Summary/Abstract: Based on field research, cadastral data and historical sources, the paper presents and analyzes the toponymy of the village of Podgora in the municipality of Breza. The research covers about two hundred toponymic variations. Taking into account the linguistic and extra-linguistic characteristics of the researched area, a semantic-motivational and structural-formative classification was made, and linguistic influences and alloglottic elements in the formation of toponomasticons were observed. Finally, a dictionary of toponyms was given in alphabetical order. All toponymic characters confirmed in the field are accented.
