Summary/Abstract: The intermediary language has an important role in the process of linguistic borrowing and has a multiple influence in the formation of loanwords in the receiving language. The influence of the intermediary language is present at all levels of linguistic adaptation and some phenomena of phonological, morphological and even lexical nature can be explained merely due to its existence. German is one of the languages which has had a major position in the Central European region and its influence on Croatian can be noticed both in direct and indirect contacts. This contribution discusses the role of German as an intermediary language in the adaptation of English loans in Croatian.
