This paper presents the results of a recent study conducted at Saborsko, a Neoštokavian Ikavian locality. As is the case in certain local dialects in the wider neighbouring region, the type of local dialect in Saborsko is also characterised by a degree of blending of Štokavian and Čakavian dialects. In lieu of this, a comparison of three Neoštokavian Ikavian localities belonging to the Šćakavian subdialect in the area of Lika, Gorski Kotar and Kordun, which are surrounded by local dialects originating from different dialects, was deemed to be appropriate and fruitful. These are the Šćakavian local dialects of Mrkopalj and Slunj. A comparative analysis was conducted to determine similarities and differences of the three localities in the area of Lika, Gorski Kotar and Kordun, which are classified under the Šćakavian subdialect of Neoštokavian Ikavian. Through comparison and elimination, the results have shown that the local dialect of Saborsko, alongside the other two systems observed, despite being surrounded by non-Schakavian Ikavian local dialects, has preserved basic Šćakavian features, and that these three systems do not have any notable differences between them. Special attention was paid to non-Ikavian reflexes of yat, which were found in all three localities, in particular in Saborsko, as well as other features typical of Neoštokavian Ikavian systems.
