Serbo-Croatian

Serbo-Croatian is a South Slavic language historically spoken in parts of the Balkans, including Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia. It comprises mutually intelligible dialects, such as Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin, each with its own standard written form and cultural variations. The language has a common grammar and vocabulary, but political and cultural factors have led to distinctions and standardized variants. Today, these dialects are often recognized as separate languages, reflecting national identities, though they share a linguistic foundation rooted in the South Slavic linguistic family.
