	Chakavian_dialect LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER
		Chakavian may be classified as a dialect of the Central South Slavic diasystem, generally referred from the Croatian language but is exclusively a Croatian dialect.
		Chakavian is the oldest written Croatian dialect that had made visible appearance in legal documents - as early as 1275 ("Istrian land survey")[1] and 1288 ("Vinodol codex"), the predominantly vernacular Chakavian is recorded, mixed with elements of Church Slavic.
		Chakavian was the main public and official language in medieval Croatia from 13th to 16th century.

		Croatian Dialects: Croatian has three dialects, generally distinguished by the pronoun “what” - Chakavian, Kajkavian and Shtokovian.
		Chakavian is spoken mainly in Istria, the Adriatic sea coast, Dalmatian littoral and the islands.
		Kajkavian is spoken in the northwestern parts of Croatia, including Zagreb, as well as in a few Croatian language islands in Austria, Hungary and Romania.

		These dialects are called Shtokavian because they use the form što (pronounced in English as shto) for the interrogative pronoun ‘what?'.
		They are distinguished from the Chakavian dialects of western Croatia, Istria, the coast of Dalmatia (where a literature in this dialect developed in the 15th century), and some islands in the Adriatic; in those areas ca (pronounced in English as cha) is the form for ‘what?'.
		A third main group of Serbo-Croatian dialects, spoken in northwestern Croatia, uses kaj rather than što or ca and is therefore called Kajkavian.

		Descendant of a French soldier who came here during Napoleon's occupation, Drago Gervais still remains the greatest name that the literature of all of Liburnia has to offer.
		Gervais left Opatija a collection of poems in the Chakavian dialect, several dramas and short stories and - more or less, that would be all.
		However, whole generations were brought up on this handful of simple stuctured verse and consequentially created a long line of less successful epigons.

		That is, in gemination, the stressed vowel of a derivative is seen to stand in correspondence to the stressed vowel of a related base form--even though the derived form may have experienced a stress shift.
		In the Orlec dialect of the Chakavian branch of the Serbo-Croatian dialect continuum, vowels can be underlyingly either long or short.
		This phonemic length contrast is neutralized in two separate environments: in unaccented syllables long vowels shorten, and in accented syllables closed by a sonorant short vowels lengthen.

	Anthropometric variation and population structure of the island of Pag, Croatia Human Biology - Find Articles
		The ancestral Slavic (Croatian) inhabitants of the island, who settled on Pag between the sixth and eighth centuries, spoke the Chakavian dialect of the Croatian language, traditional on the Dalmatian coast.
		Particularly significant migrations occurred in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when the population from the Ravni Kotari region of the interior fled from Turkish invaders to the islands of the Zadar region.
		The population structure of Pag was probably influenced not only by its shape but also by its administrative division into two parts since the eleventh century.

		The modern standard language is based on ijekavian shtokavian dialect (like Serbian and Bosnian, with which it's mutually intelligible).
		There are two other dialects, chakavian (spoken in Istria and Dalmatia) and kajkavian, (spoken in Zagorje and wider Zagreb area), which to an extent have been influenced and superseded by the standard, yet they still color the respective vernacular speaches.
		Despite that diversity, Croats take their language as a strong issue of national consciousness and are fairly negative towards foreign influences.
