Summary/Abstract: Two societies use Standard Croatian as a means for communication. In Croatia itself, Standard Croatian is the official language. In B&H it is the language of Croatian people, one of the constitutive peoples of that republic. The author urges both nations to retain a unique standard language because it is crucial for Croatian identity. Since Croats live in different states and under different circumstances there is a danger of divisions, first linguistic then ethnic.
