Retlex of Early Croatian Long Yat in Croatian Graphy

Dalibor Brozović

Abstract

Standard Croatian has accepted the jekavian speech of Dubrovnik, but some points
have continucd presenting problems. One such is the writing of rcplacement of the
Early Croatian yat ina long syllable. fora long time thcre was no unity over what the
replacemcnt stood for: the sound group ije or the diphthong ie. As a result, their graphic
representation was either an e (the so-called "horned e''), an ie or ije. The general
agreement today favors thc diphthong ie, so the author advocates the spelling "ie".
