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
