Abstract
The Istriot Linguistic Atlas (ILA) is the first result of the Atlas Linguarum Histriae et Liburniae (Linguistic Atlas of Istria and Kvarner). The volume analysed here was published in Pola (Croatian Pula) in 1998 after a gestation that last period of about ten years. The second edition was published in 2017. This analysis of this region of Istria takes into consideration a “geomorphology” module: the second volume, which contains thirty-nine questions posed to participants. The main objective of this intervention is to study the geographical names present in the ILA in order to uncover the common characteristics of the six varieties of this dialect, pointing out, where present, the fragmentary nature of the answers by comparing them with the dialect vocabularies of this region. In addition, an attempt will be made to highlight the contact between the Romanians and Slavs in this border region.
