The peak of the Croatian part of the Yugoslav wars was over with the 1992 ceasefire.

My friend started chatting to him (in English) and asked him for a few words in Croatian (no more than about a dozen) then was able to start speaking to him in Croatian.

In short, the Croatian government and their finance ministers/advisers probably aren't stupid.

It's similar to how Croatian adopted mostly English words for computer hardware, and the attempt by the government to push Slavic-rooted replacements ended up sounding silly.

If I was a Croatian lender, I would immediately stop lending to the poor.

Four years ago, Croatian government subsidised loans for buying properties.

In Croatia, it's "Croatian" and it is also a separate language locally despite being almost entirely mutually intelligible with speakers of the Serbian form.

The department she was studying it in called it "BCS" (for Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian); she eventually just took to calling it "Bosnifuckit".

In Croatian "Quicksilver" is called "Živa", which also means "alive".

To your "dialect with an army and a navy" point, don't forget that in the US a language is taught called "Serbo-Croatian." In Serbia, it's "Serbian" and is its own language.

Where the UK/US split can create a figurative minefield of idiomatic confusion, the Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian split has created literal minefields.

Dear author: webhostinggeeks did not actually translate your article into Serbo-Croatian for free.

I would theorize that second used slavic language is not Ukrainian but Serbo-Croatian, at risk of getting hated by everybody mentioned.
