ON THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PHONEMES /ļ/ AND /ń/ IN OLD CROATIAN-LATIN SCRIPT

U staroj se hrvatskoj latinici fonem /ļ/ bilježio najčešće dvoslovom gl, a fonem /ń/ dvoslovom gn. Iako je takav način obilježavanja fonema /ļ/ i /ń/ preuzet iz talijanske grafije, na njegovo je lako preuzimanje i višestoljetnu nepromijenjenost mogla utjecati i tradicija, jer su dvoslovima gl i gn za /ļ/ i /ń/ odgovarali u hrvatskoglagoljskoj književnosti grafemi ĵ1 i ĵn, tj. "đerv" + 1 i "đerv" + n. To pokazuje da je veza između različitih grafija zacijelo jača kad se modificiraju za isti jezik.In the old Croatian-Latin script the phoneme /ļ/ was usually represented by the combination gl, and the phoneme /ń/ by the combination gn. Although this representation of the phonemes /ļ/ and /ń/ was taken over from Italian graphic notation, such an easy adoption and several centuries of invariability could also have been influenced by local tradition, since the combination gl and gn for /ļ/ and /ń/ respectively, corresponded to the graphemes ĵ1 and ĵn, i.e. "đerv" + l and "đerv" + n in Croatian Glagolitic literature. This indicates that the connection between different graphic notations becomes stronger when they are modified within the same language
