Abstract
After having examined J. J. Strossmayer's letters written to Franjo Rački, the author has found out that one has to be very careful in fixing the Slavonian dialectal elements in Strossmayer's language. The Croatian literary language of Strossmayer's period is different from the present day Croatian literary language. Strossmayer used the Croatian literary language prescribed by the then existing and used grammars. That is the form of the literary language used and described by the Zagreb philological school headed by A. Veber Tkalčević. It is known as “neoštokavik standard of the Illyrian type.” The author concludes that Strossmayer's language, used in his correspondence, is only slightly tinged by local language elements.
