When we speak of prva hrvatska gramatika , we are not referring to a single, universally accepted title, but rather to a landmark work that laid the foundation for the standardization of the Croatian language. The consensus among linguists and historians is that the first true Croatian grammar is (Grammar of the Croatian Language) by Bartol Kašić , published in 1604 in Rome.

To understand Kašić's grammar, one must understand the geopolitical and religious landscape of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The Ottoman Empire had conquered much of the Balkans, while the remaining Christian territories fell under the jurisdiction of the Habsburg Monarchy or the Republic of Venice.
