Serbian Wikipedia is far worse in that regard.
Serbian Wikipedia is far worse in that regard.
Since when I shared the link with my friend from Croatia - he commented:
"Ha. Tamo pak povijest ne bi išao gledati" (Losely translated as "Lol. Yeah I wouldn't be reading about history there")
To which I've replied: "Eh pa to kao i vesti - pogledaš/proveriš sve verzije, pošto je 'istina' negde između." (Losely translated as "Yeah it's like news, you check all variants/versions, because the 'truth' is somewhere in between").
Croatian is Latin only - and IIRC only people born before ~1980 or so were taught Cyrillic in school (unless they are "Serbians from Croatia"). Street signs are only in Latin, but in past I think they had kind of dual script signs like in Serbia.
Bosnian ... Ugh well Serbian/Orthodox-Christian majority parts (Republika Srpska) have signs only in Cyrillic. Non Serbian parts (so Croatian and Muslim/Bošnjak parts) have signs only in Latin.
So I guess BiH (Bosnia & Herzegovina) might be the only valid use case for Serbo-Croatian?
Montenegrin used to be exactly the same as Serbian (so Cyrillic, and different dialect/accent and very few actually different words). But they also started inventing new words to distinguish themselves from Serbian - so I'm not really sure which version of Wikipedia they would default to.
BTW all the words can be transliterated between Latin and Cyrillic with dummy search/replace. For example "đ" = "ђ" = "dj" (if you don't have "fancier" version of "d" on your Latin typewriter/keyboard)
Meanwhile (Former Yugoslav Republic OF /and now known as just Northern/) Macedonia was always Cyrillic (except like in Kosovo there's many Albanian speaking people there, and they use mostly Latin, though I can't say for sure about Christian Orthodox minority in Albania).
And despite being rather different than Serbian/Croatian (let's not stir up flames by saying mix of Serbo-Croatian and Bulgarian). When I run into random Macedonian people - they literally say "Two countries (Serbia and Macedonia), but one nation".
PS. I'm originally from Belgrade/Serbia; Wife is 1990s refugee from Croatia; When we were born it was one bigger Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia; We're living in The Netherlands; Our kids have Serbian and Croatian citizenship; Friends and Family are scattered across that former/bigger Yugoslavia (mostly Serbia and Croatia) and some live in the rest of Europe.
