The Croatian telephone directory lists under Rijeka's county : 87 surname C^or including 14 surnames listed under Bribir. 15 surname Poz^aric' including 3 surnames listed under Bribir. Two Croatian characters (letters) " c " employ diacritic-accent marks (i.e. caret, caron, hac^ek, or strés^ica) Croatia formalized their alphabet about 1850 with the introduction of a diacritical system. Just two of its diacritical letters are described below. v c pronounced as " ch " in English word ch-urch. c' pronounced as " ch " in English word ch-eap.
