Editing Serbo-Croatian (section)

==== Serbian linguists ====
In 2021, the [[Board for Standardization of the Serbian Language]] issued an opinion that Serbo-Croatian is one language, and that it should be referred to as "Serbian language", while "Croatian", "Bosnian" and "Montenegrin" are to be considered merely local names for Serbian language. This opinion was widely criticized by [[Croatian government]] and representatives of the [[Croats of Serbia|Croatian minority in Serbia]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.danas.rs/vesti/drustvo/bura-u-javnosti-zbog-sadrzaja-u-udzbenicima-za-srpski-hrvatski-nije-juznoslovenski-jezik/ | title=Bura u javnosti zbog sadržaja u udžbenicima za srpski: Hrvatski (ni)je južnoslovenski jezik | publisher=Danas | date=7 October 2021 | access-date=30 October 2021}}</ref> Serbian linguist [[Ranko Bugarski]] called this opinion "absurd" and "legacy of the 19th century linguistics". He said that Serbo-Croatian should be considered one language in a scientific sense under the "Serbo-Croatian" label, but four different languages in an administrative sense.<ref name="Bugarski o jezicima">{{cite web | url=https://www.danas.rs/nedelja/o-juznoslovenskim-jezicima/ | title=O južnoslovenskim jezicima | publisher=Danas | date=17 October 2021 | access-date=30 October 2021 | author=Bugarski, Ranko}}</ref> Legally, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin are all officially recognized minority languages in Serbia.<ref name="Bugarski o jezicima"/> The [[Serbian Government]] also officially recognized [[Bunjevac speech|Bunjevac language]] as a standard minority language in 2018<ref>{{Cite web |title=Odluka o utvrđivanju standarda bunjevačkog jezika: 18/2018-192 |script-title=sr:Одлука о утврђивању стандарда буњевачког језика: 18/2018-192 |trans-title=Decision of the National Council of Bunjevci no. 18/2018-192 |url=http://www.pravno-informacioni-sistem.rs/SlGlasnikPortal/eli/rep/sgrs/drugeorganizacije/odluka/2018/18/1/reg |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210902180124/https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700,800&display=swap&subset=cyrillic,cyrillic-ext,latin-ext |archive-date=2021-09-02 |access-date=2020-07-30 |language=sr |via=Pravno-informacioni sistem RS}}</ref> and was approved by the [[Ministry of Education (Serbia)|Serbian Ministry of Education]] for learning in schools.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Šolaja |first=Dragan |date=2007-10-25 |title=Bunjevački jezik u školskom programu |language=sr |work=Blic |url=http://www.blic.rs/Vesti/Vojvodina/17383/Bunjevacki-jezik-u-skolskom-programu |url-status=live |access-date=2011-05-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121008015751/http://www.blic.rs/Vesti/Vojvodina/17383/Bunjevacki-jezik-u-skolskom-programu |archive-date=2012-10-08}}</ref>
