Abstract
In Rijeka since 80s of the 18th century until the end of the 19th century printing house of family Karletzky was in function, where series of different types of publications were printed in Latin script in several language, also in Croatian. These publications in Croatian language are valuable material for research of the history of Croatian literary language and the standardization process in the period from the late 18th century to the end of the 19th century, including the issue of the development of the Croatian Latin script, before and after the Illyrian sript reform. At the center of attention of this paper are graphemic solutions in publications from the Karletzky printing office in Croatian language in the period from 1836 to 1878. The emphasis is on graphemic solutions for those Croatian phonemes that represented a problem in systematization and in creation of unique Croatian script. Graphemic solutions, analyzed in thirty editions, are observed in the contex of the results of Gaj’s, that is Illyrian script reform and activities of other Croatian philological schools in addressing the major issues and problems related to the development of Croatian Latin script in the second half of the 19th century.
