Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian

[Robert Orr]

SERBIAN and CROATIAN
I'm not a specialist in this particular area, but my own feeling is that
dialectal differences WITHIN "Serbian" and WITHIN "Croatian" are much more
interesting than differences BETWEEN "Serbian" and "Croatian".   Besides,
common languages were no bar to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the
American War of Independence, the Thirty Years War, etc., etc.  Perhaps we
won't get a "true" picture in our own lifetimes.  But I digress ...
