Thus, it doesn't mean that is Croatian if it's "ijekavian", there are at least 3 milion Serbs who speak "ijekavian", but their registers are in cyrillic. Muslims are also speak "ijekavian", but I don't know anything about registers. It will be helpfull to know what years are about, location and type of register. Zdravko Subakov [email protected]
