Acknowledgements

Many thanks to my friends and colleagues at University College,Northampton, who relieved me of teaching for a term so that I was ableto get this book properly started. John McDonald very kindly offered toread the final draft for me, and I am indebted to him for his comments.I am also glad to have this chance, however belated, of thanking StaneSaksida and Veljko Rus in Ljubljana, Dragoljub Kavran in Belgrade,Dimitar Mircev in Skopje and Mustafa Imamoviç in Sarajevo, for theirkindness and hospitality during my travels around (the former)Yugoslavia. My years there now seem to belong to another existencealtogether, but memories of (former) family and old friends still tug, andthe book’s dedication is intended to embrace them all. These personaldebts of gratitude are a cheering reminder of other Balkan realities.

I am extremely grateful to the Librarians at the School of Slavonic andEast European Studies, University of London, for permission to use theiroutstanding collection.

Maps are an important part of the book. Maps 1–7 are based on mapsin Jugoslavia, volume II, published by the Naval Intelligence Division,1944. These maps are out of copyright, but I should like to express myappreciation of the cartographic skills of Miss K.S.A. Froggatt, Miss M.Garside, Mrs Marion Plant and Mrs Gwen Raverat. They have beenredrawn by Peter Cory. The original titles of the maps have beenretained.

Map 8 is based on the map in F. Singleton, A Short History of theYugoslav Peoples, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985 (Fig. 4),reproduced by kind permission.

Maps 9, 10 and 11 are based on maps in John B. Allcock, MarkoMilivojeviç and John J. Horton (eds), Conflict in the Former Yugoslavia:An Encyclopedia, published by ABC-CLIO: Denver, CO; Santa Barbara,CA; Oxford, 1998 (map 1, p. xxii; map 3, p. xxv; map 9, p. xxxi),reproduced by kind permission.

Linda Nicol of Cambridge University Press was most helpful inresponse to my several enquiries, and gave permission to reproduce Map8. Dr Robert Neville of ABC-CLIO and Mrs J.M. Braithwaite of theUniversity of Bradford very generously allowed me to reproduce Maps9, 10 and 11.

My IT skills were frequently not up to the demands of modernpublishing methods, but David Benson plugged the worst gaps, withpatience and aplomb. Many thanks to Luciana O’Flaherty at PalgravePublishers, and to Ray Addicott of Chase Publishing Services, for theirhelp in getting the book in shape for publication. My wife Anne Mariewas at the heart of everything.

Notes on Serbo-Croatian Language

Croatian and Serbian are nowadays the national languages of twosovereign states, but linguistically they are one, created by politicaldesign during the nineteenth century (see Chapter 1). The South Slavsspoke three major dialects of a common tongue: stokavian, cakavian andkajkavian, terms derived from the variant interrogative pronoun (sto?,ca? and kaj?) meaning ‘what’? The Vienna Agreement of 1850 betweenSerb and Croat scholars adopted the stokavian dialect as the foundationof a common Serbo-Croatian language with two separate but equalvarieties, which became the standard language of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Montenegro. This speech community is bounded tothe north-west by Slovenia, where the kajkavian dialect forms the basisof the modern standard language, and to the south-east by Macedonia,where the national language of the Slav inhabitants is close kin tostandard Bulgarian. The cakavian dialect now survives only as anattenuated vernacular in the remoter island regions of Dalmatia.

Apart from the aesthetically and politically very sensitive question ofthe two different alphabets, the differences between the Serbian andCroatian varieties are linguistically quite minor. The main one is the wayin which they signal the varying quantity (long or short) of the letter e.Thus, for example, the ‘ekavian’ (eastern/Serbian) and ‘ijekavian’(western/Croatian) variants of the word ‘river’ are ‘reka’ and ‘rijeka’. The‘ekavian’ form is normally written in Cyrillic script, but can be translit-erated exactly using the modified Latin alphabet adopted in Croatianorthography.

Serbo-Croatian is completely regular in pronunciation, and there areno silent letters. Eight Serbo-Croatian consonants do not feature inEnglish, and four consonants appear identical but are pronounceddifferently. They are:

c ch in ‘church’ç t in ‘mixture’dz j in ‘jam’dj d in ‘duke’s sh in ‘shoe’z s in ‘treasure’

x

Page 11: Yugoslavia: A Concise History - Springer978-1-4039-1383-8/1.pdf · An Encyclopedia, published by ABC-CLIO: ... Communist-led resistance fighters during World War II. ... A Concise

lj ll in ‘million’nj n in ‘new’c ts in ‘Tsar’h ch in Scots-English ‘loch’j y in ‘yet’r r in Scots-English ‘person’, always sounded

Of the remaining consonants it need only be pointed out that g is alwayshard (as in ‘gag’), and so is s (as in ‘sack’). The English letters w, x and yare absent. The vowels in Serbo-Croatian are sounded as follows:

a a in ‘father’e e in ‘pet’i i in ‘machine’o o in ‘hot’u u in ‘rule’
