Existing ethnicities:

Croats from Bátya came to that area in 16th century from Croatian northeastern region of Slavonia. They speak the Štokavian dialect of Croatian, a Slavonian subdialect (Old-Shtokavian with non-reflected yat pronunciation). Similar dialectal features are seen today among population of Gradište near Županja and around Našice.

These Croats belong to special group of Danubian Croats: they call themselves as Raci. In literature they are also called racki Hrvati.{{cite web |url= http://www.podravina.net/pdf/VulicOgovorima.pdf |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220408120516/http://www.podravina.net/pdf/VulicOgovorima.pdf |url-status= dead |archive-date= April 8, 2022 |title= Podravina.net |language=hu}} {{small|(182 KB)}} Sanja Vulić: O govorima Hrvata u Mađarskoj
