Languages

Hi! I've added Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian under national languages in the infobox. The official languages field was rightly changed to "none" in Special:Diff/1185581216 but I do think having the three listed in another field would be appropriate. There appeared to be some discussion about this previously and above. Would appreciate input on the change (pinging @Governor Sheng) :D Justi yaya 08:11, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can give United States and Australia as an example we whould follow here as well. The Constitution doesn't recognise official languages, while entities are another story. I understand your line of thinking, but for me, I think it's erronious. Governor Sheng (talk) 00:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

can you please change place with official languages to Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian? Because, according to the bosnian (and entities) constitution(s) official languages are Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian.

I still don't have right to change protected text, so I am kindly asking you to do so.

Thank you!

Hi, can you please add Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian in Infobox, as official languages. Because, according to the bosnian Constitution, those languages are official. Thank you. Kind regards AK2468 (talk) 16:57, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: the article currently lists three sources stating that there are not any official languages. Can you please address this? LittlePuppers (talk) 04:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(courtesy ping: AK2468.) LittlePuppers (talk) 04:41, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to entities constitutions. (FBiH, RS)

AK2468 (talk) 09:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

this should instead follow the footsteps of United States where under official language there is None but in national languages it writes all 3? LeMeowMew (talk) 02:14, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but in constitutions of bosnian entities (FBiH, RS), there is clearly written, that official languages are Bosnian,Serbian and Croatian. AK2468 (talk) 11:07, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

sure but the point is we are asking for a source that this is the case, i cannot read any of the 3 languages so it's up to you or someone who can to find it LeMeowMew (talk) 13:55, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History

There is a glaring lack of neutrality in the history section. 2A02:1388:14A:4626:0:0:E3CF:B713 (talk) 05:34, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the second paragraph under Ottoman Empire there are grammatical errors where "of" is used in place of "have".

"Going by the evidence, the early Muslim conversions in Ottoman Bosnia in the 15th–16th century is considered to of happened from the locals whom stayed rather than mass Muslim settlements from outside Bosnia."

"By the late 16th and early 17th century, Muslims are considered to of become an absolute majority in Bosnia and Herzegovina."

In both of these sentences "considered to of" should be "considered to have".

In the first sentence it should also read "the locals who stayed" rather than "the locals whom stayed". ZhephZ (talk) 06:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change native language from Serbo-Croatian to Bosnian. 77.77.216.29 (talk) 05:36, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is not correct. Serbo-Croatian remains the language, Bosnian is one of the mutually intelligible standard varieties of Serbo-Croatian. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:10, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
