It is spoken around Podbrdo in the triangular area bounded by Bača pri Podbrdu, Porezen, and Mount Rodica (1966 m).Toporišič, Jože. 1992. Enciklopedija slovenskega jezika.

Phonological and morphological characteristics

The Bača subdialect is a transitional dialect between the Upper Carniolan dialect group and the Rovte dialect group.[http://www.welcome-to-slovenia.com/content?ContentID=123 Rovtarska narečja {{in lang|sl}}]{{Dead link|date=October 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Like the rest of the Tolmin dialect, it is generally characterized by akanye, but the local dialect of the village of Rut lacks this feature. The dialectologist Tine Logar has suggested that this may be due to the influence of German colonization.Logar, Tine. 1968. "Glasovne in morfološke posebnosti v govorici sloveniziranih nemcev." Slavistična revija 16: 159–168, p. 164.Reindl, Donald F. 2008. Language Contact: German and Slovenian. Bochum: Brockmeyer, p. 47. Another special feature of Rut, together with the villages of Stržišče and Podbrdo, is the merger of alveolar and palatal fricatives into alveolo-palatals: s/š > /ɕ/, z/ž > /ʑ/, a phenomenon known in Slovene as slekanje.Logar, Tine. 1993. Slovenska narečja. Ljubljana: Mladinska knjiga, p. 122.Reindl, Donald F. 2008. Language Contact: German and Slovenian. Bochum: Brockmeyer, p. 59. This phonological development has also been attributed to German influence.Ramovš, Fran. 1935. Historična gramatika slovenskega jezika. VII. Dialekti.
