Foreign elements in Croatian geographic terminology

Dunja Brozović Rončević

Abstract

Croatian geographic terminology and related toponyms playes a specific role within the context of toponymie systems of other Slavic languages. The complex stratification of Croatian toponymy is the result of accumulated onomastic strata characteristic of various ethnolinguistic groups found in present-day Croatia. This phenomena is also a reflection of various types of linguistic interpenetration and centuries of coexistence of Croats and other ethnolinguistic groups.

Keywords
