::I don't really care what it is called. The fact is that it is most commonly called Serbo-Croatian in English. In Yugoslavia both Serbo-Croatian and Croato-Serbian were used, but this usage doesn't seem to have extended to other languages. But I don't think that the order is really a problem - there are great many things that are called after two countries or peoples and one has to come first. I think it's usually decided by what sounds more natural as a word in English. Thus Franco-German relations, not Germano-French. OTOH, if another term comes into general English use, I'd be happy to use it - the current term is at least wrong for excluding Bosniaks and Montenegrins.

::: Yep, we'd all want a decent, fair solution, but there isn't one. So we're stuck with things named after a couple of largely inconsequent [[Alans|Alan tribes]], plus a myriad of rationalizations and explanations. Such is life :) --[[User:Joy|Joy <small><small>&#91;shallot&#93;</small></small>]] 10:56, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
