Dont put words in my mouth, it is rude thing to do. As this is not key it is just one fact in the history of Balkan. And Balkan is not UK. And this comparison just shows that you don't have a clue what you talk about.
I don't know if you've noticed, but you've so far managed to convince absolutely no-one here.
I am not at all convinced that we should have even the 3 wikipedias we have right now. In general, it is quite reasonable to say that there is in fact one language here, not 3, not 4, not 10.
The problem of two writing systems is a difficult one, yes. But the fact remains that if you sit down over a beer with people from all these dialects, they can laugh and joke and have fun together just as well as people with different dialects of English.
