Abstract

Two grammars of the “Međimurje” language were published in 1942: Gyakorlati muraközi nyelvtan (Practical Međimurje Grammar) and A muraközi nyelv nyelvtana (Međimurje Language Grammar). The first was written by Budapest professor Jenő Láposi Haller, born in Međimurje, while the other by professor Ivan Christ, from Čakovec, of Slovenian origin. Both grammars served the purpose of integrating occupied Međimurje in the new Hungarian revisionary state. The grammars remain mostly unfamiliar to the academic and scientific circle and have thus remained unexplored. They are published here translated in Croatian along with an introductory discussion.
