The Prizren–Timok dialect (Serbo-Croatian: Призренско–тимочки дијалекат / Prizrensko–timočki dijalekat) is the name given by Serbian linguists to classify transitional Torlakian dialects spoken in Eastern and South Serbia and Kosovo — an area spanning from Prizren in the south to the Timok River in the north — as sub-dialects of Old-Shtokavian. Its eastern border, starting from Zaječar, roughly forms the border with Bulgaria.
