[edit]

I don't know what are the original sources for articles about Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian languages, but I can tell you also that after my first edit in Wikipedia ever was erased the same day, it will be my last visit to Wikipedia. After your remark that the added section is generally OK but it should be placed in Bosnian language page instead of Differences between Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian language (or something like that) I went to other pages mentioning subjects about these languages. I can't get away from the impression that the whole series of articles base on the mother fact of all that those are three different languages. And further more, articles say that those languages come from the same dialect. I don't know if I'm crazy, uneducated or the terms are like that in my country, but dialects are variations of one language. That means that dialects of one language become another three languages in these articles, what is a complete nonsense. That pyramid of distinctiveness between languages and dialects is based only on differences. That means that one language must have enough distinct elements from the other one to be considered a different language or even different dialect.

All diferences you can find between Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian language are neglible - it all comes up to only synonims, and you can't say that that's different language. They all use both cyrillic and latin letters in an identical way. The grammar is completely identical and there are no valid, even malicious, sources which could brake down that fact. Furthermore, Bosnian language is recognized only by Bosnia & Herzegovina's muslim population which makes a minority in B&H (less than 50%) and Bosnian Serbs, Croats and others are strongly opposed to that name which puts them in the same bowl.

I'm afraid that these articles will come up to plain Bosnia & Herzegovina muslims propaganda and that it will stay that way and that would make this encyclopedia only a worthless peace of Internet. I personally think that I myself have greater influence on people not familiar with these matters regarding these "languages" and I will tell to anyone who asks for my opinion that this part of encyclopedia is worthless fabrication of facts. And you know what happens when you pour one drop of vinegar into a bucket of vine - it all turns into vinegar.

So, to conclude this, I will never again believe anything that is written in Wikipedia and I will tell everyone I know to do like that also. I'm not in the mood to change any of the articles because I see what is going on here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jovke (talkcontribs) 6 December 2005 (UTC)
