There appears to be a common misconception that if you are taught and you learn to speak the standardised Serbo-Croatian language that you have historical connections to an ethnic group. This is not necessarily factual as many other ethnic groups, with various ethnic backgrounds, were caught up in this system of standardisation through being forced to speak a ''common language'' (Serbo-Croatian). This does not necessarily directly related to the actual ancestry and ethnic history of the speaker.
