His father, Adolf Klotz, changed the family name to Klaić.

From 1950. he is a professor of Croatian language at the Academy for Theater and Film Arts. As a member of the State Committee for Language in NDH, Klaić has, in collaboration with other members, arranged an orthographical handbook ''Koriensko pisanje'' ('Root-based writing'; 1942), and with Franjo Cipra also a voluminous ''Hrvatski pravopis'' ('Croatian orthography'; 1944, reprint in 1992), both based on the morphological-etymological principles in accordance with the official language policy. He became famous for his ''Rječnik stranih riječi'' ('The dictionary of foreign words'), which was printed in several editions in the period 1951-2001. He translated from foreign languages (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Virgil etc.). As a versed accentologist, he published papers on Croatian prosody, leaving an orthoepical dictionary in MS. He commented and provided critical editions of various Croatian writers (e.g. in the edition ''Pet stoljeća hrvatske književnosti'', 'The five centuries of Croatian literature') and linguistically adapted many theater and film performances. He practised diction with actors for the shows and was a main interpreter for unknown words. He studied Polish-Croatian cultural ties and wrote on them. Beside linguistics, he also studied literary theory (''Između jezikoslovlja i nauke o književnosti'', 'Between linguistics and the literary theory'; 1972). In Croatian studies as well as in Croatian culture in general, Bratoljub Klaić left a permanent written and oral mark as a versed lexicographer and orthographical normativist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bratoljub Klaić」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
