Tjaša Jakop (Fran Ramovša Institute of Slovenian Language ZRC SAZU) participated in International scientific conference of Italian Studies in Honor of Academician Goran Filipi (1954 – 2021) in Bale, Croatia (October 21th-22th 2022) with the paper Slovenian-Croatian linguistic contact in the Slovenian Linguistic Atlas, which in last decade also includes the local dialects of Banfi, Hum on Sutla, Dubravica, Čabar, Ravnice, Ravna Gora and Brest in Croatia. For four of these seven speeches (Brest, Hum na Sutli, Dubravica and Banfi) the presenter collected material in the field and analyzed it; in the paper she focused on the border Istrian dialect of Brest and compared it with the nearby dialects in Croatian (the dialect of Slum) and the Slovenian side of the border (the dialect of Rakitovec). Croatian dialectologists classify the Brest dialect as Chakavian Buzet dialect (Croatian: buzetski dijalekt), but according to the author’s findings its characteristic are typical of the Šavrini sub-dialect of the Istrian dialect (spoken in the south-western part of Slovenia).
