Place Name Adjectives as an Orthographic Issue

Sanda Ham orcid.org/0000-0002-8236-5892

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the writing of place name adjectives in Croatian spelling
books from 1892 to 2013. In Croatian spelling books place name adjectives were written
in their original form until the unitarianist political intrusions into the Croatian language
and Croatian orthography in 1930 and 1960. Ever since, the writing of place name adjectives
has been distorted, and modern spelling books standardize it in three basic ways: a)
according to their pronunciation (with transcription rules), b) in their original form, and c)
in two different ways.
