The article provides an overview of field research among representatives of
the Macedonian, Czech and Slovak minority communities in the South Banat and
South Bačka districts of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (Serbia), conducted
in 2023. The Macedonian minority is made up of descendants of settlers who came to
Vojvodina in 1945– 1948 The article provides a brief analysis of the influence of the
Serbian language on the lexical system of the migrant idiom, grammar, and the abolition
of code-switching features. Work with the Czech minority was carried out for
the third time. The audio material was expanded, in particular, examples of unofficial
toponyms were recorded, which are given in the article. Photographs were taken of
written documents in the Czech language: a brief chronicle of the village and recipe
books, which are planned to be studied in detail to identify dialect and contact features
of the idiom. The expedition also began work on studying the language of the Slovak
minority. Based on the interview material, cases of code switching and metalinguistic
reflection are analyzed, and a conclusion is drawn about the absence of a situation
of “passive bilingualism” between the Czech and Slovak minorities in Serbia, which
is observed in modern Czech Republic and Slovakia.
