Summary/Abstract: Field research on Serbs in Hungary began with the main goal of producing a more extensive ethnolinguistic study that would simultaneously shed light on both traditional culture and local dialects. Team field research by the Institute of Balkan Studies of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts was conducted on three occasions. During September 2001, a team consisting of Biljana Sikimić, Marija Ilić and Marija Vučković worked on Čepelska ada in the settlement of Čip and (for one day only) in Lovra. In Tolna County, a research team (Biljana Sikimić and Marija Ilić) conducted field research in the settlement of Medina from 6–10 December 2002, when interviews were recorded with practically all residents of the local Serbian-speaking community. The following year, in December 2003, Biljana Sikimić and Marija Ilić worked in the Hungarian part of Baranja, in the settlements of Vilan, Magyarboja, Lipova, Mohács, and one interview was recorded in Santovo. Fieldwork in Hungary continued after a few years with individual research when Marija Ilić, in 2008, worked again in Çip on completing the material for her doctoral dissertation, as well as in the Serbian communities in Szentendre, Čobanec and Lovra, but also with the “Rác” community in Tukulja. All team research was carried out thanks to the material and organizational support of the Serbian Self-Government in Budapest and the Self-Government of Serbs in Hungary. The initially planned results (the production of an ethnolinguistic monograph) have not been realized to date, but the existing archived field materials would enable its relatively quick production. Namely, the process of digitizing all field recordings by the team of the Balkanology Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts has been completed, and the entire digitized audio material (as well as new material that has been recorded exclusively in digital format for several years) was placed on the external disk of the Balkanology Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts during the summer of 2010 and is available to all users of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts network.
