This paper is a comparison of Aladar Ehrenhöfer and Rokus Vidovics’ grammar book called Horvat Nyelvtan (Budapest, 1897) with the grammar books mentioned by the authors in the preface which they used as references while writing their grammar book. Since we find the grammar books by the Zagreb Philological School among the linguistic references, the aim of this paper is to try to answer the question of which linguistic features in Horvat Nyelvtan follow the Croatian linguistic standard within Trojednica at the end of the 19th century.
