Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the linguistic characteristics of Šokci and Bunjevci Croats in Bačka and Croats in Srijem, as well as Croats in Andzabeg (south of Budapest) are described. The analysis is based upon the brief prose noted by Balint Vujkov, while listening to local storytellers who were born at the end of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century. It is determined that, a hundred years ago, the local idioms of Croats in Srijem maintained features of the Slavonian dialect, to which they essentially belong.
