=====Politics of Language Standardisation, Nationalistic and Communist Ideologies =====
The ''politics'' of language standardisation is the issue at heart when it comes to the telling the story of Southern Slav languages  In the 19th century Slavic language standardisation entered into the mix.<ref>Other languages commonly used in the region included, Romance Dalmatian, Old Venetian, [[Hungary|Hungarians (Magyars)]] and written [[Latin]].</ref>  The question should be asked. Did the 19th century scholars and linguist do their research scientifically or were they seriously influenced by the politics of the future 19 century super Southern Slavic State.

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  standardised language'' (Serbo-Croatian). This does not necessarily directly related to the actual ancestry and ethnic history of the speaker.
