Abstract
The notice deals with the history of the Croatian standard language in Osijek in the period of two hundred years. The basis of the notice are texts by Osijek writers and publications of that time as well as normative texts, grammars, spelling dictionaries and dictionaries from the mentioned period. The notice intends to show to what extent the writers of Osijek followed the Croatian standard language norm but also to what extent they created normative works as linguists (eg J. Vitanović, J. Florschutz) and by doing so contributed to the development and promotion of the Croatian language. The basic part of the notice refers to changes that took place in the Croatian standard language two hundred years ago partially for the natural development of language and partially for imposed changes in particular in the time of prevalence of Croatian Vuk followers. It also makes reference to foreign languages infl uence in Osijek especially in texts containing elements of colloquial language or journalistic style (newspaper).
