Sažetak
The Bayash (Boyash), according to estimations, represent about three quarters of the total Roma minority in Croatia. Their mother tongue is Romanian, more precisely Dacoromanian dialectal varieties. There are three linguistic varieties of Bayash Romanian spoken in Croatia - Transylvanian, Baranja Muntenian and Ludari Muntenian. These varieties differ from each other and from Standard Romanian foremost in the field of phonology but also morphosyntax, and they are somewhat archaic in comparison to related dialects from Romania. The Bayash dialects also show other particularities due to the influence of the Croatian language and the resulting language contact. Although the Bayash are numerous in Croatia, due to several factors there haven't been many publications in these dialects until relatively recently, when they started appearing, however in a small number. Interestingly, a significant part of these publications are of religious character and a great part of them are appearing on-line. The aim of this paper is to analyze the publications in Bayash Romanian in Croatia, giving insight on the type of published material. Our special focus will be on the orthography question, which is especially interesting, since there is no generally accepted orthography and the Bayash Romanian varieties aren't standardized. Standard Romanian with its orthography is, on the other hand, regularly perceived as a similar, but foreign language, due to differences in phonology, grammar and vocabulary.
