The ground of this master's thesis is the graphic, orthographic and linguistic analysis of the text štenje with the title Poçimgne ʃctenye xivota Sfetoga Antona od Padve Ispovidnika Iʃukarstova. The aforementioned štenje is kept in the Archbishop's Archive in Split, and it's part of the collection of so-called Štenja svetaca. It dates back to the 18th century (almost at the very end of the century) and in addition to being an exceptional cultural, historical and theological source, it also brings information about the language state of the mentioned period in time. Since it is a manuscript booklet from Split, and it is a place that bears witness to the rich Chakavian language, the aim of the work was to determine to what extent the language in which the booklet was written actually corresponds to the Chakavian language system, i.e. how much of the Chakavian system has been preserved in the written word of that period. The analysis at the graphic, orthographic and linguistic level (phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexical) did not cover all of the language alterations, but only the basic ones, with the help of which it was proved that the mentioned text has a Chakavian (older) base, but it suffers from the influences of the newer Shtokavian layer. This influence was expected to a certain extent, given that the Chakavian dialect (or Chakavian literary language) in the town Split already began to retreat in the 17th century.
