Abstract
Croatian villages of the southmost district of Bratislava are studied. Due to similar historical circumstances, these villages shape a single unit. This small territory on the cross-border of Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia was accessed to Czechoslovakia only after WWII, that preserved in good state the Croatian tradition in the 20th century in the genetically non-related Hungarian milieu. The article covers features of their folk calender, family rites, and folk mythology, common for all Burgenland's Croats (in Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia), parallel to those that can be found in Croatia proper. It also covers borrowings from neighboring languages and traditions of Austrian-Hungarian space and from Slovakia, within the borders of which the Croatian enclaves under scrutiny are located.
