Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / A9 Bosnian, Serbian and Montenegrin 544 / 600word Croatian Montenegrinwhere gdje đenowhere nigdje niđegirl djevojka đevojkaRecently the Montenegrin alphabet introduced two additional letters: ś and ź (thereare Cyrillic versions as well) for specific consonants heard in speech there – but theyare rarely used in real life.It has been observed that Montenegrin public media have recently started to usemore Croatian forms than before.BosnianBosnian (or: Bosniak, there’s a dispute over name – there are disputes about almosteverything) uses only Latin script and Ijekavian. Two spelling differences (e.g.Njujork and imaću) are used sometimes in Bosnian, but it seems that Croatianversions occasionally prevail (New York, imat ću). Standard Bosnian sometimesfreely mixes Croatian and Serbian terms, so both tisuća and hiljada 1000 seemacceptable.Since Bosnian is a standard used by Bosniaks which are predominantly Muslim, thereare lot of oriental and Islamic terms. Sound h is always retained, even when not inCroatian (one example is lahko easy vs Croatian lako; of course, lahko exists insome dialects in Croatia too, but it’s not standard). There are some specific terms,e.g. daidža uncle (Croatian ujak).Bosnia-Herzegovina is today officially tri-lingual, as evidenced by this warning on abox of cigarettes that displays three identical sentences (the first one is just inCyrillic; I have taken a photo of an actual box):
