| | Science Fair Projects - Chakavian dialect |
 | | Chakavian (Čakavian, čakavski) dialect is one of the three dialects of Croatian language. |
 | | Since čakavian was the first Croatian dialect to extricate from Church Slavic matrix, both literacy and literature in this dialect abound with numerous texts-from legal and liturgical to literary: lyric and epic poetry, drama, novel in verses, as well as philological works that contain čakavian word-stock. |
 | | This language by far surpassed the position of simple vernacular dialect and strongly influenced other Croatian literary dialects, particularly 353;tokavian: first 353;tokavian texts like Vatican Croatian prayer book, 1400, are transcriptions from čakavian original, and early 353;tokavian literary and philological output, mainly from Dubrovnik (1500-1600), is essentially a mixed idiom, štokavian-čakavian. |
