Srijemske Laze

Srijemske Laze (

The name of the village in Croatian or Serbian is plural.

In addition to its official form the name of the village of Srijemske Laze is also known as Sremske Laze in its Ekavian pronunciation of Shtokavian dialect of the pluricentric Serbo-Croatian. Historically, Ekavian pronunciation was common both among autochthonous Serb and Croat communities in Podunavlje while both new post-World War II Serb and Croat settlers predominantly used Ijekavian pronunciation. This however changed in local context after the Croatian War of Independence when Ekavian was associated with Serb and Ijekavian with Croat community with some exceptions.

The word "Srijemske"/"Sremske" is a possessive adjective derived from the Serbo-Croatian word for the Syrmia region itself, meaning that the literal translation of the settlement's name in English is Syrmia's Laze. The name of the village comes from the old Croatian word ''laz'', which means a part of the hillside that can be overcome on foot. ^[5]
