Croatian (hrvatski jezik) is a standardized register of the Serbo-Croatian language used by Croats, principally in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian province of Vojvodina and other neighbouring countries. It is the official and literary language of Croatia and one of the official languages of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and neighboring countries. Standard Croatian is based on the most widespread dialect of Serbo-Croatian, Shtokavian, more specifically on Eastern Herzegovinian, which is also the basis of Standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin. The other Serbo-Croatian dialects spoken by Croats are Chakavian, Kajkavian, and Torlakian. These four dialects, and the four national standards, are usually subsumed under the term Serbo-Croatian in English, though this term is controversial for native speakers and paraphrases such as Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian are therefore sometimes used instead, especially in diplomatic circles. Standardization began in the period sometimes called Baroque Slavism in the first half of the 17th century, while some authors date it back to the end of 15th century. The modern Neo-Shtokavian standard that appeared in the mid 18th century was the first unified Croatian literary language. Croatian is written in Gaj's Latin alphabet.
