Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the pronunciation basis of the standard Croatian language, the position of the diphthong /ie/ in the phonological system, the relation between the phonological and morpho(no)logical principles in orthography, the joined and separated (non-joined) writing as formational and orthographical problem, and the reflection of all of the above in the principles and regulations of the Croatian orthography by the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics. It has been concluded that the hierarchization of particular orthographic forms had been performed arbitrarily and that the writing of some compounds has no confirmation in Croatian corpus.
