Kroatisch-Čakavisches aus Südmähren %X The Croatian dialect of Southern Moravia – After the Second World War the population of three Croatian villages near Drnholec / Dürnholz and Mikulov / Nikolsburg in Southern Moravia in the Czech Republic was expelled by the communist authorities, and replaced by Czech residents. Most of the Croats were resettled in other parts of Moravia, some fled to Austria where they stayed or migrated to other countries. This article describes the language of a Moravian Croat, who fled to Austria at the age of twelve, and later emigrated to Canada. The dialect is Čakavian ikavian-ekavian and closely related to the Burgenland Croatian. However, since the 16th century this language has been strongly influenced by Czech and German, and the population has been trilingual. Czech influences upon the Croatian language can be observed in the field of phonetics, grammar, lexicon and phraseology, whereas German influences are restricted to the lexicon and phraseology. The linguistic description is supplemented by a text which illustrates the pragmatic functioning of the language. %U https://doi.org/10.13173/wienslavjahr.5.2017.0133 %0 Journal Article %R 10.13173/wienslavjahr.5.2017.0133 %J Wiener Slavistisches Jahrbuch.
