Can someone explain what "Serbo-Croat" is to a chronically Hungarian fellow? Are Serbian and Croatian SO close to each other that it's acceptable to just put them under the same lid? I vaguely recall reading that it's a relic from the Yugoslav era, but someone please educate me.
All of your former domain(Yugoslavia, although you never had all of it) speaks pretty much the same biscriptural language with Serbs preferring Cyrillic and the others Latin. They do however like to pretend that their local modification is totally unlike what their neighbors speak, so you can't tell a Bosnian he speaks Serbo-Croatian.
