Croatian standard language and its development through history depend very much on the political authorities of the time. With the establishment of the Republic of Croatia, Croatian became the official language and as such it started to be used in the entire country, even though local people of different areas used their dialects in everyday communication. Chakavian, Kajkavian and Shtokavian are three official dialects and in each one of them we can differentiate even more local speeches typical for smaller linguistic communities of an area in Croatia. The city of Šibenik and its urban lifestyle/urbanization make the center of the Šibenik-Knin county. Šibenik’s rich history has remained preserved both in its tangible and intangible heritage. As such, it contributes a lot to what the city can offer and it makes it a more appealing touristic destination. The dialect of Šibenik was once Chakavian but for centuries now, the role belongs to Shtokavian and Šibenik can be described as a Neo-Shtokavian Ikavian city of Shtokavian physiognomy. The dialect of Šibenik can be subject to phonological and morphological analyses but the importance of its rich lexicon is always emphasized. Therefore, the research is dedicated to the lexicon, or to be more precise, to finding out how well preschool children of Šibenik are familiar with this lexicon.
