Лингвистический анализ мегленорумынского идиома: по следам этнолингвистической экспедиции
Linguistic analysis of the Megleno-Romanian idiom: on the materials of an ethnolinguistic expedition

Summary/Abstract: This article considers the language characteristics of the Megleno-Romanian dialect, using texts recorded by a speaker from Gevgelija (Huma), North Macedonia. The texts were collected during an ethnolinguistic survey while studying funeral and memorial rites among the East-Romanian communities of Macedonia, including the Aromanians and Megleno-Romanians. The Megleno-Romanian recordings have significant linguistic value. Given the fact that Megleno-Romanian is on the verge of extinction, it is important to gather data from the few speakers in order to document the state of the idiom today and compare it with the earlier studies. This article also includes a small comparative component: the collected Megleno-Romanian data is analysed and compared with the neighbouring Aromanian dialects and the Romanian language.
