Croatian Vukovians

Croatian Vukovians ( Croatian Hrvatski vukovci ) were those Croatian philologists who used the principles of Vuk Karadžić in their works . They founded one of the four philological schools that emerged in Croatia in the middle of the 19th century to create a standard language to succeed the Kajkavian literary language and as a reaction to Serbian unification efforts.

The most important works of the Vukovci were Hrvatski pravopis ( Croatian orthography ) by Ivan Broz (1892), Gramatika i stilistika hrvatskoga ili srpskoga jezika ( grammar and stylistics of the Croatian or Serbian language ) by Tomo Maretić (1899), Rječnik hrvatskoga jezika ( dictionary of Croatian Language ) by Ivan Broz and Franjo Iveković (1901) and Rječnik hrvatskoga ili srpskoga jezika ( Dictionary of the Croatian or Serbian Language ), which Đuro Daničić began to publish (1880 ff.).
