Going deeper into the history of the formation of the norms of standard Slovene, it emerges that in the 19th century there were two crucial constants: Slovene identity and unity. This article elaborates already known findings about the important role played by Miklošič in the standardisation of the standard language through an analysis of certain norms that did not feature on the original list of new forms. Miklošič's theoretical views are identified and the conclusion is reached that many of his decisions were based on knowledge of development tendencies.
