contradiction
 The languages have not undergone the deliberate highlighting of minor linguistic differences in the name of nationalism as has occurred in the Bosnian , Serbian and Croatian standards of Serbo @-@ Croatian . However , most Slavic languages ( including Czech ) have been distanced in this way from Russian influences because of widespread public resentment against the former Soviet Union ( which occupied Czechoslovakia in 1968 ) . Czech and Slovak form a dialect continuum , with great similarity between neighboring Czech and Slovak dialects . ( See " Dialects " below . ) 

contradiction
 Croatian replaced Latin as the official language of the Croatian government in 1847 . It is a South Slavic language , and most Croatian vocabulary is derived from the Slavic branch of the Indo @-@ European language family . Croatian is written using the Latin alphabet and has three major dialects , with Shtokavian dialect used as the standard Croatian , and Chakavian and Kajkavian dialects distinguished by their lexicon , phonology , and syntax . 

contradiction
 From 1961 to 1991 , the official language was Serbo @-@ Croatian . Even during socialist rule , Croats often referred to their language as Croato @-@ Serbian ( instead of Serbo @-@ Croatian ) or as Croatian . Croatian and Serbian variants of the language were not officially recognised as different at the time , but referred to as the west and east version , and had different alphabets : the Latin alphabet and Serbian Cyrillic . Croatians are protective of their Croatian language from foreign influences , as the language was under constant change and threats imposed by previous rulers ( i.e. Austrian German , Hungarian , Italian and Turkish words were changed and altered to " Slavic " looking / sounding ones ) . Efforts made to impose policies to alter Croatian into " Serbo @-@ Croatian " or " South Slavic " language , met resistance from Croats in form of Croatian linguistic purism . Croatian replaced Latin as the official language of the Croatian government in the 19th century . 

contradiction
 Croatian is the official language of Croatia , and became the 24th official language of the European Union upon its accession in 2013 . Minority languages are in official use in local government units where more than a third of population consists of national minorities or where local legislation defines so . Those languages are Czech , Hungarian , Italian , Ruthenian , Serbian and Slovakian .
