TWO DIALECTAL TEXTS CONTAINING HISTORY
EVIDENCE COLLECTED FROM THE VILLAGES OF
GÀBRESH AND DRENÒVENI IN THE KOSTUR /KASTORIA/
REGION
Lari-Labro Korolov
(Summary)
Both dialectal texts in the article were collected in Toronto, Canada
from two informants belonging to two different generations and
originating from the villages of Gàbresh and Drenòveni in the Kostur
(Kastoria) region. They disclose new and never published information
on the IMARO’s activities, the fate of the Bulgarian language
in South-western Macedonia under Greek rule, the difficulties of the
locals to visit their native villages during the years of the Greek Military
Junta (1967 – 1974); they also contain some comments made by
Atatürk on Bulgaria’s behalf. History and dialects of the area remain
understudied, due to the Greek rule exerted on this area and its heavy
assimilatory policies. The new information will help fill the gap, even
to a small extent. The texts also serve as a supplement to Blagoy Shklifov’s
work on the Kostur dialect.
Keywords: Gàbresh, Drenòveni, Kastoria, Torornto, South-western
