Summary/Abstract: Although the vernaculars of the central and southern parts of the Kosovo basin and the vernacular of Kosovo Pomoravlje are geographically close to each other and belong to the Prizren-South Morava dialect, they differ significantly in terms of the inflection of declinable words – the vernaculars of Kosovo are partly analytic, while the vernaculars of Kosovo Pomoravlje are completely analytic. There are also differences in aorist and imperfect. With regard to the overall structure of their morphology, the vernaculars of Kosovo, Metohija and Sirinić regions form a unique sub-dialect within the Prizren-South Morava dialect. On the other hand, the vernaculars of Kosovo Pomoravlje are close to the ones spoken in the South Morava basin. Some common features of the vernaculars spoken in the Kosovo Basin and Kosovo Pomoravlje, which are unknown or infrequent in vernaculars of Metohija, testify that the vernaculars of Kosovo Pomoravlje were similar to the ones spoken in the Kosovo basin before large-scale migrations from the south. Here is a list of similarities..
