Abstract

The results of the analysis of dialectal inflectional patterns show the differences between dialects and standard language only in individual endings. The old forms, palatalized and non-palatalized bases are maintained, the endings generalized for all genders, especially in plural, and old endings, especially those in personal pro - nouns, are preserved. All spoken dialectal forms that were examined have lost the tonemic contrast, which is why the endings are well preserved. First instances of the weakening of endings are found only in central Styrian dialect. Northeastern dialects display a tendency to relax the final syllable as a carrier of prosodic features by shifting to the left. The dual in northern dialects is still very much in use in nouns, in personal, possessive and demonstrative pronouns, and in verbs.
