Summary/Abstract: On the basis of the questionnaire “Questions about the speech of the common people” from 1897, identifying the most important questions from the morphological level (out of a total of 53 questions we analyzed 24 of them), we shed light on the morphological features of Visoko speech. The data obtained indicate that the Visoko speech belongs to the ijekavskošćakavski dialect. This is nothing new, the dialectological literature has long placed this speech within the borders of the ijekavskošćakavski dialect (Brozović 1963: 120), except that we now have additional morphological examples that bear witness to it.
