Linguistic Situation in Balkan Region
- Category: Reference and Education » Language
| - Free Articles
Serbia and Montenegro gained the public title of the country as of February 4, 2003, as a result of the evolution of restructuring the country formerly known as The SFRY. Serbia and Montenegro is the biggest descendant of the former SFRY and made up of two states: Serbia and Montenegro.
Within Serbia, there are two autonomous regions, Vojvodina and Kosovo. Kosovo was under the supervision of the United Nations since 1999. Language politics and manipulations of time, official standards and names of different tongues took an important role in the number of intra-national conflicts that happened from 1990 to 1999 and it is yet a super sensitive issue in the total area of the peninsula.

The official tongue of the Republic of Serbia is Serbian (with over 6 000 000 speakers in the area of Serbia aside from Kosovo, or 88% of the population); the same judicial status is allowed to both the Cyrillic and the Roman alphabet, but the latest is favored for Serbian state administration. Minority languages, which are also in governmental disposal in the regions where they are spoken, are Hungarian (in line with the 2002 census data of the Statistical Institute of the Republic of Serbia, approximated at 286 500 natives), Bosnian (134 500 speakers), Romanian (82 000 speakers), Albanian (63 500 citizens), Slovakian (57 500 speakers), Valachian (55 000 speakers), Romanian (34 500 speakers), Croatian (27 500 speakers), Bulgarian (16 500 speakers), and Macedonian (14 500 speakers). Minority tongues are used at every stages of upbringing: in early schools, high schools, and at colleges and academies. One linguistic effect of the political and ethnic processes of the last decade of XX century is that the language that used to be officially called Serbo-Croat has received a number of new nationally and politically grounded names. Thus, the names Serbo-Croat, Bosnian are politically engaged and refer to the same language with possible few variations. The language has two general dialects, Ekavian and Ijekavian.
But, in general, Ekavian is spoken more in Serbia (and parts of Croatia), and Ijekavian is spoken to the large extent in Montenegro (and also in Bosnia, Herzegovina, and parts of Croatia), these variations do not coincide with the ethnically based names.
The language map in Kosovo is less clear now, as about 300 000 refugees from this region, predominantly Serbs, are still on the stage of returning to their places. This fact makes the figures of speakers reported unreliable. These days, according to the Statistical Office of Kosovo, about 1 670 000, or 88% of the inhabitants of Kosovo, speak Albanian, and about 133 000, or 7%, are speakers of Serbian. The rest of the population (5%) speaks mostly Polish, Serbian, Slovak.
The title language of the Republic of Montenegro is Serbian, but there are modern developments to introduce the term Montenegrin, either parallel to or instead of the name Serbian. Just as with Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian, this term refers to the one language that used to be called Serbo-Croat, and is rather a subject of political resolutions and convictions.
The Cyrillic and the Roman alphabet are officially in use. The 2003 census data from the Statistical Institute of the Republic of Montenegro show that about 401 500, or 60% of the citizens of Montenegro, declare themselves as speakers of Serbian, about 145 000 (22%) speak Montenegrin, nearly 49 500 (7%) speak Albanian, 29 000 (4%) are speakers of Bosnian, and about 3000 speak other languages.
