In Slovenia, the upper Soča valley and the Brda area was particularly affected, with the village of Breginj nearly completely demolished.
Breginj was a comune of the Province of Gorizia (as Bergogna), except during the period between 1924 and 1927, when the Province of Gorizia was abolished and annexed to the Province of Udine during Italian rule (1918–1943, nominally lasting until 1947).
Most of the dialect’s territory is in Italy, except for the area around Breginj and Livek in Slovenia.
