    • 1640, Bartol Kašić, Ritval Rimski:
      Ovim dakle nacinnom odlùcih yà Pijſmo ovega Rituala, illi Obicàynika iſtomacciti naſcki, bivſci yà govorio, i opcchìo s’ gliùdmi od razliçih Ruſàgà Slovinskih, hodecchi pò sfijtu: i yàſam gnih ovakka govorenya razumio, i oniſu moya: (Karstyanni, Raſciàni, Serbgli Poluvirçi, i Turci·)
      Ovim dakle načinom odlučih ja pismo ovega rituala, ili običajnika, istumačiti naški, bivši ja govorio, i općio s ljudmi od različih rusaga slovinskih hodeći po svitu. I ja sam njih ovaka govorenja razumio, i oni su moja — Krstjani, Rašćani, Srblji poluvirci, i Turci.
      So in this manner I decided to translate the writing of this ritual into our speech, which I spoke, and I communicated with people from the various Slovinian countries in the world. And I understood their speech like this, and they understood mine — the Christians (i.e. Catholic Slavs), the Rascians, the half-faithful (i.e. Eastern Orthodox) Serbs, and the Turks (i.e. Muslim Slavs).
