Abstract

This chapter will examine language policy on the macro-level (see Chapter 2), namely the legal basis for language management in the Republic of Croatia and the ways that language is regulated on the national level in areas directly under governmental control. The starting point here is clearly the declaration of an official language in the Croatian constitution. The relevant article of the constitution is succinct: Article 12 In the Republic of Croatia the Croatian language and Latin alphabet are in official use. In individual local communities another language and the Cyrillic or some other alphabet may be introduced into official use alongside the Croatian language and Latin alphabet, under conditions prescribed by law. (Sabor Republike Hrvatske 1990)1
