 Serbo-Croatian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The topic of language with the writers from Dalmatia and Dubrovnik prior to the 19th century is somewhat blurred by the fact they by and large placed more emphasis on whether they were Slavic rather than Italic, given that Dalmatian city-states were then inhabited by those two main groups.
Traditional grammars list seven cases for nouns and adjectives: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative, locative, and instrumental, reflecting the original seven cases of Proto-Slavic, and indeed older forms of Serbo-Croatian itself.
Like most Slavic languages, there are three genders for nouns: masculine, feminine, and neuter, a distinction which is still present even in the plural (unlike Russian).

 ATA South Slavic Languages Accreditation
Although many still refer to the language they speak (or grew up with, or learned in school, or translate from) as Serbo-Croatian, the Committee is approaching the issue less from a personal standpoint than from the perspective of today's working translator and interpreter and his or her clients.
While recognizing similarities among the languages and the ability of most translators to work from any of the three—Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian—committee members also acknowledge that few translators would nowadays accept an assignment into one of the three if it weren't their dominant one.
Each language will proceed at its own pace, moving to the next stage in the ATA procedure as soon as it fulfills each requirement.
