In this paper we describe the local speech of Sveta Marija, little town in lower and the most eastern part of Međimurje county. The speech belongs to Kajkavian idiom, dialect of Međimurje, its lower subdialect and Draškovec speech subgroup, which is a transitional subgroup between Prelog and Donja Dubrava speech group. We analyze phonological and morphological linguistic features of Sveta Marija speech. In the introductory part we focus on Kajkavian idiom and its dialects. Particular emphasis was on Međimurje dialect that is divided in three subdialects: lower, middle and upper. This is followed by a short description of past and present of Sveta Marija. Based on soundtracks of authentic speakers of Sveta Marija speech and Questionnaire for field reseach of Kajkavian speech we identified phonological (accentuation, the use of vowels and consonants) and morphological characteristics (inflected and unchanging words) of Sveta Marija speech. From the examples, provided by soundtracks and Questionnaire for field research of local speech of Sveta Marija, we confirmed that the speech of Sveta Marija belongs to Međimurje dialect, its lower subdialect and Draškovec speech subgroup. In relation to other neighbouring speeches, the speech of Sveta Marija is similar to speech of Donji Mihaljevec and different from the speeches of Donji Vidovec and Donja Dubrava.
