    Yes, the hr in the internet name denotes Croatia. So it is a Croatian website... Croatia in Croatian is something like Hrvatske?

    I was going to say that there is no such language as Bosnian, it is called Bosnian-Herzegovinian and consists solely of three letter words all containing x y and a reverse N with a dip on top.

    But further research shows that there is a Bosnian language!!!

    From wikipedia

    The Bosnian language (Bosanski jezik) is one of the standard versions of the Central South Slavic diasystem, formerly known as Serbo-Croatian.

    [...]

    The name for the language is a controversial issue for neighbouring Croats and Serbs. Croats and Serbs call their languages Croatian and Serbian. The constitution of the Republika Srpska, where the language is also official, refers to the it as the "Language spoken by Bosniaks" ("Jezik kojim govore Bošnjaci"), as does the government of Serbia.

    Bosniak language is the prescribed name of the language in Serbian. Pre-eminent Croatian linguists (Radoslav Katičić, Dalibor Brozović and Tomislav Ladan) also consider that the appropriate name for the Bosnian language would be «Bosniak» rather than «Bosnian», since the appellation Bosnian refers to the whole country, therefore implying that «Bosnian» is the national standard language of all Bosnians, not only Bosniaks. Although there is no publicly formulated Croatian policy towards this question, in official Croatian publications (for instance, in Croatian Encyclopaedia issues or University manuals), the language of Bosniaks is invariably referred to as Bosniak.

    An old friend of mine told me that his native language is Yugoslavian. Is there a language called this today or has the name morphed into something else??
