Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to point out the role and importance of Latin language in the first half of the 19th century which was in Croatia a part of municipal law (iura municipalia) of Croatian nobility, therfore estate "natio croatica" (classes and orders were the kingdom and natio that forms the kingdom and that carries name after him - natio croatica), and that means the Croatian kingdom. Croatian estates and orders were defending Latin as the official language not only to protect their privileges of the feudal written in these language, but also primarily to defend Croatia "municipal" law, or their right to decide about anything that falls under its own autonomy, therfore and the question wich will be the official language in Croatia. By introducing of another's language, Croatian nobility would remain without their official language, the one of its rights. Croatian nobility, defending the use of Latin language, also defended from the dangers that could rip off the administrative unity of the Triune Kingdom. In fact, it would be happened by leaving the Latin in the situation in wich the Banal Croatia does not have built linguistic standard of Croatian language. Latin is the language of a centuries-old use and it has become a part of the Croatian constitution, and thus a part of that core which defines the estates position of the Croatian nobility as defender of Croatian statehood. The abolition of feudalism in 1848th is the formal end of the "nationis croaticae" and also is an affirmation of the Croatian nation, wich included the nobility under the notion of people and formed a new type of community – free from class differences. The struggle for national language then conducted at two different levels, one that has resisted the introduction of the Hungarian language in schools and administration, and one that has sought to link "membra disjecta ", scattered parts of the Triune Kingdom by introducing a common language who had replaced Latin and take his function in the construction of the Croatian national identity.
