Abstract
The paper deals with the basic postulates of historical or diachronical dialectology and its origins and achievements in the traditional 19th-century Slavic and Croatian philology. The sources used in historical dialectology are listed, with special emphasis on the relevance of the data obtained from written texts. The reasons why they started to be viewed critically are discussed, as well as the consequences of denying their relevance. The paper presents the achievements in the historical dialectology of Croatian language and discusses the perspectives for future research.
