Abstract
<jats:p>This article presents a comprehensive study of a specific dialectal system – the Kamchik dialect – with the aim of identifying its characteristic features and the peculiarities of their functioning. A typological investigation is carried out across the phonetic-phonological, morphological, and lexical subsystems of this mixed-type vernacular spoken by Bulgarian settlers. The analysis is conducted in comparison with the Bulgari-an dialect continuum in the metropole, the standard Bulgarian language, and the dia-lects and standard languages of other Slavic peoples. The study of the pronominal system in the Kamchik dialect highlights its most salient features and reveals a diversity of phonetic and phonomorphological variants characteristic of the Bulgarian dialectal types involved in shaping this microsystem. Regarding the expression of future tense, the dialect employs multiple particle forms. The most frequently attested form uses the marker ша (sha, sh), while the Thracian variant жа (zha) appears only sporadically, and the ште (shte) variant is gradually falling out of use.</jats:p>
