The Hvoyna dialect is a Bulgarian dialect of the Rhodopean group of the Rup dialects. Its range includes the northern part of the Central Rhodopes and the town of Batak in the Western Rhodopes.

Phonological and morphological characteristics

* Merger of Old Church Slavonic big yus Unicode |ѫ, little yus Unicode|ѧ, ь and ъ into ъ (IPA|ə) in a stressed syllable and into a slightly reduced a in an unstressed syllable: "къшта" (as in formal Bulgarian – house), "клIPA|ʲътва" vs. formal Bulgarian "клетва" (oath)
* Broad e (IPA|æ) for Old Church Slavonic yat in all positions and regardless of the word stress and the character of the following syllable: "бIPA|æл/бIPA|æли" vs. formal Bulgarian "бял/бели" (white), "голIPA|ʲIPA|æм"/"голIPA|ʲIPA|æми" vs. formal Bulgarian "голям/големи" (big). The broad e has also replaced Old Bulgarian я in all positions: "доашIPA|ʲтIPA|ʲерIPA|ʲ

IPA|æ" vs. formal Bulgarian "дъштерIPA|ʲа" (daughter)
* Triple definite article: -ът, -та, -то, -тIPA|æ for general cases, -ъс, -са, -со, -сIPA|æ for objects situated "close" to the speaker and -ън, -на, -но, -нIPA|æ for objects situated "far" from the speaker. The Batak subdialect, however, has a single definite article, as in formal Bulgarian
* A number of well-preserved case forms: agglomerative forms for family and personal names (as in the Central Balkan dialect, cf. article); dative forms for sing. nouns: "сину" vs. formal Bulgarian "на сина", etc.
