Standard Croatian is based over West Štokavian supradialect (from specific New South (West) Štokavian or Dubrovnik Krajina dialect) and people are not aware that the standard contains 1/3 Croatian Čakavian supradialect vocabulary (from 6 different Čakavian dialects), 1/3 Croatian Kajkavian supradialect vocabulary (from 6 different Kajkavian dialects) and 1/3 Croatian West Štokavian supradialect vocabulary (from 4 different West Štokavian dialects) in it not counting common Slavic words but also counting different loanwords which were introduced through each of dialects in standard. Standardization was made on basis of 17th to 18th century (late medieval) works from different Croatian experts at that time (grammar works, dictionaries, writing system works and poetry works) which they contain all this vocabs and were majorily used for the standarisation purposes. All this so caled different languages 😉 are nothing but heavily Craoatian influenced languages by vocabulary from different Croatian speaking areas and it can be checked if you take approximately 420 thousands standard words (some estimates are 500 thousand) and check the etimology of them. For example Urdu is for me nothing but a construct from Hindi, Indonesian is construct from Malay, Tajik is from Iranian/Persian, Azerbaijani is fron Turkish and so on. For Croatian why is all this like this? Beacuse of western civilisation. Many new things were coined in the west and they had to pass through Croatian and Slovenian speaking orbit to get to other South Slav speakers of course many western coined terms were also influenced by middle eastern (oriental) terms. Serbo-Croatian term is heavily politic construct and it doesn't serve the real deal on the field becuse of things earlier written. For all this to be checked Wiki is not a good source. Everybody needs to have a field work and see the academic works of local experts that have made thorough investigation. If you all want to see how Serbian used to sound 100 to 150 years ago check the term Slavjanoserbski.

No Croatian person in this universe recognizes the existence of Serbo-Croatian language.

I have nothing against Bosniaks who say that they speak Bosnian or Bosniak, that's your business, every people has the right to its own language.

@@Neimenovan It's not true, this happened especially after the wars of the 90s. Many Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina considered themselves Croats (Bosnian Croats) and I am not just referring to the NDH period. The problem with Bosnia is that there is no original Bosnian people, but it is the mixture of various peoples who adopted the Slavic language and who found themselves living within the borders of a country that they decided to call Bosnia (from the name of the river) . While the Croats were called Croats even before arriving in this part of Europe and their country took its name from a people, not vice versa as in Bosnia. Furthermore, other minorities live in Bosnia who do not belong to any of the three peoples even if they share their religion, such as the Italians who are Catholic, the Roma who are Muslims and Orthodox, the Germans, the Albanians… And let's not forget the bosnian Jews, they are bosnians like other peoples of Bosnia.

Slavic dialects in three branches (South, West, East) are much better understandable to each other inside each branch.

On the other hand, when you have a Slovenian or Macedonian guest on Croatian TV, there is ALWAYS a translation going because they are different languages!

Koferi (suitcases), possibly a borrowing from French. Sapun (soap), both Russian and Ukrainian use the native word "myło".

Kava (coffee): this exact form exists in Ukrainian (also in Belorussian and Polish), Russian uses "kofe", a European borrowing. Pljeskavica (burger), totally unknown. Jagode (strawberries): in Russian and Ukrainian this word means "berry" in general. Grožđe (grapes): Russian has this word ("grozd'"), but for a single bunch of grapes. Paradajz (tomato), šargarepa (carrot), krompir (potato), krastavac (cucumber): no correspondence. The first one strongly resembles "paradise", but why? Gljiva (mushroom): this word exists in Ukrainian, but for a single mushroom species. Obraz (cheek): in Russian and Ukrainian it means "image", in dialects also "face". Vrat (neck): no correspondence. Is it from a root meaning "to turn"? Kosa (hair): exists, but with a different meaning: a braid of hair. Oko (eye): standard in Ukrainian, but archaic and dialectal in Russian, existing in standard Russian only as derivatives. Usta (mouth): standard in Ukrainian ("vusta"), but meaning "lips", archaic in Russian with a commonly used derivative "ustnyj" (oral). Skočni zglob (ankle), ručni zglob (wrist): totally unknown, the word "zglob" itself has a cognate "sugłob" in Ukrainian. Palac and prst: we don't make this distinction and always say "palec" in both languages. "Prst" has an archaic cognate "perst" with the same meaning and with several existing derivatives. Šaka (hand): totally unknown.

We also say "dom" for "house" but it has more of a "home" meaning. For "grey-haired" we say "sijed". "Kašika" is from Turkish. "Ploča" is related to "плоский" I believe. We often say "maslac" for butter. "Pljeskavica" again related to "плоский" - the patty is flat. For carrot we say "mrkva", while "šargarepa" is the Serbian variant. "Paradajz" - from German "Paradiesapfel" - archaic way to say tomato, it means "Paradise Apple"... in Croatian it's "rajčica" from "raj". Yes "vrat" is from "to turn". Hand is actually "ruka", but "ruka" can mean "arm" as well. "Šaka" means "fist", and it's used when you want to be specific.

Serbo-Croatian doesn't refer just to the Serbian and Croatin, it's more of a continuum that consists of several idioms, Bosnian included. All of them use Shtokavian dialect(named after the word for "what" - što) as a standard

[@MahmurdSahara]

No bro it is just all the same languages with their own little variations. I think there are more differences between standarized german from germany and austria and also switzerland, yet we just refer to our standard languages just as german.

[@avtandil]

It is its own language only in political aspect. Purely linguistically the differences between Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin are much smaller than, let's say, between Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. Or Low German and Swiss German.
