The orthoepic norm is considered one of the weak points of the Croatian standard language. Some problematic areas are the appearance of falling accents at the non-beginning word syllables, (non)transference of falling accents to proclitics, hypercorrectness, the neutralization of short accents (falling and rising), the accent of loanwords, post-accentual length... In short research, pronuncia-tion variants of words belonging to these groups, which appear among students of the University of Split who, due to their academic education and young age, are daily exposed to the standard in various forms. It was noticed that students are closest to the system with four accents and that most different pronunciation variants have loanwords and accented doublets. The most common mistake is the appearance of falling accents on non-beginning syllables of words. In compound words, the emphasis appeared mainly on its second part, and the emphasis on the preposition was transferred most often in verb and pronoun examples. It was also noticed that students strive for an ideal standard, so they also offer several pronunciation variants, assuming only one is correct. It was also concluded that the place of residence can affect speech, but also that errors also occur in students for whom the standard language is part of the profession, such as students of Croatian studies.
