For example, some of the prominent features are the fixed stress-based accentual system without distinctive lengths, the merger of /č/ and /ć/ and of /dž/ and /đ/, vocabulary differences as well as a different place of stress in words.
# Наличие согласных /"č"/, /"j"/ на месте праславянских сочетаний "*tj", "*dj", как и в словенском языке: "noč" «ночь», "meja" «межа» (с возможным в некоторых районах распространения кайкавского наречия — "medža").
