Serbian vs Bosnian vs Croatian (Same or Different?) 

We understand your situation. Nice to see you after a long time :D

We understand and appreciate you, Bahador. 🙏

You have our full support and the bravery of Iranians against tyranny is truly commendable! Much love from Ireland 🇮🇪

Thank you for another nice video, Bahador. I enjoyed this one very much. I hope the people near and dear to you are safe. It's inspiring to see how younger people from the Balkans are able to see beyond bad things from the last century. That can take a lot of effort because of all the political brainwashing that goes on all over the world. Keep well and I will look forward to your next video.

Damet garm 👐👐

Yea and when they're outside of the Balkans it's not uncommon to hear Croats, Serbs and Bosnians reffer to each other as "their people" since we understand each other easily. You can also hear ex-yu people say "pričaj na našem" to each other which means "speak in our (language)"

What’s the trouble with speaking the same language if this is the case (as it seems) ? Mr Sinatra beautifully sang songs in English but he wasn’t an Englishman.

@@antoni-olafsabater9729 not an issue but they claim they speak a different language which is obviously a lie.

Hipocrisia

@@saralampret9694 Its more complicated than that, because of our complicated past. On paper its differant, in reality is more of an dialect. Languages will probably became more and more distinct. Because govermants are differant and will push their rules onto a language. And i would say if u ever go to balkan, pls dont say that its the same language openly, for ur safety.

You mean the same as the Scandinavian people

​​​​@@kiutre74 unlike Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, all these languages have less differences than standard registers of English. Linguists often consider the line between dialects and languages to be somewhat arbitrary, but even they group all of them together under the banner of "Serbo-Croatian." As you can see from the video, very little hinders mutual intelligibility between these, even with minimal exposure to the other varieties. The Scandinavian languages have mutual intelligibility characteristic of a dialect continuum, while Serbo-Croatian is quite literally separating one language with armies and navies

Croats use the Latin Alphabet, Serbs use the Cyrillic Alphabet & Bosnian muslims (Bosniak muslims) use the Arabic script in their religious services. "Should be one country." They tried it with socialist Yugoslavia with resulted in a tragic meltdown.

@@northernstar4811 well, you just reenforced my point: divided by politics and religion. One people one country.

@@gergelyzoltan8422 There are some similarities for sure. I read a Western European genetics scientific study at university many years ago it said the Slovenes & Croats were 60% Slavic, the Serbs were 30% Slavic. In comparison the Russians were 55 % Slavic.

@@northernstar4811 All Catholics who wrote in (a dialect of) Serbian before the 19th century were either members of the nobility (more often than not with roots outside modern day Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Serbia) or members of the clergy or noble clergymen. There was a Croat national revival in the late 19th Century and at that time a dozens of Catholic authors wrote in (various dialects, or more precisely accents of) Serbian with nationalistic motifs as their work was funded and promotes by Austro-Hungary for purely political ends. Let me clarify an important point; I DO NOT consider the Serbs and Croats to be the same people! I argue that tribes distinct of the Serbian ethos did in fact populate the Western Balkans before the arrival of the Serbs from modern day Bohemia, Moravia and Southern Poland. The Serbs are relative newcomers to the Balkans but due to their sheer numbers and that they spoke a coherent singular language (unlike the existing non-Albanian and non-Bulgar and non-Wallachian tribes who had at least half a dozen languages which is probably why the process of assimilation into the dominant Serbian cultural sphere was inevitable. I argue that the majority of non-Serbs did evolve a separate National identity and that Catholicism and the mixing with Latins, Hungarians and Czechs/Slovaks was a manifestation of an assertion of independence from autocratic Serbian domination. However, when it comes to language the so called 'Croat' language is in fact totally and completely a group of several Serbian regional accents that were to a large degree standardised during the romantic period that yearned to create a common people despite the religious and cultural differences. The bottom line is that if you had asked the Italian German, Czech, Hungarian and Slovak nobles and clergymen from before the 19th century who the Croats now adopt and claim as their national writers if they indeed considered themselves as Croats they would laugh hysterically and direct you to the nearest mental institution/asylum.

@@taboulefattouch4744 Actually there was no Serbia before the 19th century as it was part of the Ottoman Turkish " Eyalet of Rumelia" for many centuries. In the 19th century "Servia" came into existence as per all the international European maps of the time. The "Servian language" was spoken in "Servia". This "Servian" language had about 9,000 Turkish words in it. After the 19th century language reforms brought in from outside of "Servia" the name of the country was changed to "Serbia".

❤️

Me too. 😁

I am a Persian speaker and I learned Russian, now all Slavic languages I know a bit

actually you´re wrong on that. It´s not "ultranationalists"... since Croats and bosnian muslims a.k.a bosniaks took over all the language reforms that originated in Serbia until the 20th century, it´s only natural that they say it´s practically the same language. If some Croats ( but certainly not "most" ) clame the opposite, it´s them who are saying it out of nationalist motifs and you might want to call them Ultranationalists... I´m sorry but that´s definitely not "the thing"....

Well DNA is noticeably different enough for the those companies to be able to situate you in the right country 90% of the time.. I could equally say that all are Croatians, but without and valid proof my statement is drivel.. I think you are confused between the definition of Slavs and Serbs... they are not the same thing..

You are so brainwashed. Stop being fake and learn the actual history, your statement is retarded

And she was sexy too, the others were as interesting as cold wet fish.

I believe so. Also like the difference between English from England, Australian English, Scottish English, Canadian English and Southern American English! The difference is accent, pronunciation, and slang terms used in one country versus another. In Canada 'Roots' is a name brand store selling sports wear like track pants and t-shirts. When the Olympics were held here, the Australians went nuts and Roots sold out of so much merchandise because 'roots' is a slang term in Australia for sex. 😆

Yes, as a Bosnian I didn’t even know the Bosnian words that the Croatian/Serbs didn’t know.. Milica explains it correctly, it’s lit tally exactly like American English/British English, everything is understandable except maybe it spelt “favorite” / “favourite” , like “mjesto” “mesto” which means place

@@maxximum5980 Same...I didn't know them either. Then again, I wasn't born or raised "in the old country". Also, a while back, I was watching a Serbian sitcom on RU-vid to see how much I wouldn't understand. I was shocked that I use more Serbian than they do in the series. They use a TON of English words - like Serbglish.

bosnian, serbian, croatian, are more similar than british, American, Canadian, Australian.

@@balkanscorpio5378 I grew up in the US and I can't understand when Australians talk

Bosnian and montengrin are political languages, croatian and serbian are not

But that's not true. Similarity doesn't change the fact croatian and serbian are two seperate languages. Swedes, Norwegians and Danes also understand each other perfectly and yet they speak 3 different languages. Croatian and serbian are 2 historical languages with different history, continuity and development

​@@meduzsazsa8490 Dear, that is totally wrong comparation. It is one language, and only political thing is to call them differently. Not so long ago in schools we learned ONE language (Serbo-Croatian, Croato-Serbian) how ever you want to call it. There are not differences in between! That is the fact - one language. But if you want to go political, you can call them as ever you like, and invent more, expand the list Montenegrian, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian.. So that means by birth I speak 4 languages fluently and instantly! (: Amazing!

@@TheAndjelika no, by birth you only speak one language, if you are from Croatia you speak croatian, if you are from Serbia you speak serbian. But when you get older, you start knowing people from other country, watching their youtubers, listening to their song and you unconsciously start knowing the words of the other language. When I was a child I surely didn't know what pasulj and šargarepa are. After watching one video of serbiangamesBL I found out šargarepa is mrkva. 2 years ago I was following serbian national selection for Eurovison, when I found their channel and saw the name "PZE ZVANIČNI KANAL" that was the first time I heard that word, but I knew what it meant because it makes sense that it's "official channel" or "službeni kanal" . You are giving me the proof that it's one language by saying not so long ago we learned one language serbo-croatian in schools. But did you know that not so long ago before Yugoslavia, croatian children were learning croatian in school and serbian children were learning serbian in school??? Term serbo-croatian is a communist term used to unite us all into one nation. You say terms croatian and serbian are political, but it's actually the other way around . Term serbo-croatian was political because we lived in the same country and we had to speak the same language. Not so long ago before Yugoslavia Croats spoke croatian and Serbs spoke serbian. There are so many old croatian poems and texts which say the word CROATIAN language, there's no serbo-croatian. That was not even a true language, it was an artificial mix we all were forced to call. It seems that you think history has only 20th and 21st century, like there's no 16,17,18,19th century, but there is. You act like you only know the history from the previous century, Yugoslavia is the only thing you know, but there is a 1200 years of long history of Croats and Serbs before Yugoslavia. Croats and Serbs always had their 2 own languages, just like Swedes and Danes, just like Spaniards and Portugueses, there were ALWAYS croatian and serbian. Before we all spoke one slavic language, but since many new slavic nations were formed, languages started to develop, each nation developed their own language. Just like Russians have russian, Czechs have czechian, Poles have polish, Croats have croatian and Serbs have serbian. It's not that hard to understand. Only in 19th century the two sides decided to become closer to understand each other better, but because of 150 years of our closeness , we should not forget other 1300 years of distance. Croatian had its own dialects, history, culture, literature, continuity and development seperate from serbian and vice versa. And that's what LANGUAGE is, not similarity, but history, literature and continuity. Just imagine what would have happened if Ljubljana was the capital of Yugoslavia??? In that case croatian and slovenian would be 95% similar today, and people would say :"there's no croatian or slovenian, it's one language called croato-slovenian" Our children would from their early age know what words paradižnik, uradno, prihajati, zemi, moka are and they wouldn't know what pasulj, zvanično, azbuka and šargarepa are. Do you now see what I'm trying to say? There could have been millions of alternative history patterns, in one there would be language called hispano-portuguese, in other there would be swedo-norwegian, in other there would be serbo-bulgarian. But this is how things happened, out of all languages of the world, croatian and serbian became closer and that's how it is. But 46 years of serbo-croatian or 100 years of our closeness can't delete THE THOUSAND YEARS OF OUR SEPERATE HISTORY. Remember that

This very bullying and delusional rhetoric is one of the reasons why Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore. You took it to another, more bizarre level, by adding a bonus track to "everybody are Serbs / speak Serbian language" - broken record. I just can't believe that you even claim that Slovenian, which is absolutely without any discussion whatsoever a quite different language with more West Slavic base - is "also one of Serbian dialects". What's Macedonian, then? "Serbified Bulgarian"? Some of you people are simply hopeless case.

@DamjanKZ Girl from Sarajevo did not speak Sarajevan sleng. She spoke typical standarized language with standardized accent.

You should know that Serbs, Croats, Bosnians and some other Balkan nations are genetically closely related to Swedish people through first humans that immigrated to Europe around 30 thousand years ago. Most Balkan nations are not Slavs or Indo-Europeans despite they speak Slavic languages.

The Turkish loanwords started to be used after the war. There has never been a Bosnian language it was serbo-croatian. It's like the Bosniak people their historians claim they are all from the bogomils but bogomils were NOT a people but a Christian Gnostic church made in macedonia by a priest called bogomil. So if a Macedonian becomes a Muslim is he a bosnjak or Macedonian muslim?

@@aramisone7198 Man in your example would be a Macedonian Muslim. I could ask you the same about people in Bosnia who all were referred to as "Bosnjani" until the late 1800s if they are Catholic or Orthodox why are they suddenly referred to as Croat or Serb? And only people who know nothing about Bosnian history claim some connection to Bogumilism in Bosnia. It is true that a lot of them came to Bosnia after they were expelled from Bulgaria and Serbia but Bosnia had its own church that had nothing to do with it. Also, it's absolutely not true that Turkish lone words were not used before the war. They were and still are. In fact, they are even more used in Serbia than in Bosnia even today. Why do you think the Serbian woman understood the whole text from that song? The whole "Serbo-Croatian" language is based on the spoken dialect of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina with parts of Dalmacija and Montenegro. Bosnians understand each other from the furthest north of Bosnia to the absolute south of Hercegovina while a Zagorac can't understand almost anything that a Dalmatian says if they use their own dialects and the same goes for old Serbian regional dialects before they got standardized under what you speak today which is a Bosnian dialect.

While I agree it's all a variation of Serbian, they're 'officially' recognized as different languages. 🤷‍♀️

To summarize, standard (shtokavian) language in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and Montenegro is a one polycentric language. It has several dialects and sub-dialects where some words can be distinguished, but the differences in words are much smaller than, for example, in British English and American English, where you also have some words and even grammatical forms that differ (lift - elevator, taxi - cab, jumper - pullover - sweater). But in Croatia there are two dialects, Chakavian and Kajkavian, which differ from the standard Stokavian. In Serbian, there is Prizren-Timoc or the so-called Torlakian dialect, which is slightly different from the standard language, but it is also Stokavian, unlike these two dialects of Croatian, which are not Stokavian. It would be interesting to compare standard Stokavian with Chakavian, Kajkavian and Torlakian, but also these three dialects with each other.

I’m asking out of curiosity, is/how similar is Bulgarian to these languages?

@@sarasara7340 They are similar enough to maintain a conversation, some of the vocabulary and grammar is quite different but even then you can still make out the context in a sentence most of the time. From my experience Macedonian speakers seem to find it even easier to talk with Serbo-Croat speakers.

Funnily enough, I find Bulgarian easier to understand than Macedonian. Written, Macedonian is probably easier. The reason is, I find the cadence, rythm and the 'stress' added to specific syllables of Bulgarian similar to that of Serbian where Macedonians stress different syllables and their candence and rythm is a bit different. I can make out Macedonian easier when it's written unless I'm attuned to the language.

Ofcourse romanians and serbs are brothers by blood and culture.

There's a lot of borrowings from latin languages. In Croatian "kompa" (coming from "compagnon" or "compañero") is used to reffer to a friend, while in Serbian "ćao" from Italian "ciao" and "pardon" from French "pardon" are used quite frequently, especially in Belgrade. The English borrowings are a bit more chaotic and depend on the person's knowledge of English.

With different religions

writing system is based on the same vocal sounds that the letters made. I wouldn't call that a difference. Serbs use Latin letters all the time , cyrillic is an older variant.

@@needforspeedgaming7148 I can't remember what it's called but the language (because I agree it's really just one language) is "write as you speak and speak as it is written". It's the only language I know of where you pronounce every letter written and you write every letter pronounced. It's the only part of the written language that is easy. The grammar is a whole other monster!

@@needforspeedgaming7148 Cyrillic and Latin scripts are both equally treated as our language's official scripts by the constitution. Personally I use Cyrillic more often, so speak in your own name 🤣

​@@tamarakukic1.4 The point is that the newer generations are using Latin writing system considerably more than Cyrillic, due to the constant influence of western powers on modernisation of Serbia , and due to it's close proximity to other Latin writing countries.

Hahahaha Tako je , svi mi smo polu-idioti :D pizdrav iz Sofije , zemljace !

I'm from Zagreb, and never heard "gilje", but in the old days in local slang "giljati" means "to run away" 🏃‍♂🏃‍♂

@@biserkasertic1208 Interesting... I also heard gibati for walking.

Gilje is tipical new slang Belgrade word and have nothing in connection with old and standard serbain words for shoes, cipele , čizme, obuća i generally are serbian real words for shoes booties ...

I might also have guessed that gilje derived from giymek (to wear) or giysi (clothes) but I have my doubts because people say it’s something new so it may not be turcizam.

@@joshcoon It is not new, I'm almost 63 and I knew the word in my youth. I thought it came from gelmek, so it's a turcizam after all, I guess.

Good thing English has the jekavian, ekavian and ikavian pronunciation. Otherwise you would be making a false equivalence.

But she is not following Islam properly. If you attend to proceed you need to first give her reminders about her religion.

Gilje su cipele ili patike. Mangupski sleng od pre 30,40 god. Ustvari korist ih u glavnom oni koji nemaju auto, za giljanje.😂 28:14

TRue, but what do we call the common language?

@@sal78salYugoslavian!

you can, but everyone has collectively decided against that option.@@Alozhatos

​@@sal78sal Most people refer to the common language as Serbo-Croatian, but I've heard Yugoslavian/Yugoslavan (although this is very rare)

@@largedarkrooster6371 you can call it whatever you like. It's not a problem as long as we can all call it what we like. Obviously Bosnians are not going to call our language Serbian or Croatian or Serb-Croatian.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I as a Turk, I searched akibetli in Bosnian dictionary and couldnt find. It is just turkish I suppose

@@efe9446it’s a regional thing

You don't speak Serbo-Croatian, you speak Serbian because that language was taught in Slovenian elementary schools during Yugoslav era and that language was not the same as the language tauhgt in Croatian elementary schools of that period. Even today there are very few Slovenians that speak proper Croatian. You always tend to use ekavian words, Serb grammar etc.

​@@Harahvaiti During Yugoslavia, in Slovenia/ Macedonia was both Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian/Macedonian in schools.

@@AaAa-pf7tj it was Serbian. Not SerboCroatian (that language in real life doesn't exist, it never did). Every Slovenian that was old enough to go to school in exYU learned to speak Serbian and when they come to Croatia and speak with us that is obvious.. from grammar they use to vocabulary.

@@Harahvaiti what's your dealer's number? some good shit he is selling to you.

@@Harahvaiti Well in my case you are wrong because my mother is from Croatia and i do know the difference! But generaly speaking, most of Slovenes mix these two together, using Croatian words which are in most case simillar or the same as in Slovene with ekavica!

i laughed when she said that, as if that counts as an actual "word" in their vocabulary.

@@Ethan-qo9rx me too , it is as i myself using some joke words others around me don't using it . I'm serb ands i don't like that Belgrade slang word as many others honestly they have no nothing in common with real native serbian language . Gilje is very ugly word honestly look as turkish but no turkish it someone invent when to him was bored standard language :D

There are a thousand common words in Bulgarian and Persian

Bosnia is Muslim

@@junaid1040 many of them aren't. What does this have to do with the video?

They're all from old Serbian. Croatian, particularly the Dalmatian coast uses a lot of Italian. Bosnian uses a ton of Turkish. My mom's from Northern Serbia, the province of Vojvodina, and they (used to, probably not now) use a ton of Turkish as well. No idea why. I learned a lot of Turkish words from my mom and uncle. My mom used to call her Dad 'Babo' instead of 'Tata'. I always call my Dad Tata or ćale. Because his parents are from Lika, a predominantly Serbian area of Croatia, he uses the jekavica dialect when he speaks. Sometimes he switched to ekavica. It was so confusing growing up and learning the language because my mom uses ekavica and Turkish borrowed words. My dad would tell me to close the prozor (window) my mom would tell me to close the pendzer (window). She would offer me leb (bread) and sometimes my Dad would offer me hleb or hljeb (bread) 😆

True old serbian is a totally different language from modern serbian. Not so long ago most of serbia spoke a language more simmilair sounding to romanian latin or albanian. One of these dialects is shopian(šopski) this language is still spoken in some parts of serbia its the oldest known form of the south slavic language. We have a saying in that language óbrati bré srbći do te cil svjat razbire in modern day serbian: pričaj srpski da te ceo svet razume.

I thought so too. He has a strong German accent.

Ask your Bosnian friend ti watch this and let us know what they think. This video is bullshit.

And crnogorski (montenegrin)

Congratulations learning 1 language and get knowing at least 4 at the same time

@@johannesgunterman5498 x4 the vocabulary XD

In my opinion as a language connoisseur ( 🇬🇧 🇷🇴 🇷🇺 🇫🇷 ), I don’t think they even constitute as separate languages. They are so similar and if these count as separate, the Romanian spoken in Moldova would be a separate language and the French spoken in Canada would be a separate language. I’ve compared literature in all of these “languages” and they are extremely similar. I would honestly not even call them separate dialects because pretty much completely the same besides some words.

​@@redbrixanimations As a Croatian who also speaks 4 languages, yes they are, pls dont tell that if u ever visit balkan. You will probably get beaten. But on a technical side, we do have different rules, pronunciations, words, so on so on. If i was given Serbian language test, i would fail.

The same goes for Macedonian and Bulgarian. The people from Kumanovo (Macedonian city on Serbian Border) and the people from Vranje (Serbian city on Macedonian border) speak almost the same dialect, but the people from Strumica( Macedonian city near Bulgarian border) and Bulgarians that live near Macedonian border speak almost the same dialect. The whole South Slavic languages are dialect continuum I guess.

Verovatno je mislila na giljotinu i Park is doba Jure ! Ja sam Srbin ali je nisam nista rauzmeo o cemu cura prica. verovatno sam "staromodan ", priglup ;) :P Mi to zovemo u Nisu Beogradsko "proseravanje" razbacivanje izrazima nekim novokomponovanim kao sto su i hrvati jedno vreme uporno pokusavali da smisle neke nove izraze samo da bi im se jezik razlikovao od srpskog . Eh , ironije u oba slucaja, jer je vise nego jasno da se radi o 99 % potpuno istom jeziku!! ja razumem skoro sve nae dijalekte od Dalmatinskog do mog juznosrpskog ali njima nije ni to dovoljno nego su smislili neke nove slang izraze :D ;) :D

Originally; western fascists proclaimed that there is no Jugoslavija, instead we've got 8 different countries. Somewhere, for something; it became important for one: How many languages I speak? I said; about 15. Ha? Which one r those? Serbian, I started, adding other inventions and she said: no, no, no. This is same language. I reminded her to watch what clinton said on tv couple of nights before. But; she claimed it's all same language. For everything else, yeah! It was new inventions that applied.

Especially with how much we meme the balkans

Precisely!

Well, contrary to what you often see on the internet, most conversations between the people of these 3 countries are actually friendly. The vast majority of people are normal people who have no ill feelings.

This is all bulshit , they all speak Serbian

They was in one country about 30 years ago called Yugoslavia you know :)

We actually had a lot of fun! And got along pretty well.

@@RobespierreThePoof it's ok 🤣 And we mentioned that we speak the same language ;)

Wasn't the point of the video to show they're the same but have some differences?

Bosnian contains more Turkish so itt different

@@sevketcoskun2922 most of the Turkish loanwords are originally Arabic and Persian words

@@Lost7one Turkish was a kind of language bridge between middle east and balkans during the ottoman time.

Dobar dan, ja sam pola slovenac i pola hrvatski🇭🇷🇸🇮

Croats, Serbs, Bosnians... are not Slavs like Slovenians. They are old Balkans - pre Indo-Europeans. The closest people to Slovenians are south Austrians who are actually Germanized Slovenians and Hungarians who are Magyarized Slavs.

​@@tongobong1Yes, that is true. We croats arent 100% slavs. We are 60% or somehwere there.

​@@tongobong1We came from Iran, and were aryan, then balkan, then slavic (not 100%)

@@bepobreskovic you are talking about small minority of immigrants that called themselves Croats and gave Croatia its name. Majority of ancestors of Croats were old Balkan Europeans that are descendants of first human than came to Europe 30 thousand years ago. Indo-Europeans came to Balkans about 4000 years ago and Slavs that are also Indo-Europeans came to Balkans around 1400 years ago. Croats have 24% of Slavic DNA and only northern Croats have dominant Slavic DNA. People there are actually Slovenians and they are still speaking Slovenian language - Kajkavian dialect is actually dialect of Slovenian language. Other parts of Croatia have less than 20% of Slavic genes and more than 40% of old Balkan European genes.
