Abstract:

This article shows and analyses the language differences in the region of former Yugoslavia. Language politics in the countries of former Yugoslavia is aimed to prove that differences really exist, that is why this research would like to show the fact that those differences are symbolical (example of translation from Croatian to Serbian and labels of food products). Four languages which came into being from Serbo–Croatian language family are still based on the New Shtokavian dialect and the differences are discernible only on lexical surface characteristic for region, not nation. The result of the analyses of those examples show that differences are artificially created because very often a word considered to be unique in one language exists in other languages too. During the analyses the comparative method was used.
