When the Serbian forces were annihilated in the ''Battle of Kosovo'' by the [[Directory:Turkey|Ottoman Empire]] in '''1389''' a large group of peoples stated to migrate westward. The Western Balkans started to acquire new people in its region (i.e., Croatians, Serbs, Albanians, Greeks, Turks & others), thus creating new ethnic mixes. The Ottomans themselves got to Vienna itself. During the 15th and 16 centuries the old Slavic tribal borders changed forever. In the 19th century language standardisation entered in the mix (lets not forget Latin, Romance Dalmatian Old Venetian, [Hungary|Hungarians (Magyars)]] & Turkish).
The ''politics of language standardisation'' is the issue at heart here. The question should be ask did the 19th century scholars do their job properly or was it all about the politics of the future super 19 century Southern Slavic State.

Other important question to ask is how far back does one go in proclaiming Croatian nationhood? In the past the Yugoslav Communist party, Pan-Slavists and the Croatian Nationalistic movements have taken this to extremes. These Pan-Slaviic, Nationalistic and Communist ideologies have created so much pain, destruction and falsehoods by clinging to these false beliefs. For example does a seventh generation Australian with British background start saying in modern Australia that he is a Saxon and starts a nationalistic movement to assert his beliefs upon others.
