Peinlicher noch ist, dass die Albaner oder Bosnier nichtmal die ersten sind, welche die Illyrer für sich beanspruchen. Die Kroaten waren die ersten
The
Illyrian movement (
Croatian:
Ilirski pokret,
Slovene:
Ilirsko gibanje) was a pan-
South-Slavist cultural and political campaign with roots in the
early modern period, and revived by a group of young
Croatian intellectuals during the first half of the 19th century, around the years of 1835–1863 (there is some disagreement regarding the official dates from 1835 to 1870).
[1] This movement aimed to create a Croatian national establishment in
Austria-Hungary through linguistic and ethnic unity, and through it lay the foundation for cultural and linguistic unification of all
South Slavs under the revived umbrella term
Illyrian.
Aspects of the movement pertaining to the development of Croatian culture are considered in Croatian historiography to be part of the
Croatian national revival (
Hrvatski narodni preporod).
