"What happen"?
I'm translating this article to German to blue some redlinks, but when I came to last paragraph in "linguistic features" I was just perplexed. All this make like no sense to me and doesn't seem to be very English. Can somebody do something about that? --Kazu89 ノート 16:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
- Also the section "The question of the Wends and Prekmurian language", a sub-section of "history" is written in a nearly completely ununderstandable English... --Kazu89 ノート 21:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Need to the help, primarily for the sake of the complex linguistic concepts. Furthermore i pray the administrators for the move: the Prekmurian dialect so be it Prekmurian language, considering have standard. Doncsecz 11:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well, Ákos, you can try and find another speaker of Hungarian, Slowene, or Croatian, since you seem to speak those languages somewhat better. On this page you find people that can help you ;-)
- After your article is finished, we can discuss the lemma. --Kazu89 ノート 14:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Ok. Doncsecz 14:51, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- I might have time for doing a cleanup in a few days - I'll bear it in mind. Don't let that put anyone else off from having a go in the meantime though! Knepflerle (talk) 22:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Moving the article
I have to disagree with the proposal to move the article from Prekmurian dialect to Prekmurian language. The argument for the move is that it has a standard. This is only partially true. It would be more appropriate to say that it had a standard, since it fell into disuse after 1945 (and it had been decaying since 1919). Even if we pass over that, I don't think having a literary standard is enough to qualify a dialect as a language. Viator slovenicus (talk) 16:41, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- Viator! The Prekmurians make sense the old standard, considering this is slavic language, accordingly notable bilateral intelligibility. Perkmurian Familys apply the old prayer-books.

- Well, as I already mentioned to Ákos Doncsecz, I support the system used on the Italian-language Wikipedia, which is to say that linguistic variants which are assigned an ISO 693 code are saved as languages and the rest isn't. But in contrast to it.wiki, I wouldn't force the editors to use the word dialect for non-ISO 693 tongues for several reasons. Instead the proper name (e.g. "Prekmurian" e basta) should be sufficient. --Kazu89 ノート 20:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- Existence or otherwise of literary standards is not how we make the decision - we base the titles on usage in reliable sources, per WP:NAME. A brief survey of the (English-language) academic literature would be in order first. Knepflerle (talk) 22:48, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- My other reference, that the speakers of the Prekmurian so-called: prekmurski jezik, prekmurščina. The writer Feri Lainšček and others also act for this judgement. His reference the Küzmics Gospels, the great literature, ABC books, grammar-books, dictionarys, in addition in the schools of Slovenska krajina (Prekmurje and Vendvidék) in the 17th century-1920 was the prekmurian the in use language.
Doncsecz 07:46, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- Vilko Novak linguist, ethnologist and historian was likewise accept to the existence of the prekmurian language. In 1988 compile a dictionary of the old prekmurian standard literary language (Slovar stare knjižne prekmurščine).

The Hymn Book of Martjanci
Could somebody please provide the original title of the Hymn Book of Martjanci? I think it'll help me with my translation. Thanks. --Kazu89 ノート 15:40, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- The original title in slovene: Stara martjanska pesmarica, or Martjanska pesmarica, in hungarian Régi martyánci énekeskönyv. Also Vilko Novak was analyse the hymn-book, what is more give forth with the originally text. Here the issue, the publisher is Založba ZRC.
Doncsecz 16:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hvala lepa again. The cover you linked me is from a reprint, isn't it? And why is the title not written in Hungarian script, such as sztara martjanszka peszmarica? It's a Prekmurian book after all, no?
- I'm sorry, but the literature stuff is still a bit confusing (for me) --Kazu89 ノート 16:34, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
I can't tell. The ABC book of Miklós Küzmics here and there ABC Kni'zicza, or ABC knižica, alike the gospel Szvéti evangyeliomi, Sveti evangjeliomi. The Old prekmurian was use to the hungarian orthography. Doncsecz 16:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Prekmurian dialect move Prekmurian language
I reprise: so be it the name of the article: Prekmurian language. Allude to the preceding sources (explorations of Vilko Novak and Ágoston Pável, the Küzmics Gospels, ABC-books, Grammars, at is were 300 year-long education), together with the article Burgenland Croatian language. This is as well a autonomous croatian dialect, have literary standard. Besides the burgenlandian was act upon to the prekmurian. Albeit other the present prekmurian, but it is here this text in old hungarian standard. Slightly other, but understandable. The present livonian language likewise yet differing, like the old livonian, inasmuch as the latvian impact, but the livonian was none latvian dialect. Doncsecz 08:14, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

The prekmurian is a regional language
Viator, you wrote this: Prekmurian is sometimes considered a regional language, although it does not possess the requirements to qualify as regional language according to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, nor is it recognized as such either by the Slovenian state or by the vast majority of its speakers. It is however one of the few Slovene dialects on Slovenian soil which is still spoken in an almost integral way by all strata of the local population.
Reverse: the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages is apply to the prekmurian: the prekmurian language have own territory and numerous speakers. The speakers partly therefore not define to so that language, as the Prekmurje is a high and dry region, the people mostly unlearnt. A number of persons be a stranger to the prekmurian holy gospels and books.
The two Küzmics, Klekl, Szakovics, Pável, and today Feri Lainšček and others pronounce to language.
In the communistic Yugoslavia was underrate the prekmurian, as his literature decisively is sacralian, and few writer Klek and Szakovics was hate to the comunism. Few socialistic and comunistic egg-head was worked againts the prekmurian press and impression of books, so also Miško Kranjec, where was not immaculate preson. Klekl was renew to the standard prekmurian language in the Novine and the new books, as know, why language the prekmurian. Doncseczznánje 11:27, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that there was a possibility for Prekmurian to develop into a regional language, but - as you note yourself - this trend started declining already in the 1930s, and almost completely disappeared after 1945. Nowadays, Prekmurian cannot be regarded as a regional language. There is no serious political or cultural movement claiming that, nor is it consistently used in any public sphere (except for sporadic uses). It had a standard, but it fell into disuse (and as far as I know, people who are currently writing in Prekmurian, like Lainšček, are not using the same standard as the pre-1930s one). In short: nowadays, it can neither sociologically nor politically be regarded as a regional language. Viator slovenicus (talk) 16:35, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, the public use of the standard prekmurian was stop, but the standard language, which József Klekl devise, today alike usable, as in the Novine the words today as such in the Goričko dialect. As spoken language the prekmurian was not ceased, and not come down all the same, that the slovene standard language was to prepossess. Alsó Lainšček he could, that apply the standard language of Klekl and Szakovics, but it have no mastery, because not wrought the new standard prekmurian language, but the olda standard (see: Slovar stare knjižne prekmurščine). Doncseczznánje 17:48, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- What Klekl was to procreate is the neologisem. As the language of the Novine, Kalendar Srca Jezušovoga, Marijin ograček was far idiomatic standard language, lo a example: V nedelo, 28. septembra, po velkoj meši se je zbrala velka vnožina – prek 2000 lüdi – pri cerkvi v Črenšovcaj... Also today alike sound to this text.
Doncseczznánje 18:05, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
I add to, that into the Prekmurje and in Hungary more and more speaking of the prekmurian, and non-prekmurian persons so ponder to, that the prekmurian alike second slovene language-norm, likewise the resian language in Italy. Not but to be tipify slovene language, yet the croatian language dispose foure language-norm (kajkavian, štokavian, Burgenland and čakavian languages). Doncsecztalk 11:02, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Suggested move to "Prekmurje Slovenian"
English-language scholarship does not typically form the adjective "Prekmurian" (cf. http://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/dspace/bitstream/1808/5268/1/2Greenberg.pdf). I suggest moving this page to "Prekmurje Slovenian" (or "Prekmurje Slovene", it doesn't matter to me) to avoid the language/dialect debate. Doremo (talk) 11:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- In the standard english not yet normalized size, as the searchers or Prekmurje, or Prekmurian language apply. Marko Jesenšek apply prekmurian language name. Inasmuch as in the english exist to montenegrin, kajkavian, čakavian, štokavian, etc. names, accordingly acceptable the prekmurian language name. Doncsecztalk 13:59, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
My colleguae and administrator of the hungarian wikipedia is perfect in english, his reaction, that the name prekmurian language, prekmurian dialect suit to in the english, grammatically is acceptable. Besides: i am slovene, i and others slovenes claim the use, of the name prekmurian. Before long get to presentation the prekmurian to the SIL and with name prekmurian. Doncsecztalk 09:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Prekmurje, not "Prekmurian"
English forms adjectives from place names for regions in various ways. Some are made with -(ia)n (e.g., Bavaria > Bavarian), some with -(n)ese (e.g., Aceh > Acehnese), and some are idiosyncratic (e.g., Wales > Welsh), among other patterns. Very many are formed through conversion, or zero derivation (e.g., Vorarlberg > Vorarlberg; “the Vorarlberg economy”). Prekmurje is one of these last examples; quality English scholarship tends to use “Prekmurje” as the adjective form. Examples include Greenberg (one of the best-known English scholars working on Slovenian) (“Prekmurje grammar”, “Prekmurje Slovene grammar”, “Prekmurje dialect of Slovene” http://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/dspace/bitstream/1808/5268/1/2Greenberg.pdf), as well as research by Slovenian scholars – for example, Mihaela Koletnik (“the Prekmurje dialect” http://www.zrc-sazu.si/isjfr/jz6.htm), Tjaša Jakop (“Prekmurje dialects” http://bos.zrc-sazu.si/c/Dial/Ponovne_SLA/01_PDF_prispevki/Jakop_2006a.pdf), Matjaž Klemenčič (“the Prekmurje dialect”, “Prekmurje Slovenes” http://www2.arnes.si/~ljinv16/RIG/RIG%2055/Klemencic.pdf), and others. Good English scholarship (both native and nonnative)refers to the “Prekmurje dialect”. User Doncsecz has been unilaterally promoting the adjective form “Prekmurian”, often citing an abstract by Marko Jesenšek. However, other material by Jesenšek also contains the more typical form “Prekmurje” (“Prekmurje newspapers”, “Prekmurje dialect” http://www.centerslo.net/files/File/simpozij/sim22/Jesensek.pdf). (In general, it is difficult to rely on such material in any case, because it may reflect the effort of a nonnative translator rather than the author.) I conclude that there is no justifiable reason to use the form “Prekmurian” – not on the basis of English word-formation patterns, not on the basis of native English scholarship, and not on the basis of nonnative English scholarship. Doremo (talk) 05:55, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- I accent, that Jesenšek and Greenberg also adopt the Prekmurian language, as grammatically admissible. Alike the magyar nyelv is hungarian language, or kajkavskohrvatski jezik is kajkavian croatian language. Doncsecztalk 10:47, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- If user Doncsecz can convince the Slovenian and global scholary community that their standard terminology is wrong, then this issue can be reconsidered. Until then, regrettably, I will simply consider his changes malicious and undo them. Doremo (talk) 12:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, yes. I am the wrong, the vernacular speaker! None unkid the revesion, even more you the wrong and unkid, as keep at it force to the Prekmurje language name. Doncsecztalk 16:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh, yes, but Greenberg wrote first tractate in 1989. Thence was come in the also prekmurian idiom. Doremo, you was come one pat, when brew to the petition to the SIL. As yet was not problems at the prekmurian idiom, now you make negative procedure. Doncsecztalk 09:23, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Viator Slovenicus is erudite up i, but Viator the prekmurian idiom support. Doncsecztalk 12:58, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed, I personally find Prekmurian a much better option, since it follows the usual patterns of English adjective formation. However, as we know, no original research is allowed on wp. If there really isn't any reference to the term Prekmurian in English-language sources (I would be quite surprised if this were really so), then I see no other option than to follow the actually used terminology. However, this would mean a substantial editing effort in many articles: I thus strongly advise that the change be made only if there is somebody prepared to make all the necessary edits for a consistent usage. In my view, an "original" terminology is still much better than an inconsistent and chaotic one. Best, Viator slovenicus (talk) 13:02, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment, Viator. There really are few or no legitimate (i.e., native-English or quality-edited English scholarly) sources using Prekmurian (or Rabian or Burgenlandian or similar words that user Doncsecz has been using. The few examples I can find in print are poor quality (linguistically, I mean -- not necessarily scholarship) and obviously non-native, like this: http://books.google.si/books?id=T9LUAAAAMAAJ&q=prekmurian&dq=prekmurian&cd=2 (The quality of Doncsecz's postings should also clearly indicate something about his competence to edit other people's English. I appreciate that he contributes to WP, but editing English is not where he should focus his efforts.) Prekmurian follows English word-formation patterns only in a superficial or mechanical manner, like Japanian, Germanian, or Turkian. (Actually, if it did exist, it would probably be Prekmurjian [like Fijian, a real word] -- there's no justification for deleting the j). Most English -ian forms are based on -ia nouns (Bavaria, -ian) or underlying -ia nouns (Italy [Italia], -ian), but Prekmuria doesn't exist either. I'm prepared to make all the necessary edits for consistent usage (as I did with Jacob on 25 Feb and frequented on 24 January) and will continue my cleanup. Doremo (talk) 15:57, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't care what abouth other languages, as this is prekmurian language, not german, not japan, not african. There is not yet official denomination and cut is short the persistent meticulosity, as this is my mother tongue, also i was design to this article and just is my claim! Doncsecztalk 16:04, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- It should be remembered that: 1) Creating a page does not give an editor veto rights over others' edits; 2) Living in a particular place does not give an editor veto rights on articles about that place; 3) Being a member of a particular group does not make an editor an exclusive representative of that group. I think that the third opinion below is fair and will follow TransporterMan's suggestion that "Prekmurian" (although I consider it unreliable) appear in the lede. Doremo (talk) 05:10, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Doremo, you not realize to, that you force to the Prekmurje language name, but also Marc Greenberg support the Prekmurian name. I was separate ask in the petition, that the SIL register to this language with name PREKMURIAN. You speak about the legals of the users, but the Prekmurians have the right to chip on configuration of name his language in other foreign language. Doncsecztalk 07:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- ‘’Prekmurian’’ simply does not conform to normal English usage as a modifier. I will continue to modify the articles in line with good English practice. In addition to the good usage in Lenček, Greenberg, and others cited above, please consider the following additional printed sources by reputable scholars and presses with native English editors.

The following WP principles (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Neutral_point_of_view) may be helpful in resolving this discussion:
- If your viewpoint is in the majority, then it should be easy to substantiate it with reference to commonly accepted reference texts; ("Prekmurje" as a modifer is easily substantiated by the references above)
- If your viewpoint is held by a significant minority, then it should be easy to name prominent adherents; (Greenberg does not use "Prekmurian" in any published source and Jesenšek's sources vary between terms)
- If your viewpoint is held by an extremely small minority, then — whether it's true or not, whether you can prove it or not — it doesn't belong in Wikipedia, except perhaps in some ancillary article. Wikipedia is not the place for original research.

Disclaimers: I am responding to a third opinion request made at WP:3O. I have made no previous edits on Prekmurje Slovene and have no known association with the editors involved in this discussion. The third opinion process (FAQ) is informal and I have no special powers or authority apart from being a fresh pair of eyes. Third opinions are not tiebreakers and should not be "counted" in determining whether or not consensus has been reached. My personal standards for issuing third opinions can be viewed here. |
Opinion: It appears to me that the weight of reliable sources favors Prekmurje and that is what ought to be used, but if the source relied upon by Doncsecz can be considered reliable then that form should at least be mentioned in the lede. Ultimately the question is what's best for Wikipedia, especially as the title of an article, and what's best is what an English-speaking ordinary Internet user would type into the search blank. That would be the most common usage, which is Prekmurje, not Prekmurian or Prekmurjian which would in most cases be a guess. |
What's next: Once you've considered this opinion click here to see what happens next.—TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 18:40, 6 March 2010 (UTC) |
- TransporterMan! Marc L. Greenberg already see the article and i ken Greenberg. Greenberg so far not take objection to the name Prekmurian. Doncsecztalk 08:06, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Addendum re Third Opinion: I note that someone relisted this dispute at the Third Opinion Project. Another volunteer at the project (not me) removed the listing because I had already given a third opinion. While it is possible to relist a new dispute about an article, it is not possible to get another opinion on the same dispute. If the original third opinion does not settle the dispute, you need to move on to some other form of dispute resolution such as a request for comments (RfC), a posting at an appropriate Wikipedia project (perhaps WikiProject Languages), or taking it to the Mediation Cabal. An RfC request or project posting can often be the most helpful because it invites other editors into the discussion which will often help to reach consensus rather than just settle the matter between the two or three editors currently involved in the dispute. Be careful, however, not to get involved in improper canvassing, either directly or by forum shopping. — TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 19:58, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Prekmurian/Prekmurje as modifier
Requesting comment on the appropriateness of Prekmurian/Prekmurje as a modifier. Doremo (talk) 04:25, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Summary and comment. I have posted a neutral request for comment on this topic and look forward to other editors’ comments. The following comment is not neutral because it reflects my position. On 28 February 2010 (when my edit history on this topic begins) I appear to have wandered into an area important to user Doncsecz: Prekmurje and Prekmurje Slovenian. There is an established tradition of English-language scholarship on this topic (see “Suggested move” and “Prekmurje, not ‘Prekmurian’” above) and scholarly literature typically refers to “the Prekmurje dialect,” “Prekmurje Slovenes,” and so on (see linked references above). Many of the articles I have edited on this topic had been tagged for copy editing for quite a long time due to their very poor language quality. Unfortunately, it has been impossible to move forward on copy editing these articles due to reversion by Doncsecz (in addition to reverting “Prekmurje” to “Prekmurian” he has repeatedly and unhelpfully reverted other good copy-editing changes to broken English; e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prekmurian_dialect&diff=prev&oldid=346878113). Because Doncsecz’s activity appears to be focused on “Prekmurian” (a word form that I can find in no well-edited scholarly literature on this topic, of which there is plenty), I request that any comments focus on this issue in particular.

- If the wikipedia await, that the SIL what adjudicate, but now brew the petition. Greenberg simply and solely was he didn't mean to beget new name, accordingly wrote the Prekmurje dialect name. The first erudite works of the croatian variants in english also wrote, that: Kajkavski croatian dialect, Štokavski croatian dialect, etc. Later was evolve the Kajkavian, Štokavian, Čakavian idioms. Prekmürščina have not yet official name, accordingly the Greenberg's name Prekmurje dialect neither official. Doncsecztalk 09:06, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- As an English speaker who does not know Croatian, it is certainly easier for me to read Prekmurian, so that would be my preference. While we do consider WP:Common name, we also go by WP:English. The two conventions would appear to be at odds in this case, so argument could be made for either. kwami (talk) 00:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- WP:Common name and WP:English are not at odds on this issue. For the first principle, "Prekmurje dialect" follows "the usage of reliable sources" as cited above. For the second principle, the choice would be between the English name and prekmurščina (the Slovenian name), not between two English names. The principle WP:English also recommends following "general usage in English reliable sources." Doremo (talk) 07:42, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Irrespectively of the Greenberg's tractates and others the SIL likely that adopt to the prekmurian name. Doncsecztalk 10:34, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Needless and blunt stretch: not formal the Prekmurje or Prekmurian name.

- The Prekmurians also much love the Prekmurian name and not the Prekmurje
- Prekmurian correct grammatical idiom
- Marko Jesenšek the rector of Maribor University evenly use the Prekmurje, Prekmurian

Unclear statement: Prekmurian as a regional language
"Some consider Prekmurian a regional language, without denying that it is part of Slovene." - the word 'some' is vague and should be avoided (per WP:AVOID), a reference should be provided to support the statement. Academic sources (peer-reviewed articles) should be cited regarding Prekmurian as a language or the statement should be put into context. --Eleassar my talk 09:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Kako bi lahko prevedli to izraz: pokrajinski jezik. Seveda regionalna jezika v Sloveniji sta madžarščina in italijanščina, dokler prekmurščina je pokrajinski jezik. Ker glej Duličenkov izraz mikrojeziki, ali osamosovjeno narečje. Ker pokrajinski jezik je drugačen kot regionalni jezik, ampak v angleščino ne moremo drugačno prevesti pokrajinski samo regional. In jaz sem citiral znanstvena dela, od Avgusta Pavla. Prav tako Jože Toporišič tudi piše, da prekmurščina in rezijanščina imata delno samostojnost znotraj slovenščine. Vilko Novak zelo veliko je pisal o prekmurski književnosti, da je do druge svetovne vojne ohranila značilnosti prekmurskega jezika. Danes še vedno najdemo največ značilnosti v prekmurščini. Povrh pa koliko ljudi je privrženo prekmurščini. Poglej sobota info, ali Branka Pintariča, ki je gledališki ustvarjalec in kako meni o prekmurščini. Zakaj pišejo Feri Lainšček, Milan Vincetič (ki je profesor slovenščine), Milan Zrinski, Miki Roš, Jože Ftičar in drugi v prekmurščini? Ker ima zelo bogato in staro tradicijo ter zgodovino. Ravno tako kajkavščina in čakavščina na Hrvaškem. V prekmurščini še vedno se izraziti veliko terminoloških izrazov tudi. Doncsecztalk 11:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
It is written, that Ágoston Pável (like erudite specialist) downright stress to the marked status of the Prekmurian in the Slovene. But Jože Toporišič slovene linguist also take note of the sensible separateness of the Resian and Prekmurian. Vilko Novak wrote about the Prekmurian literature, that up the World War II wa retain the idiosyncrasys of the prekmurian language. Today also visible still the utmost idiosyncrasy. The question regional language: in slovene language prekmurščina je pokrajinski jezik. Yes in Slovenia the regional-minority languages (regionalski-manjšinski jezik) by the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages the Hungarian and Italian language, but the Prekmurian is pokrajinski jezik (pokrajinski in English also regional).

Prekmurian
Marko Jesenšek the rector of the Univerisity Maribor not deplore the Prekmurian terminology and the standards of the English language also permit of the -ian terminal by the name Prekmurje, while in another names Gorenjsko, Dolenjsko this beyond possibility. Doncsecztalk 16:55, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- The most frequent version is Prekmurje dialect so this should be used as the title of the article. Per WP:AT, a major criterion in choosing an article title is recognizability: "An ideal title will confirm, to readers who are familiar with (though not necessarily expert in) the topic, that the article is indeed about that topic. One important aspect of this is the use of names most frequently used by English-language reliable sources to refer to the subject." --Eleassar my talk 16:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
All the same is not impossible and considered the use of this term. In the Slovene wikipedia i wrote article about the Arberesh language and frame the term Arberščina, as in the Slovene terminology for the present want this word. Doncsecztalk 17:00, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- As already said, we should use the version most commonly used. Also, Prekmurian gives the impression that the majority of people and scholars consider the Prekmurje dialect a separate language, which is not true at all. The majority considers it a dialect of Slovene. See [1] --Eleassar my talk 17:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
In another countrys of Slovenia consider the Prekmurian some a dialect, in the Prekmurje consider the Slovene language of Prekmurje. Between the World Wars few Slovene linguists and Civilians considered the Prekmurian a language in the Communistic Yugoslavia railroad this persons, those who support the Prekmurian. In the title the "Prekmurian dialect" denote, that this is Slovene dialect, but separate dialect Eleassar! In the Zora books emerge the notable separateness of the Prekmurian.

I have yet to meet a qualified Slovenian => English translator or at least one such translator in training and/or a native English speaker who would actually prefer 'Prekmurian' to 'Prekmurje'. While 'Prekmurian' is used by locals and Slovenes in general, it is used more or less jokingly or in a non-serious context, similarly to 'Over-Mura (moving cake)' and similar examples. I recognize the possibility that some Slovene authors use the 'Prekmurian' adjective but that doesn't make it the norm by itself. The English pages are primarily for English speakers and they will, as a rule, use 'Prekmurje' so I would say that the version preferred by native speakers should take precedence. On the topic of dialect:language, professional opinions in Slovenia differ. The more Slovenia-centric linguists argue that Prekmurščina is nothing more than a dialect of Slovene. Ideologically unbiased linguists, however, at least privately admit that it's a separate language. The Statistical Bureau of Slovenia Eleassar quoted is certainly the official point of view but one could argue that it is severely biased and does not necessarily reflect real circumstances, as it is the case with certain minorities not being officially recognized in Slovenia etc. Personally I am in favor of the 'separate language' theory, since the differences between Prekmurščina and Slovene are (common opinion, though scientifically unproven) larger than between Slovene and certain other south Slavic languages e.g. Croatian. Historically it is a question of choosing a reference point in time, which can be used to prove either that it's a language or a dialect. It is clear, however, that modern Prekmurščina lacks any kind of official standardization, then again, so do many other >languages<. The argument I would use for using 'language' instead of 'dialect' is that if different versions of English, German, Spanish, Portuguese etc. can all be referred to as different languages or at least language variants, as opposed to dialects of English, then Prekmurščina (and many other dialects) deserve the same courtesy. However, as the joke goes - A language is a dialect supported by an army. And Prekmurje doesn't have one. Benf86 User talk:Benf86 2:04, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
- That's right. In the philology is not concret standpoint, what is the language, what is the dialect? Albeit other Slovene dialects also different in the Slovene, but few linguists advert to the cultural background, as other dialects have not a long literary tradition, such as the Prekmurian. Marko Jesenšek and others they want to contest the Prekmurian tradition, that the Prekmurian language is the product of the Magyarization propaganda, but Zinka Zorko support the language-standpoint through the great traditions. Doremo and Eleasser (as Jesenšek, Kranjec and others) trying to convince people, that the Prekmurje integrated Slovenia, but this is not true. In the article: The homeland regards Prekmurje not as a part of Slovenia but something peculiar within its borders… It is unthinkable for two Prekmurians to speak with each other in anything but Prekmurian. I used to meet the former President of the Republic Milan Kučan at public events quite often. We always spoke Prekmurian, it would have felt odd to use literary Slovenian, since he is from Prekmurje too. Others joked about us, asking why are we so secretive. When I met a compatriot in Australia, Africa or America, we immediately started to talk in our own language. This is our language. (Evald Flisar). A year ago again arose the question, the forlorn Prekmurje and it has been suggested the "idenpendent Prekmurje" (1) – Vlado Kreslin, Lainšček, few prekmurian politicians, Branko Pintarič also was raise the issue. The Slovene national mind do not want, that the Hungarians wade to into the Slovene indentity with the Wendish quesition, but the Slovene civilians still not considered the Prekmurje, that is the Slovene region. Doncsecztalk 06:19, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Rewriting the history
"The issue of how Prekmurian 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 the Vandals, an East Germanic tribe of pre-Roman Empire era antiquity. The Vandal name was used not only as the "scientific" or ethnological term for the Slovenes, but also to acknowledge that the Vandalic people were named the Szlovenci, szlovenszki, szlovenye (Slovenians)."
- This is a great nonsense, that the Prekmurian is Vandalic or Gothic language, or Semitic. The Prekmurian have few words are similar to the Russian, Slovak and Sorbian languages, and North Germanic dialects, but this words come from the proto-Slavic and proto-Indoeurpean language, do not prove that the Prekmurian Germanic or Semitic language. This is pseudoscience. Doncsecztalk 07:16, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

ü and ö
Does anyone have information and sources about the pronouniciation of ö and ü in the Prekmurje dialect? Could they really be [ø] and [y]? And if so, where did they came from? --Kreuzkümmel (talk) 19:01, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
No Kreuzkümmel, this is pure ö and ü, listen to this recording! The first Prekmurian written documents also clearly trying to indicated the ü and ö. Doncsecztalk 19:23, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Yes, Kreuzkümmel, ö = [ø] and ü = [y]. These phonemes are not unique to the Prekmurje dialect (e.g., ü is also found in some Karst and Inner Carniolan dialects). Both long and short ü < *u (e.g., duša > düša 'spirit'), probably in a push-chain process as syllabic l̩ > u, as well as via labialization of i > ü (e.g., sirotka > sürotka 'orphan'). The phoneme ö (environmentally conditioned, sometimes with only phonetic status) developed from short e after labials and before -u̯ and -o̯ < ł (e.g., Böltinci 'Beltinci', völki 'wolves'large'). Another source of ö is the later change ür > ör (e.g., širši > šürši > šörši 'wider'), so that the position before r conditioned ü > ö rather than a labial being necessary. Doremo (talk) 11:32, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
And also in the dialect of Prlekija, Slovene gorice, Haloze is very frequent. Doncsecztalk 13:12, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Doremo, are you sure that "völki" means "wolves"? Personally, I would say that the singular is "vuk" and plural "vuki" and I'd much sooner say that "völki" is a variant of "large" [veuki/velki]. Benf86 (talk) 17:49, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Prekmurščina as literary language, dialect
I think perhaps there should be two separate articles, one for the Prekmurje dialect group and another for the Prekmurje literary language, per references added. Per [2] (Martina Orožen. Vprašanja prekmurskega knjižnega jezika), the Prekmurje literary language cannot be equaled with neither of the speech systems currently present in Prekmurje. --Eleassar my talk 15:49, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- Martina Orožen several things incorrectly set. Moreover, the literary language is never spoken language, Eleassar! The Prekmurian literary language also lived. You believe in delusion, as the Prekmurian literary language immersed in every dialect (Ravensko, Porabian, Dolinsko, Goričko, Sobota). The Central Slovene literary language is a on-sided, chauvinistic formation. The dialects preserved the various elements of the literary language, Eleassar. Orožen tries to explain that the Prekmurian language merged with the Central Slovene in the 19th century, although only in specific terms taken over. The Central Slovene language is a hybrid, complex language, which he refused to take the elements of the Styrian and Prekmurian language. This is not true Eleassar, that the Prekmurian literary language cannot be equaled with the speech systems currently present in Prekmurje, this is a lie! Doncsecztalk 16:48, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- Martina Orožen (and also Eleassar under Orožen's influence) incredible emphasizes the fusion toward the Central Slovene language, but József Borovnyák, Imre Augustich, the two Klekls and few writers huge amount of elements taken up the Štokavian Croatian language. This is real facts, as the Dühovna hrána, Jezus moje pozselenye, etc. books and the newspaper Prijátel clearly show the influence of the Štokavian Croatian. Today the current (nationalistic) Slovene linguists silent about this (because the Croatian-Slovene conflicts). Doncsecztalk 17:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- I think you have misunderstood me. It is not that Prekmurje dialect and language would not develop intertwinned and based on each other. What Orožen actually stated is that the Prekmurje written language, used in the 18th century by Küzmič, cannot be equaled with a specific variant of the Prekmurje dialect (Dolinsko, Goričko, Ravensko), also because it borrowed from other languages, like Greek and Croatian (Kajkavian actually) and Jesenšek similarly states: "With Š. Küzmič, this manifests as a firm language norm that consciously surpassed the speech specifics of Dolinsko, Ravensko and Goričko (Raba Valley) in the formation of a super-dialectal language structure, also taking into consideration the linguistic patterns of older press."[3] Jesenšek makes a distinction between the literary language and the dialect in his article: "The Prekmurje literary language (so-called pure or old Slovene language) ... formed as a super-dialectal structure (similar to the Central Slovenian literary language of the 16th century) of the Ravensko and Goričko speech. The phonetic features of Dolinsko started to enter it only at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, when the Prekmurje literary language started to enter dialectal frames." and "In this period the difference between the spoken and written language, between the dialect and the literary norm, started to deepen." (V tem obdobju se je začela poglabljati razlika med govorjenim in pisnim jezikom, med narečjem in knjižno normo.), "Prekmurje press of the 18th and 19th century is not written in a dialect, but in literary language." (Prekmurski tiski 18. in 19. stoletja niso pisani v narečju, ampak v knjižnem jeziku.) This does not mean that the Prekmurje written language is not based on Prekmurje speech, or that Prekmurian literary language is not immersed in every subdialect, but the literary language of Prekmurje had its own history and development.[4]. --Eleassar my talk 00:00, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, there should be two separate articles; one for the Prekmurje dialect (prekmursko narečje) and another for standardized Prekmurje Slovene (prekmurski knjižni jezik). They are two very different phenomena (from a linguistic perspective) and the current article confuses the two. Doremo (talk) 05:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Linguistic contacts between old Prekmurian (Vandalic) - archaic and Centum languages
Here i have a little linguistic endorsement, observation about the Prekmurian language (which was not entirely studied or ignored) comparing to the Centum languages;
examples of words:
literal Slovene: drugje(elsewhere), Prekmurian(current, archaic): INDRI which drives correlation with German "andere" (OTHER), French: outres. Consequently; Slovene: "nikjer" (nowhere) vs Prekmurian "nindri". & Slovene "vsepovsod" (everywhere) vs Prekmurian "sindri" (or also "(fse) sešeron") Another comparison; Slovene: davno, nekoč (once upon a time, long time ago, in antique, in ancient time) vs Prekmurian INDA (example in sentence "Inda svejta" (svejt = slavic svet: "world, light, bright") where again draws a similarity with Germanic Ende or Sanskrit term "ANTA"(at the end of something/beginning (so transmutation of the word ANTA went into INDA or vice versa in Premurian; "in the beginning (long time ago). So Inda - Anta - "Antsiend" - Ancient - Antique (-"India-Inda"(??))
Slovene "vedno" (always; which derives from Slovenian "Veda" (knowledge; "which is known"(and "sure") vs Prekmurian "sigdar". (is there any correlation perhaps with germanic "sicher" (sure)??
Or English word "pick"(hack) (in Literal Slovene as "kramp"), which is Prekmurian Pijk (Peeyk). English "Or", Prekmurian "Ar". There seems to be a correlation with ancient Saxonic(English) languages and Vandalic (Prekmurian). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.210.253.197 (talk) 13:45, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- verb "Bagzivati, bagzyati" ("to breed"("making"-offspring (among animals) - probably shares lingual root with Latin "Fecit"(Fik)", Venetic Fagsto, "to make" (transmutation/betatism of F(V)into B or even Ph in several other IE languages); also a "bak" in Lingua Vandalica (Prekmurian) as a rabbit male.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.182.163.145 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
- To recapitulate the comment from here [5], the form indri is simply a compound, not connected with andere etc. (ESSJ I:211). The other "etymologies" offered here are equally dubious. The unsigned user should consult a reliable source (e.g., Bezlaj, France. 1977–2007. Etimološki slovar slovenskega jezika, 5 vol. Ljubljana: SAZU, among others) and review Wikipedia:No original research. Doremo (talk) 16:02, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Doremo, I am not interested into your theories about Prekmurian language according to pro Serbian and pro "Slovene" academy of Ljubljana. I am writing here my own studies (everyone can study them by themselves) about Prekmurian language for the whole world. To capture and explain few words before they will be assimilated official Slovenian or ex Yugoslav languages and vanish forever. Regards to the word Indri(elsewhere). It shares the lingual root with Indo European, centum word for "andere, other". And Inda derives from Indo European, Centum word Anta. No other way around. Regards to Bezlaj. He never understood or spoke Prekmurian that's why his "transliterations" of Prekmurian language can not be considered as a reliable source of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.182.165.168 (talk) 23:13, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
