Dialects of Serbo-Croatian
Kajkavian is spoken in North Croatia, including the capital Zagreb, as well as in a few enclaves in Austria, Hungary, and Romania. Though its speakers are ethnic Croats and Kajkavian is thus generally considered a dialect of Serbo-Croatian, it is closer to neighboring Slovene than it is to Chakavian or Shtokavian. The Kajkavian area of Croatia is bordered on the northwest by Slovene language territory. It is bordered on the east and southeast by Shtokavian dialects roughly along a line that was the former division between Civil Croatia and the Habsburg Military Frontier; in southwest along Kupa and Dobra rivers, it persisted in ancient (medieval) contact with Chakavian dialects.
Jakov Mikalja
It was the first Croatian dictionary, with Croatian (under name of "Illyric" or "Slovinian") as the starting language (in the very same dictionary, he treats the terms Croatian, Slovinian and Illyric as synonyms ). An Important thing to note is that Micaglia names in his dictionary Croatian language as ""Illyric"" or "Slovinian", Italian as ""Latin"", which he names as the ""students' language"" (diacki). The introduction to the dictionary has a "Latin" dedication, a note to the reader in Italian ("Al benigno lettore"), a presentation of the alphabet and orthography in Latin and Croatian ("Od ortographie jezika slovinskoga ili načina od pisanja"), and an Italian grammar in Croatian ("Grammatika Talianska").
