It is my belief that the Croatian and Serbian labels started off as terms to assert political elitism. This political frame work for elitism later with time became established as ethnic identities. This is sometimes referred to as a ''Constructed Identity''.

Since we can’t distinguish Croatians from Serbians through the examination of DNA it seems that if there were any tribal divisions between Slavs in the Western Balkan region it would have to be in the area of language. This division is based on the principle of the existence of historical language markers left from the past that are present today (or another way of putting it “echoes from the past”).

The Slavic groups arrived as:
The main Slavic groups arrived as:
* Tribes that spoke Old Chakavian Slav. This group mark the beginnings of the Croatian language.
* Tribes that spoke Old Chakavian Slav. This group mark the beginnings of the Croatian language.
* Certain Slavic groups (that were physically close to each other) later started to integrate as one and created a third group: Chakavian-Shokavian Slav mix.

Chakavian Slavs settled in today’s Dalmatian Hinterland and the Shokavian Slavs settled in today’s Kosovo. Later they started to interact and integrate with the inhabitants of the region that were there prior to their arrival. This being mainly the Romans and others (i.e. Illyrians, Liburnians, Greeks).

The third group was later heavily influenced by historical events of the Ottoman invasion (the Turks defeated the Serbian army in 1371). These group of peoples started migrating west as well as Shokavian Slavs (certain Shokavian Slavs groups started identify themselves as Serbs now). These late medieval migrations laid down some of the language dialects in the Western Balkans that we have today. An example of this is evident in today's modern region of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the old Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) where the Slavic people within these regions became predominately Slavic Shokavian speakers.

It was in this historical environment that the standardise language arrived (Serbo-Croatian) or it could be said '''enforced''' by governments. Thanks to the old Yugoslav and Austro-Hungarian education system communities now in the region started be influenced by standardise language. It is interesting that the issue of certain ''Croatian Dialects'' how little is mention of the non Slavic words that are present in there vocabulary i.e. Korcula Dialects.
