Summary/Abstract: The Negovan notebook is a manuscript that contains the memories of the teacher Shteryu Popatanasov from the village of Negovan, Thessaloniki. The text contains rich information of a linguistic, ethnographic and historical nature about the Bulgarians from South Macedonia in the past. The object of representation in the article is the linguistic data, which shed additional light on the dialect of the village of Negovan as part of the Bulgarian dialects around the city of Thessaloniki. These data show that the dialect of the village of Negovan represents an interesting Bulgarian dialect type, which simultaneously combines the features of the western and eastern Bulgarian dialects, while also presenting a number of archaic phenomena. The analyzed manuscript confirms the observations of scientists who have studied the same geographical area in the past, and also adds some new features to the already known ones.
