According to Wikipedia: "Croatian (hrvatski jezik) is the Serbo-Croatian language as spoken by Croats, principally in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian province of Vojvodina and other neighboring countries; or, more specifically, a standardized register of Serbo-Croatian used as an official and literary language of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and neighboring countries.
