This thesis deals with Turkish loanwords that are part of the active Chakavian speech on the island of Krk. Lexicological, etymological, thematic, semantic, phonological, and morphosyntactic analysis was carried out on the collected corpus. Field research was carried out by giving out a questionnaire based on age groups into four different areas of the Chakavian dialect with the aim of determining the sociolinguistic status of Turkish loanwords. A historical overview is also given to make it easier to understand the entry and retention of Turkish loanwords in Chakavian dialects that were never directly influenced by the Turkish language since they were not part of the Ottoman Empire. From the research, it can be concluded that in the Chakavian dialects of the island of Krk there are about eighty Turkish loanwords, which are mostly used by older age groups, while younger populations either know or actively use only some of them. Certain loanwords from the corpus are a frequent component of idioms that Chakavian speech abounds in.
