Abstract
The paper gives an overview of the consonant system in Memories of
Rama and its Franciscan Monastery by Father Jeronim Vladić. We have
dealt only with the units where there were certain dilemmas in their
usage. That is particularly usage of final l, consonants g, f, affricates č,
ć, dž and đ, as well as noting some sound changes. Vladić, with smaller
deviations, used the mentioned sounds pretty correctly in accordance
to the norm set by Zagreb philological school. He followed the language
norm also while writing the results of some sound changes. Dilemmas
were expressed in usage of the group hv which he used instead of sound
f, then with the sound f instead of which sound p was used in the example
pratar. Sibilarization and jotation were conducted where the norm
predicted that. However there were some dilemmas with jotation in the
old consonant group stj, because of what we found a smaller number of
šćakavisms. Results of sound changes which were made after dropping
semi-vowels were mostly written etymologically except the second jotation.
There were also some smaller deviations with this, but the number
of etymologically written words was bigger than those written phonologically.
There were some other smaller deviations in dropping certain
sounds, as well as appearance of depalatalization.
