Specific to Croatian

Things that are only true here

  • Croatian is one of two languages the handbook names as covered by YouTube’s own caption translation.
  • There is no kaikki/Wiktionary dictionary for Croatian, confirmed by probe. Definitions come from the online sources or not at all.
  • Croatian shares UniMorph’s `hbs` Serbo-Croatian dataset with Serbian — one 31 MB file for both, which does not distinguish the two standards’ spelling.
  • Croatian is covered by the punctuation model.
Setting up for Croatian Choose Croatian as the language you are learning in the extension popup or Settings → Languages. Packs begin downloading immediately and in the background — leave the browser open for 15 to 30 minutes and check the corner of the screen. When it goes quiet, everything is local.

Common questions

Does NoaLingua work for Croatian?

Croatian is one of the 28 languages in the learning and translation selectors, and 6 of its ten capability axes are verified. The table on this page shows exactly which ones — including the ones that are documented as absent.

Can I get grammar tables for Croatian?

Yes. 31 MB · adjectives (424,520), verbs (221,222) and nouns (150,844) Conjugation and declension tables open at the exact form you clicked.

Does Croatian work offline?

Partly. Example sentences work offline once downloaded, but there is no offline dictionary for Croatian — definitions come from the online sources or not at all.

What does “not documented” mean in the table?

That we have not verified it ourselves, so we will not claim it either way. It is not the same as “no”. Several of those columns depend on data Chrome owns and does not publish per language.
