      this is the only evidence you need to see there’s no difference between Serb and Croat, you can’t even see the silly border

      I truly don’t understand why the Croatian elites chose Shtokavian as the base of their „very distinct language“ when they standardized their version of Serbo-Croatian.

      If the Serbian standard was already based off Shtokavian, the capital of Croatia spoke Kajkavian and they wanted to differentiate themselves from the Serbs, why didn’t they go with Kajkavian?

      Wait are the differences between Western and Southern Shtokavian just the different religions? How does that count as different sub-dialects wtf

      „Torlakian“ is a West Bulgarian dialect influenced by Serbian. They only got these lands after the Russo-Turkish War of 1878, they weren’t a part of Old Serbia and were listed as a province with a Bulgarian population in Ottoman censuses („Nish subprovince“).

      Chakavian subdialects are incorrectly shown and kajkavian dialects west of Zagreb are definitely not part of some “slovene border dialects”. Also, I’ve never heard that someone adds the phantom third subdivision to a shtokavian shown here as “southern shtokavian”, usually it’s considered as part of the western form.

      It would have been nice to include in this map the three different “yat pronunciations” of the Shtokavian: ijekavian, ekavian and ikavian.
      The first two were one of the main differences I noticed when I crossed Croatia and Serbia. Never heard the ikavian pronunciation.
      Also, I would tend to consider Kajkavian and Chakavian distinct languages more than dialects but I’m not a native so I could be wrong. Any thoughts?

      It’s a cool map, but it’s very simplified and outdated by at least 50 years.

      The map implies that the majority of people in Istria speak Chakavian, which is far from the truth.
      And Torlakian is nowadays an archaic dialect spoken in rural areas close to Bulgaria, while the map implies that it is spoken throughout southern Serbia.
