The Kajkavian dialect /kˈkviən/ (Kajkavian noun: kajkavščina; Shtokavian adjective: kajkavski [kǎjkaʋskiː],[2] noun: kajkavica or kajkavština [kajkǎːʋʃtina])[3] is a dialect of the Serbo-Croatian language spoken by Croats in Central Croatia,[4] Gorski Kotar[5] and northern Istria.[note 1][6][7] It has low mutual intelligibility with the Shtokavian dialect upon which Croatia's standard language is based.[8][9] Some notable linguists consider Kajkavian to be a language of its own.[10] As of 2015, Literary Kajkavian has a separate language ISO 639-3 code – kjv. Active attempts are being made by some organizations to widen its recognition and status, which has thus far included introduction of school subjects in Kajkavian in some parts of Croatia as well as the creation of the aforementioned ISO code.[11]

The term Kajkavian stems from the interrogative pronoun kaj (what). The other main dialects of Serbo-Croatian also derive their name from their reflex of the interrogative pronoun.[12][13] However, the pronouns are only general pointers and do not serve as actual identifiers of the respective dialects. Certain Kajkavian dialects use the interrogative pronoun ča, the one that is usually used in the Chakavian dialect. The pronouns these dialects are named after are merely the most common one in that dialect.

Outside of Croatia, the dialect is also spoken in Austrian Burgenland and a number of enclaves in Hungary (along the Austrian and Croatian border), and Romania.[14] Although speakers of Kajkavian are Croats, and Kajkavian is as such also considered a dialect of Serbo-Croatian, its closest relative is the Slovene language, followed by Chakavian and then Shtokavian. Kajkavian is part of a dialect continuum with both Slovene and Chakavian.[15]

Classification

Historically, the classification of Kajkavian has been a subject of much debate. Both the question of whether it ought to be considered a dialect or a language, as well as the question of what its relation is to neighboring speeches. Since at least early to mid-20th century, Kajkavian has been conventionally classified as a Serbo-Croatian dialect.

Autonyms used throughout history by various Kajkavian writers have been manifold, ranging from merely the term Slavic (slavonski, slovenski, slovinski), the term Croatian (horvatski), or Illyrian (illirski).[16][17] The naming went through several phases, with the Slavic-based name initially being dominant. Over time, the name Croatian started gaining ground, mainly during the 17th century, and by the beginning of the 18th century it had supplanted the older name Slavic. The name also followed the same evolution in neighboring Slovene Prekmurje, although there the name Slovene-Croatian (slovensko-horvatski) existed as well.[18] The actual term Kajkavian (kajkavski) is today accepted by its speakers in Croatia.

The problem of classifying Kajkavian within the South Slavic language node stems from its structural differences from neighboring Shtokavian speeches as well as its historical closeness to Slovene speeches. Some Slavists maintain that when the separation of Western South Slavic speeches happened, that they separated into four divergent groups—Shtokavian, Chakavian, Kajkavian and Slovene.[19] As a result of this, throughout history Kajkavian has often been categorized differently than today. It was considered by many to be either a separate node altogether, or a node categorized together with Slovene (then under a different name, kranjski). Furthermore, no isoglosses exist that would separate all Slovene speeches from all Serbo-Croatian speeches. Nor do innovations exist common to Kajkavian, Chakavian, and Shtokavian that would separate them from Slovene.[20][21]

Characteristics

The Kajkavian speech area is bordered in the northwest by Slovene language and in the northeast by Hungarian language. In the east and southeast it is bordered by Shtokavian dialects roughly along a line that used to serve as the border between Civil Croatia and the Habsburg Military Frontier. Finally, in the southwest it borders Chakavian along the Kupa and Dobra rivers.[22] It is thought that historically these borders extended further to the south and east. For example, the eastern border is thought to have extended at least well into modern-day Slavonia, to the area around the town of Pakrac. Some historical toponyms suggest an even slightly larger extent.[23]

The capital Zagreb has historically been a Kajkavian-speaking area and Kajkavian is still in use by its older population and to a lesser extent younger population. Modern Zagreb speech has been under considerable influence of Shtokavian.[24] The vast intermingling of Kajkavian and standard Shtokavian in Zagreb and its surroundings has led to problems in defining the underlying structure of those speeches. As a result, many of the urban speeches (but not rural ones) have been called either Kajkavian koine or Kajkavian–Shtokavian rather than being described as being either Kajkavian or Shtokavian.[25] Additionally, the forms of speech in use exhibit significant sociolinguistic variation. Research suggests that younger Zagreb-born speakers of Kajkavian koine tend to consciously use more Kajkavian features when speaking to older people, showing that such features are still in their inventory even if not used at all times.[26] However, Kajkavian koine is distinct from Kajkavian as spoken in non-urban areas and the mixing of Shtokavian and Kajkavian outside of urban settings is much rarer and less developed. The Kajkavian koine has also been named Zagreb Shtokavian by some.[25]

As a result of the previously mentioned mixing of dialects, various Kajkavian features and characteristics have found their way into standard Shtokavian (standard Croatian) as spoken by people in those areas. For example, some of the prominent features are the fixed stress-based accentual system without distinctive lengths, the merger of /č/ and /ć/ and of /dž/ and /đ/, vocabulary differences as well as a different place of stress in words.[27] This Zagreb variety of Shtokavian is considered by some to enjoy parallel prestige with the otherwise proscribed Shtokavian variety. Because of that, speakers whose native speech is closer to the standard variety often end up adopting the Zagreb speech for various reasons.[28]

Kajkavian is closely related to Slovene and to Prekmurje Slovene in particular.[29] Higher amounts of correspondences between the two exist in inflection and vocabulary. Speakers of Prekmurian are Slovenes and Hungarian Slovenes who belonged to the Archdiocese of Zagreb during the Habsburg era. They used Kajkavian as their liturgical language and by the 18th century, Kajkavian had become the standard language of Prekmurje.[30] Moreover, literary Kajkavian was also used in neighboring Slovene Styria during the 17th and 18th centuries and in parts of it, education was conducted in Kajkavian.[31]

As a result of various factors, Kajkavian has numerous differences compared to Shtokavian:

In addition to the above list of some of the characteristics that set Kajkavian apart from Shtokavian, research suggests possible closer relation with the Slovak language, especially with the Central Slovak dialects upon which standard Slovak is based on. As modern-day Hungary used to be populated by Slavic-speaking peoples prior to the arrival of Hungarians, there have been hypotheses on possible common innovations of future West and South Slavic speakers of that area. Kajkavian is most prominent of the South Slavic speeches in sharing the most features that could potentially be common Pannonian innovations.[56]

Some Kajkavian words bear a closer resemblance to other Slavic languages (such as Russian) than they do to Shtokavian or Chakavian. For instance gda seems to be, at first glance, unrelated to kada, however, when compared to the Russian когда, the Slovene kdaj, or the Prekmurian gda, kda, the relationship becomes more apparent. Kajkavian kak (how) and tak (so) are exactly like their Russian cognates, as compared to Shtokavian and Chakavian kako and tako, in Prekmurian in turn tak, kak (in Slovene like Chakavian: tako, kako). (This vowel loss occurred in most other Slavic languages; Shtokavian is a notable exception, whereas the same feature of Macedonian is probably not a Serbo-Croatian influence, because the word is preserved in the same form in Bulgarian, to which Macedonian is much more closely related than to Serbo-Croatian.)

History of research

Linguistic investigation had begun during 19th century, although the research itself had often ended in non-linguistic or nowadays outdated conclusions. As that was also the age of national revivals across Europe as well as the South Slavic lands, it meant that research was steered by national narratives. Within that framework, Slovene philologists such as Franc Miklošič and Jernej Kopitar had attempted to reinforce the idea of Slovene and Kajkavian unity and asserted that Kajkavian speakers are Slovenes.[57][58] On the other hand, the likes of Josef Dobrovský had also claimed linguistic and national unity between the two groups but under the Croatian ethnonym.[59][60]

The first modern dialectal investigations of Kajkavian started at the end of the 19th century. The Ukrainian philologist A.M. Lukjanenko wrote the first comprehensive monograph on the subject of Kajkavian (titled Kajkavskoe narečie meaning The Kajkavian dialect) in Russian in 1905.[61] Kajkavian dialects have been classified along various criteria: Serbian philologist Aleksandar Belić had divided (1927) the Kajkavian dialect according to the reflexes of Proto-Slavic phonemes /tj/ and /dj/ into three subdialects: eastern, northwestern and southwestern.[62]

However, later investigations did not corroborate Belić's division. Contemporary Kajkavian dialectology originates mainly from Croatian philologist Stjepan Ivšić's work "Jezik Hrvata kajkavaca" (The Language of Kajkavian Croats, 1936), which highlights accentual characteristics. Due to the great diversity within Kajkavian, primarily in phonetics, phonology, and morphology—the Kajkavian dialectological atlas features a large number of subdialects: from four identified by Ivšić, up to six proposed by Croatian linguist Brozović (formerly the accepted division) and up to fifteen according to a monograph by Croatian linguist Mijo Lončarić (1995).

Kajkavian is chiefly spoken in northern and northwestern Croatia. The mixed half-Kajkavian towns along the eastern and southern edge of Kajkavian speaking area are Pitomača, Čazma, Kutina, Popovača, Sunja, Petrinja, Martinska Ves, Ozalj, Ogulin, Fužine, and Čabar, with included newer Štokavian enclaves of Bjelovar, Sisak, Glina, Dubrava, Zagreb and Novi Zagreb. The southernmost Kajkavian villages are Krapje at Jasenovac; and Pavušek, Dvorišče and Hrvatsko selo in Zrinska Gora (R. Fureš & A. Jembrih: Kajkavski u povijesnom i sadašnjem obzorju p. 548, Zabok 2006).

The major cities in northern Croatia with that have historically been Kajkavian speaking areas chiefly Zagreb, Koprivnica, Krapina, Križevci, Varaždin, Čakovec, etc. The typical and archaic Kajkavian is today spoken chiefly in Zagorje hills and Medjimurje plain, and in adjacent areas of northwestern Croatia where other immigrants and Štokavian standard had much less influence. The most peculiar Kajkavian archidiom (Baegnunski) is spoken at Bednja in northernmost Croatia. Many of northern Croatian urban areas today are partly Štokavianized due to the influence of standard language and immigration of Štokavian speakers.

Other southeastern people who immigrate to Zagreb from Štokavian territories often pick up rare elements of Kajkavian in order to assimilate, notably the pronoun "kaj" instead of "što" and the extended use of future anterior (futur drugi), but they never adapt well because of alien eastern accents and ignoring Kajkavian-Čakavian archaisms and syntax.

Kajkavian literary language

Writings that are judged by some as being distinctly Kajkavian can be dated to around the 12th century.[63] The first comprehensive works in Kajkavian started to appear during the 16th century, at a time when the region of Central Croatia gained prominence due to the geopolitical environment—free from Ottoman occupation. The most notable work of that era was Ivanuš Pergošić's Decretum, released in 1574. Decretum was a translation of István Werbőczys Tripartitum.

At the same time, many protestant writers of the Slovene lands also released their works in Kajkavian so as to reach a wider audience, while also sometimes using Kajkavian features in their native writings. During that time, the autonym used by the writers was usually slovinski (Slavic), horvatski (Croatian) or ilirski (Illyrian).[64]

After that, numerous works appeared in Kajkavian literary language: chronicles by Vramec, liturgical works by Ratkaj, Habdelić, Mulih; poetry of Ana Katarina Zrinska, dramatic opus of Tituš Brezovački. Kajkavian-based are important lexicographic works like Jambrešić's "Dictionar", 1670, and monumental (2,000 pages and 50,000 words) inter-dialectal (Chakavian–Shtokavian–Kajkavian, but based on Kajkavian idiom) dictionary "Gazophylacium" by Ivan Belostenec (posthumously, 1740). Miroslav Krleža's poetic work "Balade Petrice Kerempuha" drew heavily on Belostenec's dictionary. Kajkavian grammars include Kornig's, 1795, Matijević's, 1810 and Đurkovečki's, 1837.

During that time, Kajkavian literary language was the dominant written form in its spoken area, along with Latin and German.[65] Until Ljudevit Gaj's attempts to modernize the spelling, Kajkavian had been written using Hungarian spelling conventions.[66] Kajkavian began to lose its status during the Croatian National Revival in mid 19th century when the leaders of the Illyrian movement opted to use the Shtokavian dialect as basis for the future South Slavic standard language, reason behind it being that it had the highest number of speakers. Initially, the choice of Shtokavian was accepted even among Slovene intellectuals as well but later on it fell out of favor.[66] The Zagreb linguistic school was opposed to the course that the standardization process took. Namely, it had almost completely ignored Kajkavian (and Chakavian) dialects, which was contrary to their original vision. With the notable exception of vocabulary influence of Kajkavian on the standard Croatian register (but not the Serbian one), there was very little to no input from other non-Shtokavian dialects.[67]

Early 20th century had witnessed a drastic increase in released Kajkavian literature, although by then it had become part of what was considered Croatian dialectal poetry and with no pretense of serving as a standard written form. The most notable writers of this period were, among others, Antun Gustav Matoš, Miroslav Krleža, Ivan Goran Kovačić, Dragutin Domjanić and Nikola Pavić.

Kajkavian lexical treasure is being published by the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in "Rječnik hrvatskoga kajkavskoga književnoga jezika"/Dictionary of the Croatian Kajkavian Literary Language, 8 volumes (1999).

Latterly Dario Vid Balog, actor, linguist and writer translate the New Testament in Kajkavian.[68]

Below are examples of the Lord's Prayer in the Croatian variant of Shtokavian, literary Kajkavian and a Međimurje variant of the Kajkavian dialect.

Oče naš, koji jesi na nebesima,
sveti se ime tvoje,
dođi kraljevstvo tvoje,
budi volja tvoja,
kako na nebu tako i na zemlji.
Kruh naš svagdanji daj
nam danas
i otpusti nam duge naše,
kako i mi otpuštamo dužnicima našim,
i ne uvedi nas u napast,
nego izbavi nas od zla.
Amen.

Otec naš, koj si na nebesi,
sveti se ime tvoje,
dojdi kralestvo tvoje,
budi vola tvoja,
kak na nebu tak i na zemli.
Kruha našega vsagdašnega dej
nam denes.
I otpusti nam duge naše,
kak i mi otpuščamo dužnikom našim,
i ne vpelaj nas vu skušavanje,
nego oslobodi nas od zla.
Amen.[1]

Japek naš ki si v nebesaj,
nek se sveti ime Tvoje,
nek prihaja cesarstvo Tvoje,
nek bo volja Tvoja,
kakti na nebi tak pa na zemlji.
Kruhek naš vsakdaneši daj

ter odpuščaj nam duge naše,
kakti i mi odpuščamo dužnikom našim,
ter naj nas vpelati v skušnje,
nek zbavi nas od vsakih hudobah.
Amen.

Kajkavian media

During Yugoslavia in the 20th century, Kajkavian was mostly restricted in private communication, poetry and folklore. By the recent regional democratizing and cultural revival from 1990s, Kajkavians partly regained their former half-public positions chiefly in Zagorje County and Varaždin County and local towns, being now presented there in some modern public media e.g.:

Notes

  1. The Kajkavian speech of northern Istria is conventionally called Kajkavian but the features that differentiate it from neighboring Chakavian are not strictly or distinctly Kajkavian nor are those speech forms located in continuum with any other Kajkavian speech in Croatia. They have features common to both Slovene across the border as well as Kajkavian elsewhere.
