Abstract
This paper analyzes the more important linguistic characteristics of the speech of Milna on the island of Brač. The local speech deserves particular attention because it preserves the characteristic appearance of the Chakavian dialect, i.e. Čakavizam in Croatian. In addition to reviewing the Chakavian dialect, this paper also deals with important features of the vocal and consonantal system. The author will try to emphasize specific characteristics of Milna's speech, and will also try to see to what extent the above mentioned features and the Chaka-vian dialect are preserved in the contemporary speech of Milna with both elderly and younger speakers, and which features in turn are about to vanish, or have already vanished entirely.
