Abstract
This article discusses various aspects of specialized languages. After an introductory highlighting the issue of irregular terminology when naming specialized languages in international terminology, the focus shifts to different definitions of chosen names and the relationship between general and specialized language. The article provides a historical overview of theories about the origin and study of specialized languages. Subsequently, it delves into the classification and unique linguistic features of these languages. Given the considerable number of articles and texts on this topic in international linguistics, the aim was to encapsulate the primary theories and debates concerning the naming and definition of specialized languages. Various solutions are analyzed, and commented and presented hre, the aim of which is to propose the most effective solution that might merge European standards while preserving the Croatian tradition and its terminology. The work also proposes a definition and classification of specialized language in Croatian, taking into consideration European standards but also respecting the Croatian tradition and its specific terminology. The results will undoubtedly serve as a valuable guide for future research.
