 Nationalism and Language (by Bozidar Jaksic)
Contrary to many European countries where language was the basis for constituting modern nations as political communities, in the part of the Balkans inhabited by intermingled Serbs, Croats and Muslim Bosniaks, membership in different religions and confessions was the basis for national division.
If language, transformed into a language of hate, served war preparations and propaganda, the unified linguistic tissue of the Serbo-Croatian or Croato-Serbian language was systematically destroyed before and during the war.
Therefore it is necessary to put it clearly: the pursuit of the purity of the national language is a relapse of the criminal policy of the so-called ethnic cleansing.

 SHTOKAVIAN DIALECT FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The štokavian dialect is spoken in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia_and_Hercegovina, and the greater part of Croatia.
However, it must be stressed that standard languages, irrespectively of their mutual differences, have been stylised in such manners that parts of the neo-Å¡tokavian dialect have been retained — for instance, declension — but other features were purposely omitted or altered — for instance, the phoneme "h" was re-instated in standard languages.
Croatian language has had the longest tradition of štokavian vernacular literacy and literature, but due to the influence of other Croatian dialects, čakavian and kajkavian, it took almost 4 and half centuries for štokavian to prevail as the dialectal basis for Croatian standard.
