Settlement Peteranec belongs to the municipality od the same name in Koprivnica–križevci county. It is located in the northeast of Croatia, and first time mentioned in the Middle Ages within the parish church of St. Peter after which it was named. In the middle od the 16th century, settlement perished in Ottoman incursions and was restored at the beginning of the 17th century when the parish church was also restored. Peteranec was the central part of the Koprivnica manor unit until the middle of the 18th century (the so-called provincials) and then it was annexed to the military frontier where it become the station center of the Đurđevac regiment and also a school center for the Peteran and Sokolovec companies. Between two conscious wars it belongs to the most advanced Podravina villages with a rich library and a developed social life. Stagned after World War II. until 1993. when it again becomes the municipal center. The municipality of Peteranec, apart from the settlement of Peteranec, includes Sigetec and Komatnica. The accuracy of the data is questionable as the authors Mesarić and Menac-Mihalić states „due to a lack oof written historical confirmations it has not yet been determined neither the exact time of immigration nor the place of origin of people from Peteranec.“ (Mesarić, Menac-Mihalić, 2008.) According to Lončarić's classification of the Kajkavian dialect, the Peteran language belongs to Turopolje dialect, one of fifteen subdialect of the Kajkavian dialect. According to Ivšić's division of Kajkavian speech with regard to accentuation, the assumption is that the populatio immigrated from Posavina, so he placed the speech of the Peteran in his 3rd group, a younger Kajkavian group although he immediately warned that speech deviates from surrounding speeches. Therefore, according to the territory of the spread, the speech of the Peteranec is classified in the Turopoljskoposavski dialect. He concludes that the basic characteristic of that accentuation is that it is from the metatonic circumflex (the new Proto-Slavic long-descending accent in the central position) the force is shifted towards the beginning of the word, but it doesn't shift from the medial short syllables. (Ivšić u Lončarić, 1991.) In doing so, he argued that such an accentuation was related to the origin of the population and the fact that in speech we find the influences of coexisting speeches with a limited place of emphasis, which is certainly understandable.
