[quoteost_uid0="taya17"][color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Nic Corelli"]Actually, Serbian and Croatian are two languages, very similar ones... however, from 1945 to 1991 they were, due to political reasons, officially referred to as one language, Serbo-Croatian. In 1991, they went back to being two languages.[/quoteost_uid0]

I'm guessing that it's the same thing with Mandarin and its dialects: many languages, all similar, but Chinese is the 'official' language of China, sort of...[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]Something like that, I guess...

By the way, do you know that Mira Furlan, B5 actress from your avatar, is Croatian? [/colorost_uid0]
