Are you referring to the part of Rijeka, Susak, formerly the Croatian enclave and port workers' quarter under the Italian and Hungarian domination in Rijeka, where a well-identified
Croatian dialect was spoken but never standardized into a literary codification, or are you speaking of the island "Susak"?

If the former, I have no real references for you, but all Croatian dialectological works may comfort.

If the latter, from the catalog of the National and University library, Zagreb

refers.

It is an insular dialect of Croatian, with the normal overlay of Italianisms that all of the Dalmatian coast presents, particularly the islands, and particularly the underdeveloped
islands of which Susak is a prime example.  It is generally thought that the mental hygiene of the core population has been adversely affected by endogamy.
