Sažetak
A group of Croatians from central Croatia emigrated to Hungary, north of the town of Pečuh, near Dombovar, at the beginning of the 18th century, i.e. in 1715. They settled in the villages Mágocs, Nagyhajmás and Bikal. The speech of these Croats had a Chakavian basis, with more or less influences of other vernaculars. They are based on the Ikavian-Ekavian dialect of the Chakavian vernacular although they do not use the interrogative-relative pronoun ča. The nowaday local speechs of Mágocs and Bikal cannot be researched as the speakers of the Croatian language have deceased, and their descendants are fully Magyarised. Only one inhabitant of Hajmáš speks the Croatian language, the 80-year-old Josip Kasonjić. In July 2004 I was fortunate to speak to Josip Kasonjić at his home in Hajmáš. On the basis of this conversation I concluded that the Hajmáš speech is basically Chakavian, with some Kajkavian and more Štokavian characteristics adopted before the immigration. Only later it underwent Štokavian influence, maybe even from other languages, especially on the lexical level. In brief, on the basis of the speech of the last Croat in Hajmáš, and the comparison of this speech to Chakavian dialects of the Ogulin-Modruška valley and the Gacka valley, it can be determined that the people of Hajmáš originated from the territory between Ogulin and Otočac and on their way to Hajmáš they came into contact with some other Štokavian speeches from which they adopted certain Balkan Turkisms.
