	Croatian linguistic purism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Croatian tradition of neologisms and linguistic purism goes back to the earliest documents of literacy (11th to 12th century), but it was in the Renaissance Croatian literature that this characteristic has become dominant.
		This tradition of Croatian neologisms continued uninterruptedly in next centuries and is recorded in numerous Croatian dictionaries until the Illyrian movement in the 19th century when it reached the peak in works of one of the most prominent Croatian philologists, Bogoslav Šulek (born and raised in Slovakia).
		Ironically, a non-negligible part of Slavic neologisms in this language was adopted from Croatian, for instance "računovodstvo" (bank accountancy) or "vodovod" (waterworks).

	Bosnian language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Bosnian language is one of the standard written versions of the Serbo-Croatian language, used primarily in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
		The irony of Bosnian language is that its speakers, Bosnian Muslims or Bosniaks, are, on the level of colloquial idiom, more linguistically homogenous than either Serbs or Croats, but have failed, due to historical reasons, to standardize their language in the crucial 19th century.
		After the collapse of Yugoslavia Bosniaks remained the sole inheritors of the Serbo-Croatian hybrid in Bosnian variant and are trying to reshape it, under the new name of Bosnian language, into a distinct national/ethnic standard language.

	Croat and Bosnian neologisms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The creation and dissolution of the common Serbo-Croat language saw the rise of "newspeak" (novogovor) or neologisms in the former Yugoslavia.
		From the 1960’s, due in large part to Brozovic, coining new words was used to disassociate the Croat Shtokavian speakiers from their Serb neighbours and the Serbian language in general.
		During the 1990s, it was time for the Bosnian Muslims linguists to follow suit by also coining new words with Islamic loanwords from Turkish, Arabic and Persian.

		Moreover, Bosnian language is not only a «successor language» (along with Croatian and Serbian) to the old Serbo-Croatian, but also the true heir of the entire corpus of literary and linguistic works written on the Bosnia and Herzegovina soil which (although tangentially in most cases) mention the name «Bosnian language».
		Bosnian Muslims’ contemporary efforts to give a historical “legitimacy” to the name of their national language are exercise in futility since the term “Bosnian language” was almost exclusively used by Croatian writers and lexicographers in 17th and 18th centuries (both in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) to designate a dialectal variant of Croatian language.
		Bosnian Croats and Serbs have definitely crystallized into modern nations during the 19th century, simultaneously retaining their regional Bosnian and Herzegovinian identities rooted in history and conjoining with their compatriots in Croatia and Serbia.
