Croatian language
Standard Croatian is the official language of the Republic of Croatia and, along with Standard Bosnian and Standard Serbian, one of three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is also official in the regions of Burgenland (Austria), Molise (Italy) and Vojvodina (Serbia). Additionally, it has co-official status alongside Romanian in the communes of Carașova and Lupac, Romania. In these localities, Croats or Krashovani make up the majority of the population, and education, signage and access to public administration and the justice system are provided in Croatian, alongside Romanian.
Bartol Kašić
Kašić called the language used in "Ritual rimski" as "naški" ("our language") or "bosanski" ("Bosnian"). He used the term "Bosnian" even though he was born in a Chakavian region: instead he decided to adopt a "common language" ("lingua communis"), a version of Shtokavian Ikavian, spoken by the majority the speakers of Serbo-Croatian. He used the terms "dubrovački" (from Dubrovnik) for the Ijekavian version used in his Bible, and "dalmatinski" (Dalmatian) for the Chakavian version.In Croatian:
