The article discusses the methodology of differentiation between the different strata of Romanisms in Slovene. Younger Romanisms in Slovene originate from one of the Young Romance idioms in contact with Slovene, i.e. Friulian, the Colonial Venetian dialects of Italian, and Standard Italian. Due to divergent phonetic developments a particular Romance lexeme shared by different Romance idioms can display an array of differing phonetic characteristics. These in turn provide the necessary criterion for the genetolinguistic differentiation of Younger Romanism in Slovene.
