U radu će se prikazati karte s punktovima hrvatskoga jezika u kojima je proveden progresivni pomak starih praslavenskih cirkumfleksa. Na kartama su integrirani dosad razmjerno nepovezani podatci iz literature s građom iz novijih terenskih istraživanja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako je progresivni pomak starih praslavenskih cirkumfleksa jedna od bitnih karakteristika zapada hrvatskoga jezika.About forty Croatian local dialects have the progressive shift of the Slavic old circumflexes from that we can conclude that it is an essential characteristic of the nonimmigrant Western Croatian local dialects. New researches – for HJA, and for other purposes – and new collected (researched) material, point to the necessity of transforming and upgrading some older thesis. The progressive shift of the Slavic old circumflex is considered to be a phenomenon that split the Southwest Slavic area in two. In literature we can often find that the »Slovenian language« is separated by this from the rest of the Southwest Slavic area. This phenomenon characterizes Western Croatian local dialects, as we have shown, so we believe that it is necessary to show that fact, or, even better, not to use the names of national languages in naming the protounits of that kind. In that way, whether the local dialects with a progressive shift circumflex really belong Croatian language, as well as do Slovenian local dialects without that shift belong to Slovene language, would be out of the question
