Slovak dialects

[Dickins, Thomas]

Dear all,
 
Further to my last email, the schema didn't quite come out as intended! Here's a simplified version (without boxes, highlighting, italics etc.). I'm sorry that the system doesn't seem to like my hácky.

Codified variety: Standard Czech (spisovná cestina)
Dej mouku ze mlýna na vozík
 
Macrodialects: Common Czech (obecná cestina)
Dej mouku ze mlejna na vozejk
 
Traditional dialects (and dialect groups): Bohemian: North-eastern, Central, South-western, Czech-Moravian 
Dej mouku ze mlejna na vozejk
 
Central Moravian (Hanák)

Moravian-Slovak: Eastern Moravian
Daj múku ze mlýna na vozík

Dear all,

As part of some work I am doing on Czech attitudes to things Slovak (especially language issues), I have taken a sentence suggested by J. V. Neustupný & J. Nekvapil to illustrate Czech dialectal variation, Dej mouku ze mlýna na vozík, and sought to extend it eastwards. The schema below should give some indication of how the sentence changes (assuming that you can read it!), but I can also send individuals an attachment which provides a clearer overview, if required.

I wonder whether any Slovak speakers can offer refinements (or know of anyone who might be able to offer refinements), bearing in mind that I don't want to over-complicate matters with too much localised variation. I would particularly like to hear suggestions for the basic dialectal forms used in Western Slovak (south-eastern area) and Central Slovak (southern area).

All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
