Editing Serbo-Croatian (section)

=== Political connotations ===
In nationalist linguistics exist conflicting views on shared or related linguistical heritage. Those nationalists among the Croats conflictingly claim either that they speak an entirely separate language from Serbs and Bosniaks or that these two peoples have, due to the longer literary and lexicographic tradition of popular language among Croats, somehow "borrowed" their standard languages from them (e.g. [[Serbian literature]] until early-19th century was primarily written in Serbian recension of [[Church Slavonic]] and [[Slavonic-Serbian]]<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Auburger|first=Leopold|year=2012|title=Položaj hrvatskoga književnog jezika i njegova pravopisa – jučer, danas i sutra|url=https://www.matica.hr/kolo/374/polozaj-hrvatskoga-knjizevnog-jezika-i-njegova-pravopisa-jucer-danas-i-sutra-21630/|journal=[[Kolo (magazine)|Kolo]]|publisher=[[Matica hrvatska]]|language=hr}}</ref>).{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} There's a common debate about positive or negative influence of the [[Croatian Vukovians]], and perception that [[Vuk Karadžić]] invented the [[Greater Serbia]]n linguistic ideology which is culturally appropriating Croatian language/dialects and literary tradition (although a great part of the criticism should be directed to the early Slavists instead).<ref name="Grcevic1998"/> Bosniak nationalists claim that both Croats and Serbs have "appropriated" the [[Bosnian language]], since Ljudevit Gaj and Vuk Karadžić preferred the Neo-Štokavian Ijekavian dialect, widely spoken in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], as the basis for language standardization.{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} Whereas the nationalists among the Serbs claim either that any divergence in the standard language is artificial, and that the whole Shtokavian dialect is Serbian (and hence the Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin standard languages are variations of the Serbian language), and only the Chakavian and Kajkavian dialects are Croatian, in more extreme formulations accusing the Croats to have "taken" or "stolen" their language from the Serbs.<ref name="Grcevic1998"/><ref>{{cite journal|last=Babić|first=Stjepan|author-link=Stjepan Babić|year=2005|title=Hrvati Srbima uzeli ili čak ukrali književni jezik|journal=[[Jezik]]|volume=52|issue=3|pages=112–113|url=https://hrcak.srce.hr/en/15979|language=hr}}</ref>
