Abstract
The term "Slavonian dialect” encompasses old Croatian vernaculars called “štokavski”, spoken in the Slavonian part of the Drava region, in the central part of eastern Slavonia, in the Croatian part of Baranja and some of the places outside the borders of the Republic of Croatia. The Slavonian dialect is spoken outside of the Republic of Croatia in some places in north-eastern Bosnia, in the western part of the Bačka Danube basin in Yugoslavia and several places near the Drava river on the Hungarian side.
The paper discusses the features of the Slavonian dialect: predominatly older stress system that preserves the accent well, not “ijekavian” changes of “jat”, so colled “šćakavski” vernacular, softening of the sounds “1” and “n”, non-existence of the sound “h”, the older state of morphology, word-formation characteristics, etc.
