Croatian language
Croatian is spoken in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Vojvodina
(Serbia), Montenegro.
Region: Central Europe, Southern Europe.
Croatian language (hrvatski jezik) is a South Slavic language which
is used primarily by the inhabitants of Croatia and Croats in Bosnia and
Herzegovina and parts of the Croatian diaspora. It is one of the standard
versions of the Central-South Slavic diasystem.
Croatian is based on the Ijekavian pronunciation of Štokavian dialect (with some influence from Cakavian and Kajkavian) and written with the Croatian alphabet.
The modern Croatian standard language is a continuous outgrowth of more than nine hundred years of literature written in a mixture of Croatian Church Slavonic and the vernacular language. If the subject is narrowed out, Croatian Church Slavonic had been abandoned by the mid-1400s, and Croatian "purely" vernacular literature has existed for more than five centuries.
