Summary/Abstract: The article presents a description of vocalic clusters, occurring in texts from the Kostur dialectal area. The basis for the analysis is 14 texts in the book Текстови од дијалектите на македонскиот јазик published by Vidoeski. Vowels constituting clusters were evaluated according to morphological position, location in the prosodic unit and the structure of the cluster. Most of the vowel combinations were recorded at the morphemic boundry, in the middle of the word. In these positions, clusters are more diverse in structure than inside morpheme. Geminates were relatively frequent in the texts. They constitute nearly 23% of all vowel sequences.
