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 particular ethnic group. This is not necessarily factual as many other ethnic groups, with various ethnic backgrounds, that 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.

In the past the Yugoslav Communist party, Pan-Slavists and the Croatian Nationalistic movements have taken this to extremes.
