Summary/Abstract: Attention has been paid only to the basic grammatical properties of Croatian, that is to the phonic (minus prosody), morphological and word-formation levels, without any pretension to detail and exhaustiveness. To facilitate orientation. Croatian characteristics are given in comparison with corresponding Serbian ones. The examples show that many facts presented as „doublets"in standard neo-shtokavian as an entity, are in fact forms of either Croatian or Serbian. Or that, at best, the same fact functions in one of these two languages as a mere styleme.
