Šokac_dialect
Šokac (šokački jezik) was a language listed in Austro-Hungarian censuses. Population censuses performed in Austria-Hungary recorded the native language of the citizens, whereby Šokac was declared as native language to one part of the population, presumably members of the Šokci ethnic group.[1] According to the 1910 census, the speakers of Šokac were recorded in the Bačka-Bodrog County, in the municipalities of Apatin, Baja, Odžaci, and Palanka.[1] Although, not very different from Croatian or Serbian Shtokavian speech, Šokac could be identified along with Slavonian dialect of the Old-Shtokavian speech. Today, most of the members of the Šokci community declare themselves as Croats in the census, and their language as Croatian or Serbian.
