[edit]

The original article nad Deen's Facebook status says: The song is going to be sung in the language of citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is a mistake in the translation in some articles and lack of knowledge of the languages ​​in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnian mainly used by Bosniaks, this year's representatives are not only Bosniaks. Bosnia and Herzegovina's constitution does not specify any official languages. Dayton Agreement states that it is done in Bosnian, Croatian, English and Serbian, and many describe this as the de facto recognition of three official languages at the state level. The equal status of Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian was verified by the Constitutional Court in 2000. It is sometimes used universal name Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS) for language of citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. [1] [2] --Aca Srbin (talk) 14:51, 24 January 2016 (UCT)

But the thing is, as it says here and here the lyrics will be in Bosnian. These are all considered to be reliable sources by WP:Eurovision and we are told to trust what they post, as they're reliable. Both of the singers are Bosniaks, (yes Rucner is a Croat but she is not a vocalist), so it should be assumed that the song is in Bosnian unless we are told otherwise. Not to mention, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, and Montenegrin are all the same language, but as the singers are Bosniaks it would be assumed that they'd be performing in the Bosnian dialect. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 15:48, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reliable sources can be wrong sometimes, too. These sources were quoted the wrong translation. There is other reliable sources (1, 2) who says the lyrics will be in the language of citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian are equal). Most importantly, the original article and Deen's Facebook status says the same. I agree that it is the same language and that it should be assumed that the song is in Bosnian when Bosniaks represents B&H, but now one of them is not Bosniak (Rucner is listed officially) and one of them pointed out that the song is going to be sung in the language of all citizens. --Aca Srbin (talk) 00:18, 25 January 2016 (UCT)
