What language is Croatian most similar to?
G’day SSMacd, Thank you for your question. Croatian is a South Slavic language. As Croatian is sometimes classified as a Serbo-Croatian language, it is most closely related to Serbian. Indeed, during the Yugoslavian era, the official policy was to try and merge it with Serbian with no Croatian dictionaries being published during that period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_language It is also related to Bosnian. The languages use different alphabets with Croatian using a Latin alphabet, Serbian a Greek alphabet and Bosnian an Arabic alphabet.
