There is no need to put Bosnian in cyrillic. It is an extinct cyrillic scrpit.
From the article Bosnian Cyrillic:
"Bosnian Cyrillic is an extinct Cyrillic script,that had mainly been used in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, Dalmatia and Dubrovnik in particular. Its name in Croatian and Bosnian is bosančica and bosanica (Croats also call it Croatian script, Croatian-Bosnian script or Western Cyrillic). Serbs use the designation Bosnian Cyrillic- in order to stress its affiliation with greater Cyrillic cultural areal."
I think that the people who do not know cyrillic are not repressented by it. I, for instance, do not know any cyrillic, but do speak Bosnian. If you go to the Bosnian Wikipedia. In its policy it states that ONLY the latin script will be used.
HolyRomanEmperor, I respect your views, but putting Bosnian in cyrillic is incorrect. If you are going to say that Serbs use it, than it is (by even them) considered the Serbian language, since they consider themselves Serbian.
(You say that you speak Srpsko-hrvatski, people can argue that it is an extincet language. My point for this view is that Srpsko-hrvatski does use both, however, the Bosnian language does not use it as its standard)
I do not want this to go into a huge debate and I do not want this to head into the deletion template page.
My points are that Wikipedia Bosanski [[1]] uses only the latin script, that Bosnian Cyrillic is extinct, and that most Bosnians do not use the cyrillic scrpit. You probably know this: About 50% are Bosniaks, 17 % Croats, and 35% Serbs. There is a huge majority (almost 75%, including Bosniaks, Croats, and others of Bosnia and Herzegovina) that do not use the cyrillic script.
