Shh... don't say that too loudly, or we'll get a Serbian or a Croatian
or a Bosnian in here telling you how they're vastly different
languages and how you have no idea what you're talking about and all
sorts of other nationalist bull. That isn't to say there aren't
differences between the three, just that they're smaller than
nationalists would like to have you believe.
Serbian nationalist Mr Nikola Smolenski of en.wikipedia and
sr.wikipedia would like us to revise Wikipedia to have Bosnian
considered a dialect of Serbian, along with Montenegrin, both of which
are very widely considered to be separate languages and if anything
are dialects of "Serbo-Croatian" rather than "Serbian". AaMoF, he has
been somewhat successful with his POV-pushing regarding Montenegrin -
it is obvious, at least to me, when reading [[:en:Montenegrin
language]] that he had a hand in multiple revisions, but I don't dare
{{sofixit}} because I have seen him tear other users to shreds over
it, although admittedly [[User:Montenegrin]]'s contributions bordered
on POV-pushing themselves.

Nope. Now, for your next task, you must (a) call 'bullshit' on
the separation of the Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian Wikipedias
(b) get this to stick. Good luck ;-D
