Abstract

This paper discusses the meaning and uses of the term „Central South Slavonic“, coined by Dalibor Brozović. It is argued that that term should be used as a cover term for a group of converging South Slavic dialects, but not as a putative branch on the genealogical tree of the Slavic languages. The relationship between different standard languages in the Central South Slavic area is compared to the relationship between Hindi and Urdu, but important differences are also highlighted.
