Most English-speaking language encyclopedias ( Routledge , Glottolog , Ethnologue , etc.) register the language solely as "Bosnian" language. The Library of Congress registered the language as "Bosnian" and gave it an ISO-number. The Slavic language institutes in English-speaking countries offer courses in "Bosnian" or "Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian" language, not in "Bosniak" language (e.g. Columbia, Cornell, Chicago, Washington, Kansas). The same

The Croatian state institutions, such as the Central Bureau of Statistics, use both terms: "Bosniak" language was used in the 2001 census, while the census in 2011 used the term "Bosnian" language. The majority of Serbian linguists hold that the term Bosniak language

This also came as

The Slovenian PrvaLiga was launched in late 1991, while the Croatian Prva HNL saw its first edition in 1992.

Therefore,

588-465: The "Bosniak" language ( Serbo-Croatian : bošnjački / бошњачки , [bǒʃɲaːtʃkiː] ). Bosniak linguists however insist that the only legitimate name is "Bosnian" language ( bosanski ) and that that is the name that both Croats and Serbs should use. The controversy arises because the name "Bosnian" may seem to imply that it is the language of all Bosnians, while Bosnian Croats and Serbs reject that designation for their idioms. The language

630-493: The 2002–03 season, when the country changed its name so the league was renamed First League of Serbia and Montenegro.

756-484: The IPA value, sorted according to Cyrilic: Although Bosnians are, at the level of vernacular idiom , linguistically more homogeneous than either Serbians or Croatians, unlike those nations they failed to codify a standard language in the 19th century, with at least two factors being decisive: The modern Bosnian standard took shape in the 1990s and 2000s. Lexically, Islamic-Oriental loanwords are more frequent; phonetically:
