Abstract
With her research work on the marriages between Kajkavians to Chakavians and Shtokavians based on anthroponymic literature, the Fužine parish register of birth, marriage and death, as well as other documents, the paper's author proves that the old basis, i.e. vernacular substrate of the three westernmost Kajkavian-speaking settlements (Fužine, Vrata, Belo Selo) is of the Pokupsko area Kajkavian dialect provenance, altering with the inflow of Chakavians during the 18th and 19th centuries, whereas the Shtokavian dialect of the neighbouring Lič settlement made no impact.
If research work is done evenly in both the Kajkavian homes as in those with mixed marriages, starting from the first census in the middle of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century when a significant, nearly complete loss of domestic vernacular takes place, this idiom is in fact Kajkavian, and not Chakavian-Kajkavian, as was erroneously presented a hundred years ago and still is presented to date.
Keywords
