Oriental words in Burgenland Croatian. – The Burgenland Croats are descendants of refugees and migrants who left their home country in the sixteenth century, when the Ottoman Turks intruded into their lands. Their descendants live in Austrian Burgenland, Western Hungary, and near Bratislava in Slovakia. As can be expected, there are only few words that have been taken over from the Ottomans, since language contact did not last for a long period of time. According to the dialects, Burgenland Croatian can be divided into various groups in which the number of oriental words differs. We fi nd the largest number of Orientalisms in the Štokavian Vlahi dialect in Southern Burgenland, which was probably spoken near the mouth of the river Una into the Sava. They must have lived closer to the Ottomans, i. e. further East than the other Burgenland Croats. Some words that are found in all Burgenland Croatian are of Older Turkish origin, and a relatively large number of words has been conveyed by Hungarian or Slovak. The article aims at contributing to Burgenland Croatian lexicography, to the chronology of loan words, and to their geographical distribution. In the article more than fifty lexical items and their derivatives are discussed.
