(Redirected from Prizren-Timok dialect)
The Prizren–Timok dialect (Serbo-Croatian: Призренско–тимочки дијалекат / Prizrensko–timočki dijalekat) is the name given by Serbian linguists to a specific part of Shtokavian dialects, spoken in Eastern and South Serbia and Kosovo;[a] an area spanning from Prizren in the south to the Timok River in the north. Its eastern border, starting from Zaječar, roughly forms the border with Bulgaria.

Notes
- ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as an independent state by 100 UN member states (with another 13 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 93 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
