[edit] Molise Slavic
Molise Slavic is really the only name for this microlanguage I had ever heard, but never mind. I saw that the Wikipedia community had chosen to use Molise Croatian dialect as the name for the article and to have Molise Slavic language redirect there. But this "Croatian dialect" is nowhere mentioned in the whole article Croatian language, so it has to be mentioned in this template. However, the template lists languages, not dialects. Consequently, if the template treated Molise Slavic as a Croatian dialect, then it could nowhere be found, not even via Croatian language. Therefore please either treat Molise Slavic in the article Croatian language or let us use the name Molise Slavic at least in the template (as non-Croatian scholars like Aleksandr Duličenko or Peter Rehder usually do). --Daniel Bunčić 17:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- The article should really be called Molise Slavic or Molise Slavic language, but Croatian Wikipedians would have us think otherwise. - FrancisTyers · 18:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

- I changed "Molise Slavic" to "Molise Croatian". I just applied the name of the page itself, just like it's case with other 36 links in the template. --Ante Perkovic 09:51, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
You're right, the question how to call that speech form should really be going on on Talk:Molise Croatian dialect. The main thing here is not to have dialect in the name, as we don't have language in other names, either. Thanks! --Daniel Bunčić 14:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bosnian vs. Bosniac
Oh, please. That discussion is definitely decided. Bosnian is both the official name of that language (if it is a language; in my personal opinion it isn't, but that's not the question here) according to the Dayton Agreement and the constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the most common one in English. See the long discussion at Talk:Bosnian language#Naming. --Daniel Bunčić 17:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Montenegrin disputed
Many "languages" here beside Montenegrin are disputed (Bosnian, Bunjevac, even Croatian), as there are not only true languages listed here, but dialects as well (Old Novgorod dialect, Banat Bulgarian). Therefore, it is not neccessary to mention that Montenegrin is disputed as a separate language. This template is a list of many Slavonic languages, dialects, and speeches. --Djordje D.
