Abstract:

The research proves that the consonant opposition ’’voiced-voiceless’’ in the absolute word-final maintains in the Wallachian dialect in the outhermost Northwestern Region of Bulgaria. There is no interference from the Bulgarian language, where in the absolute word-final this opposition is neutralized. In this special feature the phonetics of the Wallachian dialect is closer to the Romance languages. The realization of the voiced consonant at the word-final in the Wallachian speech of the bilingual people is often met in the idiolects of all informators and is not influenced by extralingual factors.
