You're wrong and obviously have less forum experience than I do. If someone from Croatia doesn't understand this "Februar" then fuck this world.
For any words that differ, Google is your solution. You can find anything.

where did I state we don't understand it? Cheesy
you misinterpreted
I said, I can handle Bosnian since the only difference is in naming the months
however, with Serbian there are too many differences, I find it too annoying to keep reading the language
some plain stuff is okay, but as soon as it gets more complicated all words are different and you have to google everything
India has it's own board, it's not subjected to the English
why would we be?

AFAIK in Bosnian and Croatian clubs there are often if not mostly Serbian songs. The people don't seem to have an issue with understanding each other/others language. I still don't understand your issue here. American and British English have words that are somewhat different too?
LaudaM: Even Serbs on this forum type latin Smiley
Exactly my point.

I don't know why that still exists on wikipedia

but the EU only reckognized Croatian as the official language



Wikipedia anybody can edit.
I will never use Wikipedia as official source of info.

You may call BCS but is same.Source is university

please do not, I'm tired of everyone putting us in the same basket, this only makes it worse

I can handle Croatian/Bosnian but EXYU or Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian no, there will be people writing in cyrillic and neither Croats or Bosniaks understand that lettering

besides, in Bosnia, Croats are one of the 3 nations so I don't see a problem why Bosniaks wouldn't read a thread in the official language of their country (Croatian,Bosnian,Serbian)

Also Croatian and Bosnian are 90% the same (differences in months like they use english words aka. Februar for February while we use Veljača), but Serbian language differs in almost all words in pronunciation and spelling besides the words for months etc. (all simmiliar words are different, for example we say mlijeko, they say mleko), we can understand them but I find it tiring to keep reading that language
not to mention different words like we say we say mrkva, they say šargarepa, we say željezo, they say gvožđe..

I don't mind having the same thread with Bosniaks, since I can't even notice a difference if I'm speaking to someone from Bosnia or Croatia

Also it's easy, just state that Cyrillic is not allowed, problem solved. I've never ever seen someone type Cyrillic in an EXYU 'subforum'.

its would be nice if there was a section like balkan language for those 3 or 4 countries!!

this is also wrong Cheesy

how would we understand each other with the Greeks,Bulgarians and Albanians?

Geographically, half of Croatia isn't even a part of the Balkans

They don't write Cyrillic in their current thread. And I can't see the reason why you wouldn't understand what they're saying (I'm talking about Serbs).

I see, I'm saying I can understand their latin lettering
but I find it tiring to keep reading it

if they want to, they can read the material from our thread

but as I see, India has their own board

altough their official language is English, which they also speak in the board

I don't see why our threads/boards would join together

It seems that we don't have agreement about this at the moment, so either start poll about the name of our subforum or don't change anything (Croatian or hrvatski is fine for me).
Also, I would like to suggest Parazyd as the moderator in Croatian subforum.
Others can add their opinions or we can also start pool about this suggestions, if necessary.

Yes. The languages are very, very similar. Name it simply "Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian", I dunno.

Language sections are named "[local name for language] ([English name for language])". Is Hrvatski the correct name for the language(s) in all three languages? If not, what are the three words for the languages in the three languages? Or is there some other single word that means "Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian"?

Croatian/Bosnian/Serbian would translate to Hrvatski/Bosanski/Srpski
Same translation for each language.
EXYU would be right for all the countries from Yugoslavia which speak similar languages. I've seen a few forums which have that section instead of specific for each of those countries. Maybe that could work?

Slovenian and Macedonian language differs from ours unfortunately.

The languages are very similar and we can understand each other perfectly fine.

I missed this originally. Is this true? Should I rename the board to something that combines all three languages? If so, what should it be called?
