Abstract
The first Burgenland Croatian books were written by priests; those who until the 19th century formed the intellectual stratum among Croats in the western Hungarian area. The author mentions several culture leaders and educators who contributed to the preservation and development of the Burgenland Croatian language. He especially emphasises Mate Meršić Miloradić, the most renowned Burgenland Croatian poet who primarily through his verses educated the people in their mother tongue. At the end of his paper the author mentions three facts that had an influence on the linguistic specificities of Burgenland Croatian language.
