Kravatlar

Kravatlar is a term primarily used in Croatia to refer to someone from the region of Krava. This region, historically a distinct geographical and cultural area, is situated within modern-day Croatia. The inhabitants of Krava, and therefore those referred to as kravatlar, often share a unique dialect, customs, and a sense of regional identity.

The term itself is a derivative of the region's name, with the suffix indicating an inhabitant. While the specific boundaries of Krava have evolved over time, the cultural and linguistic distinctions of its people have often been noted. Historically, kravatlar might have been associated with specific traditional occupations or ways of life tied to the land and resources of their region.

In contemporary usage, the term kravatlar generally refers to anyone who identifies with or originates from the Krava region. It is a designation of origin and cultural affiliation, similar to how people from other specific regions are identified. The identity of a kravatlar is often expressed through participation in local traditions, speaking the regional dialect, and maintaining connections to the Krava area. The term is not typically used in a derogatory or judgmental manner, but rather as a descriptive label for a group of people with shared heritage.
