And Zagreb Kajkavian Dialect, written by the American linguist Thomas F. Magner and published in 1966, is a pioneering scientific analysis of Zagreb speech as a distinct urban dialect. This book is significant because it deals with a specific form of Kajkavian that developed in the city, distinguishing it from the surrounding rural dialects. Magner seeks to prove that the Kajkavian dialect, although considered "substandard" in comparison to the official Štokavian, is also actively spoken by educated citizens of Zagreb (the intelligentsia), and not just by "the common people". The research is based on the idiolects of eleven respondents from the circle of Zagreb's intelligentsia. It includes about 32 pages of analysis of phonology, morphology and syntax. It contains about 30 pages of characteristic words of Zagreb speech. It provides 25 pages of written original texts, including conversations and examples from local newspapers of the time. The author notes specific features such as the use of the pronoun kaj, the negated forms of the voice nemrem (instead of ne mogu), and a specific accent system that differs from the standard Croatian language.
