Abstract
The most meritorious analysts of the Kajkavian speeches of eastern Gorski kotar are Božidar Finka and Vida Barac-Grum. In their articles, the speeches of eastern Gorski kotar have been classified in one homogeneous system – the Lukovdol speech type. However, there are differences between some local speeches, respectively between the records in dialectologic literature and the present situation; newer dialectological research has been conducted. The results are as follows: the speech of Lukovdol experienced no major changes in the last 50 years. Nevertheless, some phonological and morphological differences exist between the speech of Lukovdol and the rest of villages. It may easily be sensed that in the previous century, the main research focus was on the speech of Lukovdol, while the linguistic characteristics of other villages were conducted by generalisation. It is further necessary to broaden the research, update and correct previous knowledge, and consider the possibility of the classification of eastern Gorski kotar Kajkavian subdialect to at least two speech subtypes.
