Našinski
|
Našinski, Nashinski or Goranian is a Torlakian language (dialect) used by the Gorani (ethnic group) in southern Kosovo, a Serbian province currently under UN administration. "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 Bulgarian dialects spoken in Northwest Macedonia [1]. In 2007 was publshed the first Nashinski-Albanian Dictionary with 43 000 words and phrases.
