     Torre Valley dialect

The Torre Valley dialect or Ter Valley dialect (Slovene: tersko narečje [ˈtɛ́ːɾskɔ naˈɾéːt͡ʃjɛ],[1] terščina[2]) is the westernmost[3] and the most Romanized Slovene dialect.[4] It is one of the most endangered Slovene dialects and is threatened with possible extinction.[5] It is also one of the most archaic Slovene dialects, together with the Gail Valley and Natisone Valley dialects, which makes it interesting for typological research.[6] It is spoken mainly in the Torre Valley in the Province of Udine in Italy, but also in western parts of the Municipality of Kobarid in the Slovene Littoral in Slovenia. The dialect borders the Soča dialect to the east, the Natisone Valley dialect to the southeast, Resian to the north, and Friulian to the southwest and west.[7] The dialect belongs to the Littoral dialect group, and it evolved from Venetian–Karst dialect base.[8][9]
