Histroy of Croatian languange
Croatia has a written language heritage of its beginning already in the late XI. century. The oldest Croatian texts are written in a kind of mixture of the Croatian version of the Church Slavonic language and the archaic 'chakavian' (čakavsko) and exclusively Glagolitic. From XII. Century Croats develop their own version of the Cyrillic alphabet, the Croatian Cyrillic (commonly referred to in the 20th century literature), and from the 14th century. Centuries are increasingly used in Latin scripts. The influence of the Croatian editorial of the Church Slavonic language gradually diminishes after the XIV. And especially after the Turkish invasion in the 15th century , when provincial literacy is developed in the historical Croatian territory on the individual dialects of all three Croatian dialects. In the 16th and 17th centuries The Croatian 'Chakavian' (čakavština) and especially Stochavian (štokavština) literature reach the European literary level.
The beginnings of Croatian language standardization date back to the beginning of the 17th century: in 1604 Bartol Kašić published in Rome the first Croatian grammar of the Institutionum linguae Ilyricae, used in writing the influential official text of the Roman Ritual and which, following that "official prayer", significantly influences the language of prayer and Church prayers - which are then known even to illiterate people.

In Croatian, there are seven declarations: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, verbal, instrumental, and vocativ. They are modified by the continuation of the word extension, with the exception of quotation marks, which is identical to the datum (except for some alternate and adjective forms), but requires a proposition in itself (although it may have stood alone).
