Bosnian is one of the major, standardized forms of the diasystem once known as Serbo-Croatian. Bosnian is used primarily by Bosniaks from the Bosnia and Herzegovina region of Eastern Europe. The name of the language, Bosnian, is a controversial issue in itself. Croats and Serbs living in Bosnia and Herzegovina refer to their languages as Croatian and Serbian, respectively. When viewing Bosnian as colloquial idiom, speakers of the language are more homogenous relative to consistecy and usage than either the Serbs or Croats. Due to a number of historical reasons, they failed to standardize their language during the critical years of 19th century. Later, during the times of Communist Yugoslavia, the language was "Serbianized" and the name of the language itself officially became Serbo-Croatian (which notably made no mention of its Bosnian practitioners). After the implosion of Yugoslavia, the Bosniaks became the sole speakers of the Bosnian variant of this Serbo-Croatian hybrid. Today they continue trying to reshape it, under the name Bosnian, into a standardized, independent, and internationally recognized language.
