🙋 I'm interested in your analysis of Nace's accent! Always interested in language.

Gosh, why do I promise to do things I know barely anything about...

Anyway, strap in kids, we are going to learn stuff about JO's dialects today.

First up, it's important to note that for how small Slovenia is and how few people speak the language, we have SO MANY dialects. I literally come out of a village of merely 2000 inhabitants, but our dialect is different from the neighbouring village's, which has 3500 inhabitants. In total, Slovene has 7 dialect groups and over 40 dialects in total.

So, in short about JO, before I disect Nace's accent: Kris and Bojan (and Martin) come from Ljubljana, which definitely has its own dialect. Often, Slovenes will call inhabitants of Ljubljana 'žabarji' (frog people) because Ljubljana itself is a marsh. And also because instead of using the nice Slovene 'Kaj?' to ask 'What?', a person from Ljubljana might say 'Kwa?' (don't know how legit this still is, again, please remember that I study English, NOT Slovene).

Jan and Jure come from Vrhnika and Logatec respectively. These two towns (at least in my eyes) belong to Notranjska, a very often ignored 'region' (Slovenia does not have official regions). Most people place us under Ljubljana, some place us with the karstic area, but I come from Notranjska, and goddamn, in my eyes they do as well! While there are many stereotypes about almost every Slovene region, also regarding speech, there really ain't that much about Notranjska. I also can't say that I've heard Jan and Jure talk enough to pinpoint them, or I'm just shit with dialects.

HOWEVER

In the recent episode of Welcome to the Backstage, Jure is trying to teach a British girl how to say Logatec. And he kinda pronounces it with an H (Lohatec), which I have definitely heard people from his area do. He also mentions Horjul, which is kinda close to Logatec and the girl is baffled at how to pronounce it. There are worse villages pronunciation-wise Logatec though, Grčarevec and Hotedršica, to name a few.

Okay, now I've let out my regional pride, let's finally get to Nace. The bassist of Joker Out comes from Gorenjska (the north-west of Slovenia) and yes, his accent is thick, but almost everyone from Gorenjska has a very noticeable accent, much like Štajerska. Now, I won't go too much into detail, but probably the best description of a Gorenjska accent is "it's like they have a golf ball stuck in their throat and are trying to get it out with the way they talk." And yeah, I deffo hear that with Nace.

I know I also mentioned 'ejga' in my tags and I can't not mention it again. It has no real meaning as it is a filler which can be placed both at the end and beginning of sentences. And it's highly typical for the Gorenjska region and I doubt my life will be complete until I hear Nace say it.

So as you can imagine, the Gorenjska dialect won't be winning any awards for sexiest Slovene dialect, but there are worse out there.

*slaps knee and takes a shot of schnaps of questionable origins*

Anon, hope this was fun, it definitely was fun for me, ejga.

If they're hosting their families for Christmas dinner, what do they cook?

Are they nervous to have their families meet each other?

What gifts do they give each other's pets, since they can't be left out!

Do they have any special ornaments for the tree?

1. Key rule - no wheat allowed anywhere.

(I was googling typical Christmas recipes in Slovenia, so pls @ Slovenians - yell @ me in comments if I should also include things typically from Notranjska or Gorenjska)

It’s a „we gotta impress them” dinner so any fancier soup, roasted meat with various sides (mandatory fried potatoes with onion and sauerkraut!) and so on. Accompanied with wine (or soda if someone don’t or can’t drink).

And of course, (gluten free) potica - the only pastry ever! And any other pastry ofc.

2. Of course, especially before their first Christmas in their new home. May they meet each other’s (extended) families and the families met at some point, but two families in a one place might cause a drama, especially during Christmas time. So naturally there is stress. Thankfully it’s always going good.

3. Usually festive toys, new bed or clothes. (Imagine Igor and Ollie in the Christmas sweaters as well). Turtles can get new terrarium as well.

4. Usually it’s random ornaments given by fans during pre-Christmas gigs, weirdly shaped baubles as a housewarming gift from JO. First Christmas in the new home and first Christmas with their child will get dedicated ornaments as well. (Inspired by @beeoftheanxieties)

I LUOGHI DELL'ANIMA

Per l'occasione del Ferragosto 2023, "Bergamo Risvegliata" vi porta fuori dai confini italici per farvi conoscere un luogo non del tutto sconosciuto ai più, anzi meta di appassionati della natura e delle meraviglie delle grotte: Postumia (Postojna) è l'amena località della Slovenia al centro di questo viaggio animico, che potrete scoprire anche al link (e ai vari sottolink):

Alle soglie della bora, un luogo ricco di storie e leggende misteriose.

All’incrocio di innumerevoli influenze che giungono da ogni parte del cielo si trova questo luogo famoso in tutto il mondo per le Grotte di Postumia.  Ma chi non cerca solo una sosta qui trova un vero contatto con la natura, le persone e le leggende del Carso. 

Il nome stesso Postumia invita a stare con noi, poiché ha un significato simile a “restare”, cosa di cui presto vi renderete conto, non senza ragione

Vi aspettiamo a braccia aperte con la nostra storia millenaria, il misticismo, le leggende e un’offerta di alta qualità. 

Sarete voi stessi a creare le vostre esperienze.

Postumia è la culla mondiale della carsologia, dominata da meraviglie carsiche uniche.

Qui, dove la porta di Postumia come amichevole passaggio naturale collega da sempre il Mediterraneo e l’Europa centrale, la natura crea le sue meraviglie carsiche.

Postumia, con il suo meraviglioso e misterioso mondo sotterraneo e l’esclusivo paesaggio carsico verde, è un vero e proprio scrigno di molti monumenti e attrazioni di fama mondiale.

Il Museo della Notranjska di Postumia vanta una mostra permanente, il Museo del Carso, la mostra più completa sul Carso in Europa. Se avete dato un’occhiata alle stalattiti nelle Grotte di Postumia, qui potete toccarle. Nel Museo della Notranjska è esposto anche un vero tesoro medievale proveniente dal Castello di Predjama.

Oltre al tesoro, i visitatori possono ammirare gli scheletri di animali dell’era glaciale: l’orso delle caverne, il bisonte delle steppe e i resti di un leone delle caverne, di una iena, di un rinoceronte e persino di un ippopotamo; è anche possibile osservare gli animali delle caverne al microscopio.

La mostra vi porta in modo professionale e vivace dalla creazione del paesaggio carsico alla vita moderna sul Carso; allo stesso tempo è un luogo dove si possono toccare le stalattiti, vedere gli animali delle caverne al microscopio e utilizzare un display analogico e interattivo sulle 11.693 grotte in Slovenia. 

-È perfetta sia per i giovani che per i più maturi, per i gruppi e per gli ospiti individuali; l’accesso e la visione sono adattati anche alle persone con disabilità. -Green Key – Il Museo della Notranjska è il primo museo in Slovenia con il certificato ambientale di sostenibilità Green Key. La Green Key, Chiave Verde, è il principale standard di eccellenza nella responsabilità ambientale e nelle operazioni sostenibili nel settore del turismo.

-Museo amico dei cani – Tutti i cani, piccoli e grandi, sono i benvenuti al Museo della Notranjska di Postumia: possono accompagnare i loro proprietari in tutti gli spazi espositivi, nel rispetto delle regole di convivenza civile.

La Grotta di Planina (già Grotta del Castello piccolo) si trova al margine meridionale della piana di Planina nelle immediate vicinanze della torre Ravbar. 

Si compone di varie sale, numerosi bellissimi laghi e stalattiti. La grotta ha una lunghezza di quasi sette chilometri ed è considerata la più grande grotta acquatica della Slovenia.

//here they are, Posavje as Spiderman, Simon in another costume nobody wants to see him in, Obala is wearing a škoromati costume (I'm pretty sure only men are supposed to but hey nobody is going to stop a ~500 year old entity from dressing up in whatever the fuck she wants), Notranjska is definitely ready to cause chaos in this cop costume and Gorizia is just vibing in his prince costume

Regions of Slovenia

I’ve talked before about how Slovenia doesn’t have official regions (yet), meaning that the only form of local government are municipalities – 212 of them.

Which results in subdivisions maps like this:

with Slovenia clearly sticking out.

In fact, most maps with subdivisions use non-administrative subdivisions instead, usually statistical regions or – for the purposes of EU statistics – the NUTS regions. These groupings, however, are nothing more than representations of data collected on municipal level, arranged into larger units that are easier to handle.

The only larger administrative division is the division by administrative offices, which there are 58 (in use also by Google Maps, for example):

Most regionalizations in use by the various offices/administrations/institutes/etc. use administrative offices as their base, but ... 16 (and more) different offices/ administrations/institutes/etc. – 16 (and more) different regionalizations:

(note that Wikipedia still uses the pre-2015 division, which conforms to the administrative offices division completely, unlike the post-2015 one) —

{the colours are tied (loosely) to regional centres: light green – Nova Gorica, blue – Koper, light pink – Postojna, yellow – Kranj, light blue – Ljubljana, dark blue – Kočevje, grey – Velenje, red – Trbovlje, brown – Slovenj Gradec, green – Celje, violet – Novo mesto, light violet – Krško, orange – Maribor, cream – Ptuj, greyish blue – Murska Sobota}

All of those are roughly based on the traditional regions (and their subregions), which, however, don’t necessarily conform to municipal borders:

{light blue – Primorska/Littoral; red – Kranjska/Carniola, divided into Gorenjska/Upper Carniola, Dolenjska/Lower Carniola and Notranjska/Inner Carniola; yellow – Koroška/Carinthia, green – Štajerska/Styria, dark blue – Prekmurje}

People mostly identify with the traditional regions and further regions within those – see this post.

If I remember correctly, you are from Celje ? Do People of Celje still identify as being from former Styria ? Is Slovenia divided into this Regions of the Past ? Thank you. 😊

the regional divisions are still very much alive, yeah, though it goes even more specific than just the historical regions – people from Celje are thus Štajerci – Styrians (limited strictly to the Slovene part of the historical region only, unlike in the case of Carinthians or those from the Littoral region (afaik)), but even more so Savinjčani – from the “Savinjska” region, named for the river Savinja.

The historical divisions of Slovenia are:

the Littoral (Primorska – Primorci) (← “Slovene name of the region” – “demonym (if it’s used)”)

including Slovene Istria (Istra) – though most people would identify with the macroregion rather than Istria itself

there are also more specific regional identifications, for example with the Karst region (Kras – Kraševci), Vipava valley (– Vipavci), Goriška Brda (– Brici), other smaller ones ... !this goes for all the following regions as well!

especially in the more mountainous parts the identification with the macroregion can be weaker

Carniola (Kranjska)

Upper Carniola (Gorenjska – Gorenjci)

Inner Carniola (Notranjska – Notranjci) – this one perhaps being the weakest in terms of local identification with it

Lower Carniola (Dolenjska – Dolenjci)

White Carniola (Bela krajina – Belokranjci)

though subregions of Carniola, Upper, Inner and Lower Carniola are considered equal to other macroregions like Styria, the Littoral, Prekmurje ...; people don’t identify with being Kranjci at all anymore

though traditionally divided between Carniola and Styria, Zasavje (– Zasavci) is considered its own region on par with the other macroregions nowadays

Styria (Štajerska – Štajerci)

Savinja region (Savinjska – Savinjčani)

Pohorje (– Pohorci)

Prlekija (– Prleki)

Prekmurje (– Prekmurci)

across the border with Hungary, there’s also Porabje (– Porabci)

together with Prlekija (which is traditionally Styrian), Prekmurje forms Pomurje; people prefer to identify with either Prekmurje or Prlekija though

Carinthia (Koroška – Korošci)

Around Inner Carniola

Notranjska is a historical region from the times of Austro-Hungary in the southeast of Slovenia. The landscape is strongly influenced by karst terrain, which is manifested in many karst phenomena (caves, sinkholes, intermittent lake, …). As an open region at the time of the COVID-19, I decided to visit it. It is necessary to get up early to make the whole circle. izlet notranjska Logatec In…

Škocjan, Sežana, Slovenia

The Reka (literally, 'river' in Slovene), also the Inner Carniola Reka (Slovene: Notranjska Reka), is a river that starts as Big Creek (Croatian: Vela voda) in Croatia and flows through western Slovenia, where it is also initially known as Big Creek (Velika voda). The river is 54 kilometres (34 mi) long.
