approximately 110,000 speakers worldwide.[1]80,000 inPrekmurje,20,000 dispersed in Slovenia (especiallyMariborandLjubljana) and 10,000 in other countries. In Hungary it is used by the Slovene-speaking minority in Vas County in and around the town ofSzentgotthárd.Other speakers of the dialect live in other Hungarian towns, particularlyBudapest,Szombathely,Bakony,andMosonmagyaróvár.The dialect was also spoken inSomogy(especially in the village ofTarany), but it has nearly disappeared in the last two centuries. There are some speakers inAustria,Germany,theUnited States,andArgentina.
Status
[edit]Prekmurje Slovene has a defined territory andbody of literature,and it is one of the few Slovene dialects in Slovenia that is still spoken by all strata of the local population.[10]Some speakers have claimed that it is a separate language. Prominent writers in Prekmurje Slovene, such asMiklós Küzmics,[10]István Küzmics,Ágoston Pável,József Klekl Senior,[11]andJózsef Szakovics,have claimed that it is a language, not simply a dialect.Evald Flisar,a writer, poet, and playwright from Prekmurje (Goričko), states that people from Prekmurje "talk in our own language."[10]It also had a written standard and literary tradition, both of which were largely neglected afterWorld War II.There were attempts to publish in it more widely in the 1990s, primarily in Hungary,[12]and there has been a revival of literature in Prekmurje Slovene since the late 1990s.
Others consider Prekmurje Slovene aregional language,without denying that it is part of Slovene.[clarification needed][who?]The linguistJanko Dularhas characterized Prekmurje Slovene as a "local standard language" for historical reasons,[13]as has the Prekmurje writerFeri Lainšček.However, Prekmurje Slovene is not recognized as a language by Slovenia or Hungary, nor does it enjoy any legal protection under theEuropean Charter for Regional or Minority Languages,although in 2016 the General Maister Society (Društvo General Maister) proposed that primary schools offer education in the Prekmurje Slovene[14][15]and some regional politicians and intellectuals advocate Prekmurje Slovene.[16]
Together withResian,Prekmurje Slovene is the only Slovene dialect with a literary standard that has had a different historical development from the rest of Slovene ethnic territory. For centuries, it was used as a language of religious education, as well as in the press and mass.[17]The historicalHungarianname for theSlovenesliving within the borders of theKingdom of Hungary(as well as for the Slovenians in general) wasVendek,or the Wends. In the 18th and 19th centuries Prekmurje authors used to designate this language variety assztári szlovenszki jezik'old Slovene'. Both then and now, it is also referred to as the "Slovene language between the Mura and Raba"(Slovenščina med Muro in Rabo; Slovenski jezik med Mürov i Rábov).
Prekmurje Slovene is widely used in the regional media (Murski Val Radio, Porabje, Slovenski utrinki), films,[18]literature. The younger generation also write SMS messages and web comments in their local tongue. In the Prekmurje and Hungary a few streets, shops, hotels, etc. have Prekmurje Slovene names.[19][20]In the2012 protests in Sloveniain Murska Sobota the protesters use Prekmurje Slovene banners.[21]It is the liturgical language in the Lutheran and Pentecostal churches, and in the Catholic Church of Hungarian Slovenes.Marko Jesenšek,a professor at theUniversity of Maribor,states that the functionality of Prekmurje Slovene is limited, but "it lives on in poetry and journalism."[22]
Linguistic features
[edit]Prekmurje Slovene is part of the Pannonian dialect group (Slovene:panonska narečna skupina), also known as the eastern Slovene dialect group (vzhodnoslovenska narečna skupina). Prekmurje Slovene shares many common features with the dialects ofHaloze,Slovenske Gorice,andPrlekija,with which it is completely mutually intelligible. It is also closely related to theKajkavian dialectofCroatian,although mutual comprehension is difficult. Prekmurje Slovene, especially its more traditional version spoken by the Hungarian Slovenes, is not readily understood by speakers from central and western Slovenia, whereas speakers from eastern Slovenia (Lower Styria) have much less difficulty understanding it. The early 20th-century philologistÁgoston Pávelstated that Prekmurje Slovene in fact it is a major, independent dialect of Slovene, from which it differs mostly in the relationships of stress, in intonation, in the softening of consonant and—as a result of the lack of lunguistic reform—in the striking dearth of modern vocabulary[23]and that it preserves many older features fromProto-Slavic language.
Orthography
[edit]Historically, Prekmurje Slovene was not written with theBohorič Alpha betused by Slovenes inInner Austria,but with aHungarian-based orthography.János Murkovics's textbook (1871) was the first book to useGaj's Latin Alphabet.
Before 1914:Aa, Áá, Bb, Cc, Cscs, Dd, Ee, Éé, Êê, Ff, Gg, Gygy, Hh, Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll, Lyly, Mm, Nn, Nyny, Oo, Ôô, Öö, Őő, Pp, Rr, Szsz, Ss, Tt, Uu, Üü, Űű, Vv, Zz, Zszs.

Phonology
[edit]Vowelöoccurs only in a few words as a variant of closedeorö.[24]It has plainain long stressed syllables and roundedain short stressed and unstressed syllables in Hill country (Goričko) and Lowland (Ravensko) dialect.[24]The relationship is reversed in the Lower Lowland (Dolinsko) dialect, where the long stressed a is rounded.[24]
Long vowels and most are diphtongs occur only stressed in syllables. If the stress shiftsm the vowel loses its lenght and the diphtong usually loses its glide, for ex.:Nom.Boug;Gen.Bogá.[24]
Diphtongs
[edit]Diphtongej(ei) is a short, closedeby a shorter, less fully articulatedi.For ex.dejte(child),bejžati(run),pejnezi(money),mlejko(milk),bejli(white).[25]
Diphtongouconsists of a shortoand a short, less fully articulatedu.For ex.rouka(hand),nouga(foot),goloub(dove),rour(chimney),gospoud(lord).
Prekmurian Slovene is very rich in diphtongsejandou.[25]The diphtongs found in various Slovene dialects, but phonetically is different from the diphtongs of Prekmurian Slovene. Theouandejdiphtongs was represented in the old Prekmurian literary language ortographically by separate signsêandôbut only in the books and newspapers of the Lutheran Slovenes.[26]
The diphtongouin northern Goričko subdialects (mostly near river Raba) and in the settlements along the Hungarian-Slovene border is reducated to theau.The Ravensko dialect and some Goričko subdialect have diphtongsüjoröj.[27]
Diphtongs in open syllables, if they occur in polysyllabic words, are broken up into their components,[28]for ex.Nom.sou(salt),Gen.soli;Nom.krau(king),Gen.krala.
Vowel alternations
[edit]a>e
Unstressedaandain a diphtong withiorjoften sounds like opene.[29]This system is typical mostly in the lower Lowland (Dolinsko) dialect, for ex.eli(or) (Ravensko, Goričko, Standard Slovene:ali),nezaj(back) (Ravensko, Goričko, Standard Slovene:nazaj),dele(forward) (Ravensko, Goričko:dale,Standard Slovene:dalje).

Ten comes first, followed by a one-digit number. They don't need a conjunction. In Standard Slovene the formation of numerals from 21 to 99, in which the unit is placed in front of the decade ( "four-and-twenty" ), as inGerman language.

Lexicon
[edit]The Prekmurian Slovene vocabulary is very rich[74]and is significantly different from the Standard Slovene vocabulary. The dialect includes many archaic words that have disappeared from modern Slovene. Along with the three dialects spoken in Venetian Slovenia and the Slovene dialects of eastern Carinthia, Prekmurje Slovene is considered the most conservative of all Slovene dialects with regard to vocabulary.[citation needed]
The Prekmurian Slovene greatly expanded its vocabulary from the other Slavic languages (mainly from Kajkavian Croatian, Standard Slovene, Styrian Slovene, Serbo-Croatian, partly from the Czech and Slovak) and non-Slavic languages (mainly from Hungarian and German,[75]partly from Latin and Italian).[76]The more recently borrowed and less assimilated words are typically from English.

History
[edit]Early history
[edit]The Prekmurje Slovene developed from the language of theCarantanian Slavswho settled aroundBalatonin the 9th century. Due to the political and geographical separation from other Slovene dialects (unlike most of contemporary Slovenia, which was part of theHoly Roman Empire,Prekmurje was under the authority of the Kingdom of Hungary for almost a thousand years), the Prekmurje Slovene acquired many specific features. Separated from the cultural development of the remainder of ethnic Slovene territory, the Slovenes in Hungary gradually forged their own specific culture and also their own literary language.
In the end of the 16th century some Slovene Protestant pastor supported breaking away from Hungary. The pastors brought along the Bible ofPrimož Trubarand used it inGornji Petrovci.Hungarian Slovenes found it difficult to understand the language of this book.
18th century
[edit]The first book in the Prekmurje Slovene appeared in 1715, and was written by theLutheranpastorFerenc Temlin.In the 18th and early 19th century, a regional literature written in Prekmurje Slovene flourished. It comprised mostly (although not exclusively) of religious texts, written by both Protestant and Catholic clergymen. The most important authors were the Lutheran pastorIstván Küzmicsand the Roman Catholic priestMiklós Küzmicswho settled the standard for the Prekmurje regional standard language in the 18th century. Both of them were born in central Prekmurje, and accordingly the regional literary language was also based on the central sub-dialects of Prekmurje Slovene.
Miklós Küzmics in the 1790s rejected Standard Slovene. The poet, writer, translator, and journalistImre Augustichmade approaches toward standard Slovene,[10][82]but retained the Hungarian Alpha bet. The poetFerenc Sbüllalso made motions toward accepting standard Slovene.
By the 16th century, a theory linking the Hungarian Slovenes to the ancientVandalshad become popular.[which?]Accordingly, Prekmurje Slovene was frequently designated in HungarianLatindocuments as theVandalian language(Latin:lingua vandalica,Hungarian:Vandál nyelv,Prekmurje Slovene:vandalszki jezikorvandalszka vüszta).
With the advent of modernization in the mid-19th century, this kind of literature slowly declined. Nevertheless, the regional standard continued to be used in religious services. In the last decades of the 19th and 20th century, the denomination "Wends"and" Wendish language "was promoted, mostly by pro-Hungarians, in order to emphasize the difference between the Hungarian Slovenes and other Slovenes, including attempts to create a separate ethnic identity.
In 1919, most of Prekmurje was assigned to theKingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes,and Slovene replaced Hungarian as the language of education and administration. Standard Slovene gradually started to replace Prekmurje Slovene in the local Roman Catholic church, while the Lutheran community continued to use the dialect in their religious services. The local press tried to combine the old Prekmurje regional standard with standard Slovene, making it completely intelligible to Slovenes from other regions. In the late 1920s and 1930s, many Slovenes from theJulian Marchwho fled fromFascist Italysettled in Prekmurje, especially in the town ofLendava.The Yugoslav authorities encouraged the settlements of Slovene political immigrants from theKingdom of Italyin Prekmurje as an attempt to reduce the influence of theMagyarelement in the region; besides, the western Slovene dialects were very difficult to understand for the people of Prekmurje, thus the use of standard Slovene became almost indispensable for the mutual understanding.[83]
After World War II, the Lutheran Church also switched to standard Slovene in most of its parishes, and Prekmurje Slovene has since been relegated to almost exclusively private use. Nevertheless, along withResian,the Prekmurje Slovene is one of the few Slovene dialects still used by most speakers, with very little influence from standard Slovene.[citation needed]This creates a situation ofdiglossia,where the dialect is used as the predominant means of communication in private life, while the standard language is used in schools, administration, and the media. The situation is different among the Hungarian Slovenes, where standard Slovene is still very rarely used.
19th century
[edit]A second wave of standardisation began in 1823.Mihály Barlaissued a new hymnbook(Krscsanszke nove peszmene knige).József Kossics, a great writer and poet from Ptrekmurje, made contact with the Slovenian linguistOroslav Caf and thus get acquainted with the Styrian Slovenian dialect. Kossics's father was of Croatian descent, and accordingly was also raised in the Kajkavian Croatian language. TheKrátki návuk vogrszkoga jezika za zacsetníke,a Slovenian-Hungarian grammar book and dictionary let out the standard Prekmurje Slovene. TheZobriszani Szloven i Szlovenszka med Mürov in Rábovethic-book, formed the ethics- and linguistic-norms.Zgodbe vogerszkoga králesztvaandSztarine Zseleznih ino Szalaszkih Szlovencovare the first Prekmurje Slovene Slovenian history books. Kossics was the first writer to write nonreligious poetry.
In 1820, a teacher namedIstván Lülikwrote a new coursebook(Novi abeczedár),into which was made three issue (1853, 1856, 1863).
Sándor Terplán andJános Kardoswrote a psalm book(Knige 'zoltárszke).
János Kardos translated numerous verses fromSándor Petőfi,János Aranyand few Hungarian poet. In 1870, he worked on a new coursebook, theNôve knige cstenyá za vesznícski sôl drügi zlôcs. In 1875,Imre Augustichestablished the first Prekmurje Slovene newspaperPrijátel(The Friend). Later, he wrote a new Hungarian–Prekmurje Slovene grammar(Návuk vogrszkoga jezika,1876) and translated works from Hungarian poets and writers.
In 1886,József Bagárywrote second course-book, which apply the Gaj Alpha bet(Perve knige – čtenyá za katholičánske vesničke šolê).
20th century
[edit]In 1914-1918, the ethnic governor and later parliamentarian congressman inBelgradeJózsef Kleklstandardized Prekmurje Slovene,[10]making use of the Croatian and Slovene languages. In 1923, the new prayerbook'sHodi k oltarskomi svesti(Come on to the Eucharist) orthography was written in the Gaj. Items in the newspapers the catholicNovine, Marijin list, Marijin ograček,calendarKalendar Srca Jezušovoga,the LutheranDüševni listandEvangeličanski kalendarwere written in the Prekmurje Slovene.[84]
József Szakovicstook an active part in cultivating the Prekmurje Slovene, although not all schools offered education in Prekmurje Slovene. The prominent Prekmurje writerMiško Kranjecalso wrote in Slovene.
János Fliszárwrote a Hungarian-Wendish dictionary in 1922. In 1941, the Hungarian Army seized back the Prekmurje area and by 1945 aimed to make an end of the Prekmurje Slovene and Slovene by the help of Mikola.[clarification needed]
After 1945, Communist Yugoslavia banned the printing of religious books in the Prekmurje Slovene, and only standard Slovene was used in administration and education. In Hungary, the dictatorMátyás Rákosibanned every minority language and deported the Slovenes in the Hungarian Plain.
The Wendish question
[edit]![]() | This articlemay lack focus or may be about more than one topic.(November 2010) |
The issue of how Prekmurje Slovene came to be a separate tongue has many theories. First, in the 16th century, there was a theory that the Slovenes east of the Mura were descendants of theVandals,anEast Germanic tribeof pre-Roman Empireera antiquity. TheVandalname was used not only as the "scientific" or ethnological term for Slovenes, but also to acknowledge that theVandalicpeople were named theSzlovenci, szlovenszki, szlovenye(Slovenians).
In 1627, was issue the Protestant visitation in the countryTótság,orSlovene Circumscription(this is the historical name of the Prekmurje and Vendvidék, Prekmurje Slovene: Slovenska okroglina).[clarification needed]Herein act a Slavic Bible inGornji Petrovci,which as a matter of fact the Bible ofPrimož Trubar.FromCarniolaand Styria in the 16th and 17th centuries, a few Slovene Protestant pastors fled to Hungary and brought with them Trubar's Bible, which helped set the standard for Slovene. Not known by accident there was work on Prekmurje Slovene.[clarification needed]
According to the Hungarian dissenters, theWendish(Prekmurje Slovene) language was ofDanish,Sorbian,Germanic,Celtic,Eastern RomanceorWest Slavicextraction.[citation needed]But this was often false, political or exaggerated affirmations.
According to extremist Hungarian groups, the Wends were captured byTurkishandCroatiantroops who were later integrated into Hungarian society. Another popular theory created by some Hungarian nationalists was that the speakers of the Wendish language were "in truth" Magyar peoples, and some had merged into the Slavic population of Slovenia over the last 800 years.
In 1920, Hungarian physicistSándor Mikola wrote a number of books about Slovene inhabitants of Hungary and the Wendish language: theWendish-Celtic theory.Accordingly, the Wends (Slovenians in Hungary) were of Celtic extraction, not Slavic. Later Mikola also adopted the belief that the Wends indeed were Slavic-speaking Hungarians. In Hungary, the state's ethnonationalistic program tried to prove his theories. Mikola also thought the Wends, Slovenes, and Croatians alike were all descendants of thePannonian Romans,therefore they haveLatinblood and culture in them as well.
During theHungarian revolutionwhen Hungarians rebelled against Habsburg rule, the Catholic Slovenes sided with the Catholic Habsburgs. The Lutheran Slovenians, however, supported the rebelLajos Kossuthsiding with Hungary and they pleaded for the separation of Hungary from Habsburg Austria which had its anti-Protestant policy. At that time, the reasoning that the inhabitants of the Rába Region were not Slovenes but Wends and "Wendish-Slovenes" respectively and that, as a consequence, their ancestral Slavic-Wendish language was not to be equated with the other Slovenes living in theAustro-Hungarian Empirewas established. In the opinion of the Lutheran-Slovene priest ofHodoš,the only possibility for the Lutheran Slovenes emerging from the Catholic-Slovenian population group to continue was to support Kossuth and his Hungarian culture.[clarification needed]Thereafter, the Lutheran Slovenes used their language in churches and schools in the most traditional way in order to distinguish themselves from the Catholic Slovenes and the Slovene language (i.e., pro-Hungarian or pan-Slavic Slovene literature). The Lutheran priests and believers remained of the conviction that they could only adhere to their Lutheran faith when following the wish of the Hungarians (or the Austrians) and considering themselves "Wendish-Slovenes". If they did not conform to this, then they were in danger of being assimilated into Hungarian culture.
In the years preceding World War I, the Hungarian Slovenes were swept into the ideology ofPanslavism,the national unity of all Slavic-speaking peoples of Eastern Europe. The issue was volatile in the fragmented Austro-Hungarian empire, which was defeated in the war. In the 1921Treaty of Trianon,the southern half (not the whole) of the Prekmurje region was ceded to theKingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
The Hungarian government inBudapestafter 1867 tried to assimilate thePrekmurje Slovenes.InSomogyin the 19th century, there was still a ban on using Prekmurje Slovene. József Borovnyák, Ferenc Ivanóczy, and other Slovenian politicians and writers helped safeguard the Prekmurje Slovene and identity.
In the late 20th century and today, the new notion for Hungarian Slovenians is to conceive Prekmurje Slovene is in fact the Slovene language, but not dialect.[clarification needed]Their allusions: the Küzmics Gospels, the Old Grammar- and state-run public schools, the typical Prekmurje Slovene and Rába Slovene culture, the few centuries old-long isolation in Prekmurje Slovene and continued self-preservation from the Hungarian majority. The Hungarian Slovenes are more interested in being Slovenes.[citation needed] In Communist Yugoslavia, Prekmurje Slovene was looked down upon because numerous writers, such as József Klekl, were anti-communists.[85][86]
However,pseudoscienticand extremist theories continue to be propagated. Ethnological research has again looked into the "Celtic-Wends, Wendish-Magyars", "Pannonian Roman" and West Slavic theories.Tibor Zsiga,a prominent Hungarian historian in 2001 declared "The Slovene people cannot be declared Wends, neither in Slovenia, neither in Prekmurje." One may mind theSlovene/Slovenskiname issue was under Pan-Slavism in the 19th-20th century, the other believes the issue was purely political in nature.
Examples
[edit]A comparison of theLord's Prayerin standard Slovene, Standard Prekmurje Slovene, Kajkavian Croatian, and standard Croatian. The Prekmurje Slovene version is taken from a 1942 prayer book (Zálozso János Zvér,Molitvena Kniga, Odobrena od cérkvene oblászti,Murska Sobota, 1942, third edition). The originalHungarian orthographyhas been transliterated intoGaj's Latin Alpha bet,as used in the other versions, for easier comparison.

- ^Greenberg 2020,p. 1: "There is reason to think of Prekmurje Slovene as a dialect of Slovene as well as a separate language. Indeed it has carried through many of the innovations that are characteristic of Slovene, shares most core vocabulary and grammatical structure, and from this perspective is part of a broader dialect group of the Pannonian group of Slovene dialects, together with the Slovenske gorice, Prlekija, and Haloze dialects, which in turn share a number of characteristics that differ from the rest of Slovene as well as neighboring Kajkavian dialects in Croatia (see Ramovš 1935, 171–193 for details). In favor of Prekmurje Slovene as a language it is written tradition, as it has been used for several centuries in a loosely standardized form, largely, but not exclusively, as a liturgical language. From a diachronic perspective, the Prekmurje Slovene offers a glimpse at a linguistic code that came into being through heterogeneous processes."
