The contibution presents the article O nastanku slovenskih narečij (“On the Origin of Slovene Dialects”) by the Slovene dialectologist Tine Logar (1916–2002), focusing in particular on its revised edition of Pregled zgodovine slovenskega jezika (“An Overview of the History of Slovene”) (published in 1965 and 1974, and reprinted with minor corrections in 1996). This foundational study is revisited and supplemented with recent discoveries in the research on the formation of the Slovene language and its dialects. Logar’s contribution remains a standard reference in the field of Slovene historical linguistics and dialectology and, with appropriate contextualization, still serves as a valuable entry point into the study of Slovene’s internal linguistic (pre)history. The present article offers a panoramic overview ofsome recent findings in Indo-European and Slavic comparative linguistics, as well as in the historical linguistics and dialectology of Slovene.
