Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the greatest problems of Croatian orthography and orthoepy – the problem of the writing of č and ć, the reflex of jat (ije and je) and the problem of Croatian standard accentuation. The situation in Croatian is compared to similar situations in other standard languages of the world. Some suggestions for the reforming of Croatian standard are criticized as well, mainly those of Ivo Škarić.
