According to the dialectological literature, the local dialect of the city of Split belongs to the Chakavian dialect, its South Chakavian group of dialects, although researchers have so far noted in it a certain number of Shtokavian features. What we have here is basically a Chakavian dialect but with several Shtokavian characteristics, on account of many and varied factors that have left extensive traces on the language. This is why it is a challenge to describe the local dialect of Split today, since this dialect has many layers. The aim of this article is to present an analysis of the phonological and morphological features in the speech of the older inhabitants of Split, i.e., the generation whose families have lived in Split for a long time. The features under investigation are placed in context and compared with the characteristics of other local dialects in the neighbouring South Chakavian area
