Sample of Croatian
Croatian is a South Slavic language which is used primarily by the inhabitants of Croatia as well as Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is very closely related to Bosnian and Serbian, languages of the former Yugoslavian Republic and all three languages are mutually intelligible. Croatian is written a variation of the Latin alphabet.Vernacular texts in the first appeared in the 13th century. Standardization of the language began in the first half of the 17th century. The modern Neo-Shtokavian standard that appeared in the mid 18th century was the first unified Croatian literary language.
Croatian belongs to the Indo-European family, Slavonic group, South Slavonic subgroup, and is spoken by nearly 5 million people. Today Croatian is written with the Latin alphabet although its sister language, Serbian, uses the Cyrillic script.
