Appendix:Croatian declension
Definition from Wiktionary, a free dictionary
This appendix shall list all the corner cases of noun/adjectival declensions of the standard Croatian language (Neo-Shtokavian), according to their morphological-accentological type. Given the deficiencies of MediaWiki software installed at Wiktionary at this moment, it's impossible to provide all of these declension paradigms with accent marks in an easy-to-use set of templates, so all the inflected forms must have to be written manually and pumped into {{hr-decl-noun}} and {{hr-decl-adj}}.
Pitch accent system is encoded using the common Slavicist notation employed by basically all Croatian-FL and FL-Croatian dictionaries:
| Slavicist symbol |
IPA symbol |
Description |
|---|---|---|
| e | IPA: [e] | non-tonic short vowel |
| ē | IPA: [eː] | non-tonic long vowel |
| è | IPA: [ě] | short vowel with rising tone |
| é | IPA: [ěː] | long vowel with rising tone |
| ȅ | IPA: [ê] | short vowel with falling tone |
| ȇ | IPA: [êː] | long vowel with falling tone |
Same goes for /a/, /i/, /o/, /u/ and syllabic /r/.
Since combining diacritic marks are not visible enough, all the the accent marks are provided bound to letter 'a'. Case names are conveniently abbreviated as N, G, D, A, V, L and I to indicate identical forms when case syncretism occurs.
