Ikavski is a dialect of the Serbo-Croatian language, primarily spoken in parts of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is characterized by the pronunciation of the vowel "e" as "i" in certain contexts, which distinguishes it from other dialects like Ekavski. This dialect is part of the broader South Slavic language group and reflects the rich linguistic diversity of the region. Ikavski speakers often use specific vocabulary and expressions that may differ from those in Ekavski or Ijekavski, making it an important aspect of local culture and identity.
