The Upper Carniolan dialect group (gorenjska narečna skupina) is a group of closely related dialects of Slovene. The Upper Carniolan dialects are spoken in most of Upper Carniola and in Ljubljana.

Standard Slovene was formed in the 18th and 19th centuries, based on both the Upper and the Lower Carniolan dialect groups, more specifically on the language of Ljubljana and adjacent areas.
