Kajkavian (Croatian: Kajkavski) is one of three vernaculars of Croatian language, spoken in Northern Croatia, including capital of Zagreb. It was named after "kaj" pronoun which means "what". First texts and mentioning of Kajkavian vernacular originate in 12th century, though first published work date back to 16th century. Kajkavian has been used as literature language. Most of Croatian grammar written before the standardization is written in Kajkavian language and it was considered "Croatian language" in foreign circles as Northern part of Croatia was called "Kingdom of Croatia".
