Bartol Kašić
Kašić called the language used in "Ritual rimski" as "naški" ("our language") or "bosanski" ("Bosnian"). He used the term "Bosnian" even though he was born in a Chakavian region: instead he decided to adopt a "common language" ("lingua communis"), a version of Shtokavian Ikavian, spoken by the majority the speakers of Serbo-Croatian. He used the terms "dubrovački" (from Dubrovnik) for the Ijekavian version used in his Bible, and "dalmatinski" (Dalmatian) for the Chakavian version.In Croatian:
