Našinski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Našinski, Nashinski or Goranian is a Torlakian dialect used by the Gorani in southern Kosovo. "Našinski" literally means "Ours" referring to "Našinski Jezik" meaning "Our Language".
In the 1991 Yugoslav census, 54.8% of the inhabitants of the Gora municipality said that they spoke the Gorani language, roughly in proportion to the number who considered themselves primarily ethnic Gorani. A little less than half the inhabitants of Gora declared that they spoke the Serbian language.[1]
Some Goranian intellectuals and researchers define their language as Bulgarian, similar to the nearby Bulgarian Dialects.[2] The first Nashinski-Albanian dictionary with 43,000 words and phrases was published in 2007.[2]
