Diana Stolac ; Pedagoški fakultet, Rijeka

Abstract

From the first written text in the Croatian language until today it is possible to see many different names for the Croatian language. A great number of terms was used till the Croatian national cultural movement in the 19th century. The article deals with the following terms: hrvatski (harvacki, hervacki, horvacki, rvacki, rvaski, arvaski.. .), slověnski (slovinski, slovenski...), ilirski (ilirički), and also dalmatinski, bosanski and slavonski. At that time composite names like horvatsko-slavinski or iliro-slavenski are very rare. Our analysis shows that there was no composite names like hrvatski ili srpski jezik (Croatian or Serbian language) or hrvatskosrpski jezik (Croato-Serbian language) until the middle of the 19th century. Hrvatski jezik (Croatian language) is the name continually used from the first written text till today.
