The aim of the present paper is to collect and present geographical terms included
by Vuk Karadžić in his dictionary. The excerption yielded nearly 500 lexical items. The
collected materials are classifi ed, according to the usual practice, into four main groups:
1. Designations of the elevated landforms; 2. Designations of the depressed landforms; 3.
Hydrographic terms (both physiogenic and anthropogenic) and 4. Terms designating the
morphological-vegetative properties of the soil, the latter group including terms related to
the vegetative cover, soil types and agriculture. The terms recorded by Vuk are compared
with those discussed in Joseph Schütz’s monograph, partly also with the contemporary
evidence provided by the author’s fi eld research in Vuk’s birthplace Tršić, his native region
of Jadar and the neighbouring Rađevina. Omitted are a few cases of homonymy, i.e.
words attested elsewhere, but not by Vuk, as geographical terms, e.g. blizanci ‘source’ (in
Vuk only: ‘twi...ns’), nizìna ‘plain’ (in Vuk only: ‘string of gold coins’). At the end of the
paper the geographical terms are listed, by referring to its paragraphs.
