Croatian is composed of three main dialects, one of which, Shtokavian, is shared with Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. This shared dialect is the basis of all four standard languages, so Standard Croatian grammar is quite similar to the other standards. However, there are substantial differences with the Kajkavian and Chakavian dialects, which are spoken almost exclusively within Croatia.
Standard Croatian grammar
Main article: Serbian and Croatian grammarStandard Croatian, like Standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin, is based on the Eastern Hercegovinian accent of the Štokavian dialect of Serbo-Croatian. There are minimal differences between them, though in practice all four peoples of a particular area often use the same forms. See differences between standard Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian.
Kajkavian grammar
Main article: Kajkavian dialect | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it or making an edit request. |
Kajkavian, spoken in the Croat capital Zagreb, is intermediate between Standard Croatian and Slovene dialects. However, it has undergone extensive influence from the Shtokavian standard.
Chakavian grammar
Main article: Chakavian dialect | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it or making an edit request. |
Chakavian, spoken along the Dalmatian coast, is often scarcely intelligible to speakers of Standard Croatian, though like Kajkavian it has been strongly influenced by it.
