Bosnian
Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian are different national variants of the Serbo-Croatian language. These four languages were divided into national registers after the break-up of Yugoslavia in 1991. The languages are mutually intelligible in spoken format and also in written format if written with Latin script (Croatian uses only Latin script but Bosnian, Montenegrin and Serbian use both Latin and Cyrillic).

Interesting fact
Whilst differences between Bosnian and its related languages (Serbian, Croatian and Montenegrin) are small, Bosnian uses more Persian, Turkish and Arabic loanwords due to its old ties with the Ottoman empire.
