Croatian is a Slavic language spoken by around 5 million people. It is the official language of Croatia.

Croatian belongs to the "synthetic" language group, which means that unlike English and other "analytical" languages, different grammatical aspects are expressed in one word by changing the structure of that word - adding an ending or prefix, modifying the core of the word, etc. In analytical languages such as English, the same is achieved by using separate auxiliary verbs, pronouns or adjectives while the actual word remains unchanged. In Croatian, one word is often sufficient to express what English can only achieve by using multiple words.

Writing time and date

In the clock time, hours and minutes are separated by a '.' instead of ':', but the latter is also widely used. Another usual way is to write the minutes raised like an exponent.

The date is always written in the order day, month, year, e.g.:

11-18-2005 is in Croatian 18.11.2005..

18th of November 2005 is in Croatian 18. studeni 2005..
