Thank you I am fed up with individuals who have no idea and want to turn black into white and vice versa.

[edit] Template:Slavic languages
Why do you keep adding Croatian and Serbian under Serbo-Croatian? The Serbo-Croatian language is a separate language that was created in 1850 from Croatian and Serbian languages which have been spoken for a thousand years before the Vienna Agreement. Both of these languages are recognized internationally, they are official languages of more than one country, they have their respective standards regulated by institutions and a history of literature. By denying the differences between them and negating their status you are offending millions of people. They do belong to the same diasystem, but that doesn't make them any less of a language. I understand that there is a problem in sorting the various languages and dialects in the territory of former Yugoslavia, but you need to have uniform criteria for all languages. Please, be objective! Mrcina —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.10.62.69 (talk) 22:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- No, Serbo-Croatian is not a separate language. As a literary language, it was a phase in the history of the Serbian and Croatian (and other Central South Slavic) languages, during which they had a common standard and a common name. That is, it was not created in the 19th century out of Croatian and Serbian, but it was Croatian and Serbian of that time. Also, "Serbo-Croatian" is a unitary name, an umbrella term for the languages of the Central South Slavic diasystem, and that's why they are sorted like that in the template. If you prefer, instead of "Serbo-Croatian" you could also put "Central South Slavic", but it is necessary to keep them together in order not to create usual nationalist edit wars from either side. (Serbian users, for example, would not have accepted Montenegrin listed as a separate language, while Croatian users might not accept Bunjevac or Šokac as separate languages. That's why we came up with this solution in the first place.) --George D. Božović (talk) 15:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

- Thank you very much for your answer. The current template is rather confusing to me. Can we please have Central South Slavic diasystem as a subgroup of South Slavic languages like in this template Template:Southslavlang? Or maybe just replace "Serbo-Croatian" with "Central South Slavic" like you suggested? Both are fine with me and, I think, would better suit Bosniaks, Montenegrin, Bunjevac and Šokac as they do not consider themselves (or their language) whether Croatian nor Serbian.

- Sure, I have already replaced it with "Central South Slavic," which is probably a more neutral name for this diasystem than "Serbo-Croatian." --George D. Božović (talk) 15:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

How skilled at IPA are you George? --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 23:08, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scripts
I've done some thorough researching of the history of linguistics, and it seems that I now know less than I knew before.
So, Glagolitic was originally known as "Curillic" and the Cyrillic scrip was simply known as "the Serb script" until the 16th century? --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 21:32, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

- This is English wiki. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 17:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- Of course, I know all that. I was just shocked after I read that I read that in the "History of the Serb people" (that "Cyrillic" is used for Cyrillic for the first time in the 16th century). --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 18:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Southslavlang
Hi Đorđe. With your latest edit you merged the Central South Slavic diasystem (Srpskohrvatski) with Western South Slavic (Slovenian). Is there any reason for that? Regards, BalkanFever 04:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, there is. Western South Slavic group actually consists of both Slovene and Serbo-Croatian languages (also referred to as Central South Slavic, which is a term coined by Croatian linguist Dalibor Brozović as I recall), not only Slovene. --George D. Božović (talk) 21:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Also, I put Torlakian under Western South Slavic dialects because it is a Western South Slavic dialect, as explained by Serbian dialectologist Pavle Ivić. :) --George D. Božović (talk) 21:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pozdrav
Hej Djordje, pogledaj molim te ovu glupost: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Balkans
Cesku stavili na Balkanu, kakav idiotizam:-)). Nije tesko pogoditi ko je to mogao uraditi, a to je niko drugi nego poznati ustaski debili, koji ne zele shvatiti da je 'njihova lijepa' tipicna Balkanska provincija. Zbog takvih kao njih ce i ostati na Balkanu jos dugo, dugo, ha, ha. Oh, by the way, isti mentalci su i opet otklonili hrvatsku zastavu sa lista Balkanskih zemalja. Mozes li staviti stvari u redu na clanku o Balkanu i na linku koji sam ti dao? Puno pozdrava. 24.86.127.209 (talk) 05:35, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Teslina rasprava
Brate dragi šta si ti tereta iznio u raspravi o Teslinoj nacionalnoj pripadnosti!! Sa ovim g.... zapadnjacima od kojih neki ne znaju šta je to nacionalnost. Ili imaju više značenja za to, pa koriste kako im je zgodnije. Pozdrav!

Considering you're a linguist, you might be interested in the very intriguing ongoing discussion over there.
