Bosanski jezik?

[Ken Miyamoto]

Hello,

Recently, I've encountered the term "bosanski jezik" several times,
including a title of a small disctinary. Does it mean that the dialect
of Serbo-Croat spoken in Bosnia is now considered as a separate language?
Is it a temporary phenomenon which may disappear with the future
development of the political situation of the former Yugoslav regions? Or
are we witnessing an emergence of a new Slavic language? First of all,
does a language called Serbo-Croat still exist? Or is it splitting into
Serbian, Croat, and Bosnian? How do slavicists see the current
linguistic situation of the region?

Thank you for your observations and/or insights on this matter.

Ken
