What kind of Croatian to the foreigners?

Nives Opačić ; Zagreb

Abstract

Learning and teaching Croatian has been threatened with many difficulties. Croatian linguists still behave as if we, the native speakers, are the only ones interested in Croatian. But there are others who are also interested in our language, i.e. foreigners with different first languages and with different social backgrounds. How much (if at all) are they really keen to learn Croatian since it has undergone many changes, I’ll try to describe in this article. Hopefully I’ll also manage to answer the question in the title of the article --- Where do the threats to Croatian language come from --- from the inside or the outside? This paper should be considered as an invitation to us all in the homeland to think about possible answers.
