Croatian language: Encyclopedia II - Croatian language - Unification and separation with Serbian

The establishment of the Yugoslavian state was an important event in the history of the Croatian language. The Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1918-1941) was dominated by the Serbian government, which tried to use a joint language in the spirit of supra-national Yugoslav ideology. This meant that Croatian and Serbian were no longer developed individually side by side, but were attempted to be forged into one language under political pressure. Owing to the nature of the state politics at the time, this forging was resultant in a Serbian-based l ...

Croatian language: Encyclopedia II - Croatia in the Habsburg Empire - 19th century up to WWI

The governments of Austria and Hungary each tried to colonize Croatia over a period of several centuries: they imposed their languages on the Croatian people and settled many Austrian and Hungarian colonists in Croatia. Croatian romantic nationalism emerged to counteract the non-violent but apparent Germanization and Magyarization. The Croatian national revival began in the 1830s with the Illyrian Movement. The movement was misnamed (some wrongly thought that they primarily descended from the ancient Illyrians rather than the Slav settlers), ...

Croatian language: Encyclopedia II - History of Croatia - Croatian lands before the Croats until 7th c.

With the breakup of Yugoslavia, nationalism has also caused ma ...

Croatian language: Encyclopedia II - Croatian linguistic purism - The Yugoslav period

During Yugoslav period, from 1918 to 1990, the Croatian language was subject to "unification" with the Serbian language into Serbo-Croatian Language. Opinions about the nature of that unification vary; many Croats now regard it as forced (and that assertion was one of driving forces of national awakening in 1990s). The only brief exception was in the puppet "Independent State of Croatia", 1941 to 1945, when totalitarian dictatorship of Ante Pavelić pushed purist tendencies to extremes. No Croatian dictionaries or grammars were publis ...
