The paper presents the results of a dialect word stock study that was conducted in 2018 among 14–18-year-old students of a secondary grammar school in the Middle Transdanubian dialect region. The respondents (n = 200) live in the small town where they attend school or in the neighboring villages. They filled a questionnaire of 88 dialect words that had been attested at the closest research points (Diszel, Kapolcs, Szentgál) of the Dialect Atlas of Hungarian and have a chance to be known among young speakers of today. 14 dialect words of the questionnaire were not used – and were not even known except one. 74 dialect words are used and 12 of them are used by more than half of the respondents. The study yielded nearly the same results as a former study of 2014 at the same school with the same methods. The author’s hypothesis was confirmed: many young speakers know and use dialect words with the same denotata that can be found in the Dialect Atlas of Hungarian (the enormous amount of data of the atlas were collected between 1949 and 1964).
