I should have said this in my previous msg, but:

As I'm sure you're aware, there are two kinds of "multiple
pronunciation": one letter -> two or more phonemes, and one phoneme ->
two or more allophones.  Native speakers are generally unaware of the
latter, but a good phonological description will talk about it.  (There
is also variation at the sub-allophonic level, or at least below what
linguists typically transcribe when they're transcribing phonetically.)

I don't have any leads on phonological descriptions of Croatian, but I'm
sure there are lots of them.  You might also search for "jers".
