Usage notes
[edit]- Although technically synonyms, there is a difference in the usage of narječje and dijalekt. The former is used for larger dialect clusters (e.g. Kajkavian, Chakavian, Shtokavian, Torlak), while the latter tends to be used for subdivisions within them, as a classificatory unit above a subdialect.
