标题：On Kranjska people and “Slovenians” or Slavonians (Slovinians) in Križevci County and Varaždin generalate from the end of the 16th century till the beginning of the 18th century
摘要：In the course of 17th century people from different parts immigrated to Križevci County and Varaždin Generalate thus largely contributing to the starting of new settlements and the growth of population. Among those coming from the west, Kranjska people are essential. They generated from Slovenian nation and dispersed through Križevci and Varaždin areas. The very surname Kranjec suggests it was people who, from some unknown reason tried to hide their origin and identity. It is yet to be answered if among them there were also descendants of formerly expatriated population who returned to the homeland of their ancestors. In Varaždin Generalate a lot of old settlers spoke kaykavian dialect and were referred to as ‘Slovenians’ (Slavonians, Slovinians) in old documents. One can argue whether the term ‘Slovenians’ (Slavonians) in Varaždin and Križevci of 17th century could be extended to those newcomers who fled before the Ottoman invaders from occupied parts of the then Križevci County. Those ‘Slovenians’ ( Slavonians) would in that case be the remaining mediaeval population who spoke kaykavian.
