E Ante, samo je činjenica da su hrvatski (a pogotovo bošnjački) korisnici ovde mnogo više opterećeni ratom nego srpski, i da imaju potrebu da svima ispričaju kako su odbranili svoju "hiljadugodišnju domovinu" od "srpskog agresora".

Jagoda, here are the words that have been said in the English House of Commons in 1992 [3] where it has been said: "A third, Serbia, has rightly been refused recognition because of its naked aggression against others...". Maybe Croats are thinking things up? Yes, Panonian, Serbia was an aggressor. Live with the fact that Serbia screwed up. Live with that guilt.

Please, tell me one non-biased non-Croatian source claiming Marco Polo of Croatian origin? You say that there are so many - please, present them to me. I don't call Tesla Serbo-Croatian - I call every Serbo-Croat like that (AFAIC, Croatian or Serbian would be more according to his geopolitical ideology better). Ivo Andric was an ethnic Croat. He was also a Serbian patriot, a Serb nationalist, a Serbian politician and a Serbian writer. What's wrong with that?

What I meant is why didn't you respond to my long-ago posts about my place of origin - Montenegro. --HolyRomanEmperor 14:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. Actually, I believe that Nikolic is the most popular Serb name, but I'm sure Jovanovic is near the top somewhere. Also, I think that Ivankovic is a Croat name, while Ivanovic is Serbian. But, if someone is called Ivan, it can be Serb or Croat, so there is no specific ethnicity connected to it. I'm not that familiar with origins of last names, so I wouldn't speculate about the origins of Markovic and Petkovic. Once again, thanks for the welcome. --Svetislav Jovanović 02:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

RE: Stop silly edit war

Jagoda,

I'm glad that you contacted me about the matter.

"The Balkan war was a joke...the politicans turned brother against brother.."

The war was no joke. If you need proof, ask my good friends who lost fathers on the battlefront. The politicians did turn brother against brother, I have to agree on that with you.

"keep Serb POV out of Srebernica ...we all know what went on..no point hiding that."

Of course we know. Of course 8,000 Bosniaks were killed by Serb forces led by Ratko Mladic. But was it genocide? Was it? It's not NPOV to say it was. Facts are facts, bias is bias.

"Everyone has independence now ...we all got what we wanted"

Well, not everyone.. yet. Kosovo and Republika Srpska are left. Both want independence, no compromise. The war is still on, but this one is more silent.

Jagoda, you seem like an intelligent and rational person, and wouldn't like to get into an argument with you because you seem more superior on the field of dialogue. You have to understand that I am a passionate guy, and sometimes my heart is quicker than my brain. So, if I ever say something blunt or stupid, please try to ignore it and accept me as I am. Respect,

Luppis

I write some edits on the article about Luppis. I remember you that only in Croatia is remembered as "Croat", that I've not spent time writin about "nationality". Anyway Luppis was ethnical Italian. I remember that the real name is "Giovanni Luppis" and "Ivan Lupis" is only a translation. All my edits are taken from the quoted references. --Giovanni Giove 08:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Pozdrav

Sure, I have noticed this bias, but in the sake of fairness, it must be said that there are also some who relentlessly push the anti-serb bias. I guess it's not so surprising that a decade and a half of government propaganda from both sides has spilled over onto wikipedia. I try to be careful not to push any POV, but I do make a priority of undoing slander and lies directed at Croatia and the Croats. Anyway, thanks for the greeting! Mihovil 16:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

RE: Respect

I like the way you think. However, I'd like to point out that it is not true that Croats are only messing with the Nikola Tesla article. Besides that article, some Croats (like Ante Perkovic etc.) have been helping the Bosniaks with articles like Republika Srpska, while some are even helping Albanians in Kosovo-related articles. There is a huge amount of distrust between Serbs and Croats here on Wikipedia. The funny thing is that I'm half Serb, half Croat, although I consider myself Serb; you see, I came to Wikipedia with a fairly good will to be neutral and not offend either side. But that all changed when I joined Croatian Wikipedia - I was basically chased away when I proposed to change the Tesla article in the sense that it is written that he is a Serb. This is what ticked me off to turn against them.

I also know some Serbs who told me that they were chased off a beach in Split this summer by a gang of anti-Serb Croats. I remember when I was in Dubrovnik, our car was graffitied with the words "Chetniks" all over it, just because the licence plate was from Serbia.

Tesla... yes, it would be stupid to say that he wasn't a Serb, but he was neither born in Croatia. He was born in the Austrian Empire, in the Military Frontier, what is now known as Croatia. Think of it this way, if Illinois becomes Canada one day, was Ronald Reagan born in Canada?

I have to agree about Tito, it's his fault that there is a problem in Kosovo, but it's basically his fault that war in Yugoslavia even broke out. By not leaving a strong successor, he destroyed the only factor that was keeping the South Slavic people together. Tito was selfish, he wanted Yugoslavia to break up after he dies, so that people will say "Oh, I remember the good times, when Tito was president... Good times"; which is exactly what most people are saying today :)

If you're interested, I'd like to discuss these topics some more with you. If you have MSN, add me: bormalagurski@hotmail.com

“Tesla... yes, it would be stupid to say that he wasn't a Serb, but he was neither born in Croatia. He was born in the Austrian Empire, in the Military Frontier, what is now known as Croatia. Think of it this way, if Illinois becomes Canada one day, was Ronald Reagan born in Canada?” What a stupid statement! Then Adolf Hitler isn’t a German from Austria either because he was also born in the Austrian Empire. The Military Frontier, or Krajina, har never been Serbian land and it will never be a part of Greater Serbia. I’m sorry if this doesn’t fit your agenda.

And following sentence is even more stupid: “I have to agree about Tito, it's his fault that there is a problem in Kosovo, but it's basically his fault that war in Yugoslavia even broke out. By not leaving a strong successor, he destroyed the only factor that was keeping the South Slavic people together. Tito was selfish, he wanted Yugoslavia to break up after he dies, so that people will say "Oh, I remember the good times, when Tito was president... Good times"; which is exactly what most people are saying today :)” Why should he leave a strong successor? If people don’t want to live together, why should they? If other nations such as Americans or Germans have the right to their own country and destiny, why shouldn’t the people of former Yugoslavia has this right?

“I remember when I was in Dubrovnik, our car was graffitied with the words "Chetniks" all over it, just because the licence plate was from Serbia.” Oh, that’s really sad. Did they throw apples at you as well? That’s a really terrible crime especially when you compare to what the Serbs did to Dubrovnik in the early 90’ when Serbian systematically tried to destroy they city and killed hundreds of Croatian civilians. Don’t be ridiculous! --84.217.36.143 (talk) 21:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Reply

I believe that you refer to Vuk Karadzic - I have no idea what you meant by that. I respect him as a linguist and a collector of wise old sayings, poems and stories - and nothing else.

Serbs mixed with the Dalmatians in the same manner as Croats. For instnace, the population of southerns dalmatia (and Boka) is almost entirely from (mid-to-eastern) Herzegovina. For example, the wholesome population of the City of Ragusa during its Republican time (Medieval Ages) originates from Serbia and Bosnia. The Kosovo debate is silly and needless - ofcourse Serbs where there first, before the Albanians. A good comparation of Albanians' claims is the Serbs' claims of their indiginousness in Krajina (in Croatia). Such nonsence should be abandoned.

Croats never make claims?

Croats never make claims? Are you kidding? The Croats claim the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina (and it appears, you among them), the whole of Montenegro (the ultra-nationalistic propagandist theory of Red Croatia) and even Sandzak (the Serbian part). The Red Croat theory makes them draw claims as deep as the northern half of Albania to Drac! Skim around the internet and you'll find research that claim that Macedonia is a Croat land (and thereby neighbouring territories in Kosovo, Bulgaria and Serbia. Ante Starcevic is the initiator of the typical claim that Slovenes are Alpine Croats. How can you claim such a thing after that? Then, do you remember the claim that the second Serbian dynasty, the House of Vojislavljevic is a Croat dynasty? Don't Ante Starcevic, the current Croatian Party of Rights and many Croat historians claim that the Nemanjics are thus Croats? Thus, the Medieval Serbian state they call Croatian ("Croatian Empire of Stjepan Dusan"); are you saying Ante's sentence that Croatia should reach its eastern historical border of Attica (Capital of Greece!). Pardon me, but these claims exceed any wild dreams that the Serbs have had.

1990s Greater Croatia

This is only the plan during the 1990s war. It does not show the wholesome territorial claim over Montenegro, nor over parts of Kosovo, Macedonia or northern Albania (nor Slovenia). However, this reminded me to point out the most gruesome of all Croat theories - that Serbs draw origin from the Croats themselves (a. k. a. that they're Orthodox Croats). This draws origin from the theory of a previously united Slavic state (that the Croat historians claim that it's a "Croat state"). You indeed have much to learn. Both Croats and Serbs can propagate nationalist rhetheric. --HolyRomanEmperor 15:04, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

HRM, there was no such plan and you know it. The evidence in the ICTY shows that at worst, Tudjman was interested in the borders of the Banovina of Croatia, and Susak was only interested in Western Herzegovina.

And the theory you are talking about is not gruesome - it based on a notion of nationality and religion based on citizenship rather than ethnicity. Nothing radical about such a notion.

If I can generalise your point, any national group can propagate nationalist rhetoric - however the "Greater Serb nationalist" (as opposed to Serb nationalist) has developed a worldwide reputation for it.

Now pls stop badgering this poor girl. croatian_quoll 15:21, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I believe that "Serbs claim" you mean "Serbia claims". Then, what is wrong with the claims on Vojvodina and Kosovo - that are a part of Serbia? Should we ridicule Croatia's claim on Krajina... or Bosnia's claim on Republic Srbska? Ofcourse not.

Why is that Croats outnumber Serbs in the west 100,000 to 1.? No idea what you mean by this. Could you elaborate? --HolyRomanEmperor 15:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

CWofI

Welocme to wiki. I'm an Australian Croatian as well, but from Sydney, presently residing in Japan - konnichi wa (今日は）！

I see the Serb Wikipedians giving you some attention - wow, I feel so unloved! lol

Have removed reference I made to a vote as I have been advised it is bad wiki-etiquette. Apologies for any confusion. croatian_quoll 23:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

PS: the evidence of Croats settling Boka Kotorska is in description of Crvena Hrvatska in Ljetipis Pop Dukljanin which contradicts the claim that the states covering the area where Serb lands in DAI.

The Croats settled most of modern day Bosnia - note Bosnia west of the Vrbas river was known throughout history as Turkish Croatia until the time of Vlach sttlements in the 16th/17th centuries when the current term of Bosanska Krajina was adopted. There was a semi-autonomous area called Bosnia centred on the Bosnia river in the North East of modern day BiH which changed hands b/w Croatian and Serbian rulers. But most of the time it was either part of Hungary-Croatia or independent. Some Serb wikipedians would have you believe that medieval Serbia extended to the Una river in modern day Croatia and utilise some unresolved work by Croatian historian, Nada Klaic to justify it. I

So, yes you are justified in yor claims.

PPS: The massacre of Muslims at Srebrenica is infamous precisely because it is the first case ruled as genocide by an international court (ICTY). So yes, calling it a genocide is accurate.

Who's to say that the maps were correct and not a part of Serbian propaganda? :D heh, well, you remind me of the Vojislav Seselj paranoia, who claims the Catholic Church and Germany're fault for the Yugoslav 1990s. :D Be realistic. By the 6th-7th (and thus the Serbs and Croats), Illyrians were largely extinct. Additionally, you must prove a source why you claim such a thing. Please read WP:CITE. You cannot come, barge, and state that Bosnia and Boka were Croat lands. Imagine me comming to you and claiming that Spain is traditionally a Hungarian land and that the Spaniards migrated later to Spain and that the Catholic Spaniards are actually Catholic Hungarians. Do you understand? --HolyRomanEmperor 15:18, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

There are about 3,000 Serbs in Vancouver, alltogether 5,000 in Canada. There are more than 25,000 Croats in Canada. Come to Canada and ask someone if they have Serbian friends - all of them will say No, as serbs are generally hated here in Canada.. --Serb ^talk 23:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I understand what you are trying to say and I agree. Scientist studies and countless censuses around the world confirm that there are few Serbs arround the world, but about 4.5 million Croats in Croatia & that number again arround the rest of the world. Its that simple, and you can't prove it wrong.

Now, if you go to many Croat clubs around the world, I'm sure you'll meet a lot of Croats, no doubt about it. And if you meet other non-Croats in those clubs, I'm sure they'll tell you that they know a lot of Croats. And if you only hang out with Croats, no other nation exists for you, right? (hypothetically speaking). If you look at some of the major European countries:

• Germany: 150,000 Serbs, 230,000 Croats
• Austria: 77,320 Serbs, 131,307 Croats
• United Kingdom: 2,000 Serbs, 11,000 Croats

I think it's pretty clear that the people of, for example, England will assume that if someone's last name ends with -ic, he or she is Croatian. Thank you, --Serb ^talk 01:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

No worries - I saw you getting a fair bit of attention and thought I'ld give you some support. HRM is right though in that any claim needs to be backed up by citing sources. Have a read of the Wiki guidelines as to what is allowed and what isn't.

But even citing sources can be abused sometimes with some sources cited being self-referential or from rather nationalistic historians. Examples include the claim of Greater Croatia above and Srbija to the Una, and that Rudjer Boskovich was a Serb. Also, I often find that one historical fact may have an extended interpretation to include some bizzare conspiracy theories and often this is the source of much conflict. I agree with your impression that there is a Serb POV in alot of articles in Wiki. But it is important that we stick to the rules, refrain from personal attacks and respect the opinions of Serbian Wikipedians even if we disagree with them - rules that I try to live to although not always succesfully.

Anyways, happy wikipediaing!

Well, I have no personal opinion on this, to be honest. Reading my Lonely Planet Guide to Croatia, there is a citation of a book titled Venetian Adventurer: Marco Polo, by Henry H. Hart. It suggests that Marco Polo's family came from Šibenik. Under this theory Polo's original name was Pile, then italianised to its equivalent Polo (early Italian for Pollo).

Bok, Jagoda! sadly, we cannot include the Polo link to Maradona if we don't have a respectable source about it. I really have no idea about statistics of Slavic ancestries in Argentina (just for Slovenia), but they are sure a lot. You are right about those last names, they were Spanishied upon arrival to Argentina, or simply deformed (mine was too). There are, nevertheless, also many that have the Croatian side from their mothers, so they lost the Croatian surname. I don't know how important it is to state that Maradona had a croatian greate-greate-grand father, but I guess it is not harmful. Do viđenja.

Razgovaram sa Makedoncima stalno, i uvijek govorim na Srpskohrvatskom a oni sve razumiju, dok oni pricaju na Makedonskome, a ja sve razumijem (citaj: sve). Slovenski je vec pomalo komplikacija... mislim da cu ga ukloniti sa liste.

Da, Vadim Kokielov je poznata faca Wikipedije. ;) No ja nijesam znao da je on iz Gruzije - on rece da je iz Rusije.

Tesla i zvezda

Čuo sam da je Tesla odbio nagradu. Što se tiče zvezde, pogledaj na mojoj strani ove zvezde koje već imam, pa samo iskopiraj jednu od njih i napiši tekst koji želiš i stavi ili na moju stranu ili stranu za razgovor. Hvala unapred za zvezdu. :)) PANONIAN (talk) 01:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... nemoj me zvati "Srbinom". 1. Koji su osnovi za to i 2. Koja je svrha uopce?

Ja imam u mojim rukama najvecu, najbolju i najopsirniju knjigu ikada napisanu o Tesli - njegova licna biografija; na hrvatskom, tj srpskom i na engleskom. Mnogo je velika, pa je, na zalost, nikada nijesam procitao - ali u njoj nema nista o Tesli sto se moze naci drugdje. Tu ces naci sve o njemu, i to zacudjujuce, vrlo objektivno. --PaxEquilibrium 10:20, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

It's just some silly & rather pointless discussion that I have with Kubura - Where did I say Croatia "wanted to rule Serbia"? ;D Nowhere.

Using the definition of the Yugoslav wars that Serbia "attacked" Slovenia, Croatia & Bosnia is far-fetched and cannot really be applied. Actually, if you just put the blame on one warring faction, than it's your problem, not mine, Serbia's or Thailand's :) (that's POV, by the way). We could theoretize now that Serbia shouldn't have attempted centralization and that there wouldn't be a Kosovo war and that it shouldn't have joined in a greater Yugoslav centralist movement to maintain Yugoslavia and there would've been no Yugoslav wars at all. But then again, we could say how Albanian terrorists & rebels shouldn't have rebelled and called for separatism and there would be no trouble on Kosovo. We could also theoritize that Croatia is the sole reason to blame for the Yugoslav wars, just because of the Croatian Spring (MASPOK) which is the first key that rotated the destabilization of Yugoslavia. But then we could blame Slovenia or Croatia for trying to martially secede a greater country and claim that there would be no violence if they obeyed the Laws. Or we could say that there would've been no Civil War in Croatia if the Serbs simply accepted the decision of the Croats... or again backwards that if Croatia didn't bring the nationalist Constitution, there would not have been any sort of war in Croatia whatsoever... Or we could blame the Serb Republic, saying that if it remained in BiH there wouldn't have been a Bosnian War... similiar with the Herzeg-Bosnian Croats... or maybe if Bosnian Muslims (Bosniacs) never attempted to martially secede from Yugoslavia and impose centralism on all of Bosnia-Herzergovina? Or how about to put the sole guilt on Montenegro; which gave the Serb Republic, the Republic of Serbia and the Yugoslav Federal Republic its leadersh, whose movement controlled everything and produced 60% of the ICTY war criminals? Please... the arguement of "blaiming" is a self-rotating wheel that you cannot stop - so don't start it. That's what I say. :)

Macedonia gained independence without problems because it seceded legally & constitutionally.

Rusi su "pustili" Ukrajince i Bjeloruse jer se cijeli Sojvetski Savez raspao, sto je dovelo do sramotnih danasnjih komunistickih granica istocne Evrope, koje su izvan razuma. Bjelorusi i Ukrajinci su iste vjere kao i Rusi, pa nije bilo nikakve verske netrpeljivosti - dok su Hrvati rimokalotici a Srbi istocno-pravoslavno. A kada govorimo o tome kako su Sovjeti "pustili" koga, sjeti se da je bilo skoro rata u batlickim zemljama Estoniji, Litvaniji i Letoniji; koje Sovjeti nisu htjeli "pustiti" olako. Grci nijesi nikada "pustili" Makedoniju. 1912-1913 osvojili su vecinu Makedonije i drze je kao sastavni dio svoje drzave do dan-danas. --PaxEquilibrium 08:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Evo ti odgovor

E, moja jagoda. Slusaj ovo je tesko pitanje. Now in English, since I am guessing that your parents or most likely your grandparents immigrated to Australia, I shall write in English. Listen, the answer is complicated. To some extent it is true. However, religion, culture, language, etc. are different. Even physical features can differ. Believe it or not I can distinguish a Serbian from a Bosnian most of the time. There are facial (physical) differences. I mean we have specific genes that identify us from Serbs or Croats, [5]. Next, many converted when the ottomans came and stayed Muslim. It is estimated that between 4-5 million Bosniaks went to Turkey after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Some of them speak in Archaic Bosnian. No one can tell you an exact answer since history is not clear for that part of the world. I mean I am Muslim and totally act like any other European (implying education, clubs, girls, beer) and still am viewed as Muslim. The culture that came with the ottomans did not persist. It morphed during the years. (I do not, however, eat pork). But in the long run most Bosniaks are Muslim since they converted from the Turks, but they are not Serbs or Croats. The medieval Bosnian church existed. Tvrtko was the Catholic king and fought for Bosnia, expanding the Bosnian borders all the way to Zadar on the Croatian coastline. So Bosnians as a nation existed, but religion shifted. I mean, you do not have to be Serbian to be catholic, etc. No, Bosnians, were not Serbian or Croatian, maybe some converted from those parts and came to Bosnia? However, Bosnians, as a nation existed before. Thanks, Vseferović 05:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Slavs!

The music was based on Jan Henryk Dabrowski's (a Polish heroic General of noble stock) Mazurka from the late 18th century. The text was based on the lines for the song written by a Croatian-Illyrian artist from the first half of the 19th century, Dragutin Rakovac. --PaxEquilibrium 20:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Odgovor 2

No, I would not say there are more similarities with Croats then Serbs. I cannot tell you for sure, but I do not see how this would be correct. In this war, as most Bosniaks would say, both the Serbs and the Croats were the "enemies". Most see Croats as backstabbers instead of allies. I mean a good or even great person is Stipe Mesic, however the extremist Croatians (Ustase) would say he is a "fag", "gypsy", etc. since he is such an open minded person. I mean looking at Franjo Tuđman whose only goal was to get more and more land from Bosnia; we see how most Bosnians can see Croatians in a negative perspective. Overall, there will never be an answer whether Bosnians are physically similar to Croatians.

From a Bosnian viewpoint (after the incidents of the Balkan War):

• A Serb will tell you that he hates you

• A Croat will act as your friend and then turn against you for his or her benefit

Vuk Karadzic standardized the Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian languages. Good man, we now have an easy to read language.

I AM NOT SAYING THESE ARE MY VIEWPOINTS SINCE I AM OPENMINDED (Regarding Croatians)

Thanks, Vseferović 04:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Srba ima 6,200,000-6,225,000 otprilike (najtocnija procjena) u Srbiji. Hrvata u Hrvatskoj ima oko 4,000,000.

About backstabbers... well, if they think about us that way, we can't change it. Let them believe so. Ako tako mislidu o nami, neka in je, ne moremo to prominit.
The interesting thing is that already from the times of epic poetry (Croat, Serb and Montenegrin), Slavic Muslims from Bosnia, Herzegovina and other parts conquered by Ottomans (I avoid the term "Bosnian" and "Bosniak"; Bosnians are also Croats and Serbs, while surname "Bosniak" has highest frequency among Croats, besides existing among Serbs and Slavic Muslims from B&H) were marked as backstabbers, as the ones you can't trust, "ni u moru mire ni u Turčina vire".
And that in recent history, their military "successes" in B&H were achieved by betraying Bosnia-Herzegovina Croat allies (e.g. shooting in the back in the casserne "Tihomir Mišić" in Mostar, if I remember well) and taking their land. Well, this paragraph should its own article.
Vuk Karadžić standardized....? He maybe added some glance (some of those glances are abandoned in Croatian), but Croatian was standardized before Karadžić; you've forgotten Bartol Kašić and Šime Starčević (beside others). Kubura 09:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Population

Srba ima 6,200,000-6,400,000 otprilike (najtocnija procjena sest i pol milijuna) u Srbiji (mada neki kazu sedam milijuna, no to je precjena). Hrvata u Hrvatskoj ima oko 4,000,000. --PaxEquilibrium 22:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Moja jagoda

First, tell me when was the last time (if ever) that you went to BiH or Croatia. You must understand that religion is a huge factor. One cannot simply overlook religion. With religion come different customs and cultures. For example the traditional folk dress and songs differ greatly among Bosnians, Croatians, and Serbians. Our dialiects are different as well, the international society views "our" language as three seperate ones. Slowly we are seperating further and further apart that in about 150 to 200 years we will be totally different nations. Croatia is already, especially after the war, imposing different/old words to further split the similarities. Even physically we see differences, I mean Bosnians, Croatians, and Serbians can easily distinguish each other by our looks. We are not as similar as one might think. The Wikipedia society (of Bosnians, Croatians, and Serbians) has discussed this a long time ago and we have decided to end these talks, since, in the end, they lead nowhere. I understand your viewpoints and I am not saying that I disagree with them, but look at the facts or ask anyone. The large Croatian community in Australia has older viewpoints that just do not work in today's society. Thanks and reply, Vseferović 20:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Cannot reply...

Strawberry, if I reply to this than I would be labeled as being prejudice. There are, as with every ethnicity (people), different characteristics. I am neither saying that one is superior nor am I saying that one has physical issues. All that I am trying to point out is that Bosnians, Croatians, and Serbians usually can distinguish one from another. These I would say are stereotypes that often are true. But yes, we do have a lot of common physical features. Thank you, Vseferović 02:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Da, Cikago ima mnogo srba i hrvata. Oko 200.000 hrvata i 300.000 srba sa okolinom. Dakle, Cikago i tkz. Cikagoland (predgrade). Ne zaboravi da ima oko 50.000 bosnjaka isto. Ovo godine je bilo 100 godine bosnjaka u Americi. Nemoj brisati razgovore koje smo imali. Jednostavno nije pravilo wikipedije da se brise. Vseferović 21:58, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Just a short hello from a fellow Aussie (well, sort of ;-). I see you know a bit about our emigration in Australia. I am trying to learn more about history of Montenegrin migrants and what is your impression about the current situation among our people (yes, I think we are all the same **it pretty much).Hope you can help.

Fallen Off the Cliff

Sorry, mate. I appreciate your response very much, just few things happened at the same time this week, that's all. My granddad was one of those people that emigrated at the beginning of 20th century, to Argentina. He made one mistake, though. He came back after 25 years. Was never truly understood back home. On a different topic, about a year ago, I came accross an old lady (born 1917 in Australia) who spoke Montenegrin although she visited Montenegro for the first time only about ten years ago. Her parents imigrated some time during the WWI. When she was going to school, speaking in a foreign language was strictly forbiden, however, she learned it at her home from her parents and she kept it alive all these years. Compared to her vocabulary, my language was almost 100% Serbian, pretty embarassing, however, it was an amazing insight into the past. Her words: "Ja zborim nashki". Mozemo i mi malo po naski. Reka bi da su tvoji dosli iz Dalmacije. Vidio sam u Terrey Hills jedan hrvatski klub, cini mi se Dalmacija se zove. Sto se Crnogoraca tice, oni sto su dosli poslije WWII su vecinom pro-Srpski orjentisani. Postoji jedan vrlo dobro organizovan klub ("Njegos" kako bi se drugo i zva) a postoje i starosjedioci kao ona stara dama. Pozdrav, Momisan 08:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Kako te nadjoh? Mislim da sam odgovara Pax-u na nekakva pitanja na njegovoj strani pa me neki djavo nadje da pogledam sto mu drugi ljudi pisu, i tako dodjoh do tebe. Jesi li kad bio u Boku? (Ovo sam ti namjerno napisa "nepravilno"). Dalmatinski i Crnogorski imaju jako puno slicnosti, u stvari najslicniji jezik Dalmatinskom je upravo Crnogorski, bar iz moga skromnoga iskustva. Oba su zvanicno bila "nepravilna", Hrvati oce da istisnu Dalmatinski a Srbi Crnogorski, ma se ne damo tako lako! Crnogorci su svoj jezik isto tako u proslosti nazivali "naski". Nazalost, vrlo slabo poznajem Boku iz licnog iskustva, bio sam jednom u Dobrotu na ljetovanje i to je to. Znam da Kotorani i Tivcani sad pricaju dosta slicno Cetinjanima, dok Novljani vise naginju hercegovackom. Sadasnja Crna Gora je vrlo raznolika zemlja, ako odes na primjer u Ulcinj, isto je ka da si nedje na bliskom istoku, ako odes u Kotor vec si u Dalmaciju. Boka i Bokelji jesu vrlo posebni, a nacionalnost je u vrijeme stare Jugoslavije bila tabu tema, tako da tek sad saznajemo vise jedni o drugima. Mozda ces mi ti rec sto su tebe tvoji stari prenijeli o svojoj Boki. Inace, ja sam iz Stare Crne Gore. Pozdrav, Momisan 04:39, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Slucajno naletih na ovo ali ipak ovo zahtjeva odgovor...nije bas najsretnije mjesto ali sto ces. Hrvati ne zele istisnuti Dalmatinski jer dalmatinski jest hrvatski jezik. A i usporedba sa Crnogom Gorom i Srbijom ti bas nije najsretnija. --Factanista 19:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
