=== Languages of the Records === | |||
The language of the records is mostly Latin, Croatian, Hungarian, or Italian. Glagolitic and Cyrillic as well as Roman script occur in the records. | |||
*'''Latin''': an Indo-European language, moderately inflected, and used extensively by the Roman Catholic Church. | |||
*'''Serbian''': a Slavic language closely allied to Croatian. Considered the official language of Yugoslavia. Serbian differs from Croatian slightly in vocabulary and is written in the Cyrillic script. | |||
*'''German''': official language of the Austrian Empire, and as such the language of record for the Austrian military. | |||
*'''Glagolitic''': properly speaking, Glagolitsa is a script, not a language. The literature of Dalmatia, however, took on a unique character that can be considered at least a dialect. In most circumstances one can read the text of a Glagolitic manuscript if s/he is familiar with Croatian and the epigraphy. | |||
*'''Croatian''': the language used for most post-Latin period Roman Catholic parish registers. Distinguished from Serbian primarily for reasons of nationalism. | |||
*'''Hungarian''': all civil documents, from partition of Austria-Hungary to end of WWI. | |||
*'''Italian''': language common to the 1600-1800. Roman Catholic parish registers for Dalmatia and Istria. | |||
*'''Slovene''': language of Slovenia, closely allied with Serbo-Croatian. | |||
