A Tribute to the Bibliography of Papers on Fiume and Trieste Idioms

Sa？etak Two cities on the eastern Adriatic coast, Rijeka (Fiume) and Trieste, only 75 km afar, share a very similar history. Since the arrival of the Romans and Slavs, followed by the rule of the Ostrogoths and Franks, as well as the multicentenary coexistence in the Habsburg Monarchy, their culturological and linguistic history have continually been intertwining. Both cities are multicultural, with Slavic, Romanic and Germanic elements intertwined in their cultures and local speeches. Despite the coexistence of several languages in Rijeka and Trieste, this paper will concentrate on Venetian adstratum. The objective of the paper is thus, after presenting a brief historical survey and basic information on Venetian idioms, to list the papers that have addressed Trieste and Fiume idioms
