Faced with the negative social, cultural and economic consequences of political language manipulation and current language policies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia and Serbia, we, the undersigned, bring
DECLARATION ON A COMMON LANGUAGE
When asked whether a common language is used in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia and Serbia - the answer is yes.
It is a common standard language of the polycentric type - that is, a language spoken by several peoples in several countries with recognizable variants - such as German, English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Portuguese and many others. This fact is confirmed by Štokavica as the common dialectal basis of the standard language, the ratio of the same versus different in the language and the consequent mutual intelligibility.
The use of four names for the standard variants - Bosnian, Montenegrin, Croatian and Serbian - does not mean that they are also four different languages.
Insistence on the small number of existing differences and the violent separation of the four standard variants leads to a series of negative social, cultural and political phenomena, such as the use of language as an argument for the segregation of children in some multinational environments, unnecessary "translations" in administrative use or the media, inventing differences where they do not exist, bureaucratic coercion, as well as censorship (and necessarily self-censorship), in which language expression is imposed as a criterion of ethno-national affiliation and a means of proving political loyalty.
We, the signatories of this Declaration, believe that the fact of the existence of a common polycentric language does not call into question the individual right to express belonging to different peoples, regions or states;
each state, nation, ethno-national or regional community can freely and independently codify its variant of the common language;
all four currently existing standard variants are equal and one of them cannot be considered a language and the others variants of that language;
polycentric standardization is a democratic form of standardization closest to the actual use of language;
the fact that it is a common polycentric standard language leaves it up to each user to name it as they wish;
between the standard variants of the polycentric language there are differences in linguistic and cultural traditions and practices, the use of letters, vocabulary as well as on other language levels, which can be shown by the different standard variants of the common language in which this Declaration will be published and used;
standard, dialectal and individual differences do not justify violent institutional separation, but on the contrary, contribute to the enormous richness of the common language.
Therefore, we, the signatories of this Declaration, call for the abolition of all forms of linguistic segregation and linguistic discrimination in educational and public institutions;
stopping the repressive, unnecessary and harmful practices of language separation;
cessation of rigid definition of standard variants;
avoiding unnecessary, senseless and expensive "translations" in judicial and administrative practice as well as in the means of public information;
freedom of individual choice and respect for linguistic diversity;
linguistic freedom in literature, art and media;
freedom of dialectal and regional usage;
and, finally, the freedom of "mixing", mutual openness and permeation of different forms and expressions of the common language for the general benefit of all its speakers.

The undersigned participants of the meeting convened by the Editorial Board of the Chronicle of Matica Srpska at the end of the survey on the Serbo-Croatian language and spelling, after the comprehensive discussion held on December 8,9, 10 and 1954, XNUMX in Novi Sad, brought the following
CONCLUSIONS
1) The national language of Serbs, Croats and Montenegrins is one language. Therefore, the literary language that developed on its basis around the two main centers, Belgrade and Zagreb, is unique, with two pronunciations, Ijekavian and Ekavian.
2) In the name of the language, it is always necessary to highlight both of its constituent parts in official use.
3) Both letters, Latin and Cyrillic, are equal; therefore, efforts should be made for Serbs and Croats alike to learn both alphabets, which will be achieved primarily through school teaching.
4) Both pronunciations, Ekavian and Ijekavian, are also equal in everything.
5) In order to utilize the entire dictionary treasure of our language and its proper and full development, it is necessary to create a handy dictionary of the modern Serbo-Croatian literary language. Therefore, we should welcome the initiative of Matica Srpska, which, in union with Matica Croat, started its preparation.
6) The issue of creating a common terminology is also a problem that requires an urgent solution. It is necessary to create terminology for all areas of economic, scientific and generally cultural life.
7) A common language should also have a common spelling. Creating that spelling today is the most important cultural and social need. The draft spelling will be drawn up by agreement of a commission of Serbian and Croatian experts. Before final acceptance, the draft will be submitted for discussion to associations of writers, journalists, educators and other public workers.
8) We should resolutely stand in the way of setting up artificial obstacles to the natural and normal development of the Croatian-Serbian literary language. The harmful phenomenon of arbitrary "translation" of texts should be prevented and the original texts of the writers should be respected.
9) Our three universities (in Belgrade, Zagreb and Sarajevo), two academies (in Zagreb and Belgrade) and Matica srpska in Novi Sad and Matica hrvatska in Zagreb will appoint commissions for drafting spelling and terminology. For the development of terminology, it is necessary to enter into cooperation with federal institutions for legislation and standardization, as well as with professional institutions in societies
10) Matica srpska will submit these conclusions to the Federal Executive Council and executive councils: NR Serbia, NR Croatia, NR Bosnia and Herzegovina, NR Montenegro, universities in Belgrade, Zagreb and Sarajevo, academies in Zagreb and Belgrade and Matica Croatia in Zagreb, and will publish them in daily newspapers and magazines.

Subsequent signatories of the Conclusions of the Novi Sad Agreement:
The meeting of writers and language experts held in Novi Sad on December 8, 9 and 10, 1954 was the logical and necessary conclusion of the survey launched in the Matica Srpska Chronicle.
The conclusions reached at that meeting mean an undoubted contribution to the beginning of a joint solution to the common problems of our language. Therefore, we should welcome the suggestions and proposals presented in the Conclusions, give them full attention and try to implement them. Especially our highest scientific and cultural institutions, mentioned in the Conclusions, should take into serious consideration the issue of solving those problems that are highlighted as urgent and urgent, such as the creation of a unified terminology and a common spelling.

The undersigned, knowing that a nation needs a literature, and seeing with sorrow how our literature is torn apart, not only by letter but also by language and spelling, we met these days to discuss how to for now, more can be done, in literature they have agreed and unitedAnd so we are
Monovowels admitted that it is not appropriate to mix dialects to build a new one that does not exist in the nation, but that it is better to choose one of the more popular dialects to be the literary language; and that's all
a) because it is not possible to write so that everyone could read according to their own dialect;
b) because any mixture like this, like a human work, would be worse than what he likes to say, which are the works of God, and
c) and because other nations, such as The Germans and Italians did not build new dialects from their dialects, but chose one of the more popular ones and wrote books with it.
Monovowels we have admitted that the truest and best way to receive the southern dialect is to be literary; and that
a) because most people say so,
b) which is the closest to the old Slavic language and therefore to all other Slavic languages,
c) that almost all folk songs were sung in it,
d) that all old Dubrovnik literature is written in it,
e) the majority of writers of Eastern and Western religious law already write like that (only that not everyone pays attention to all the rules). Accordingly, we agreed that in those places where, according to this dialect, there are two syllables (syllables), ije should be written, and where there is one syllable, it should be written either e or i, as appropriate, e.g. white, whiteness, net, brought. And so that everyone could find out more easily where there are two syllables, where one, and where they should be written, where they should be written, where they should write i - we all asked Mr. Vuk Stefanović-Karadžić to write down the main rules, which are attached here.
If anyone, for whatever reason, does not want to write in this dialect, we think that it would be most beneficial for the nation and for literary unity to write in one of the other two national dialects, whichever one he likes, but as long as he does not mix and build them a language that the people do not have.
We found it good and necessary that the writers of the Eastern religious law write h wherever it has a place according to etymology, as in the old Slavic language, as those of the Western law write h, as our people of both religious laws speak in many places in the southern regions.
We all admitted that more individual names end up in a genus. plural it should not be written because there is no place for it either according to etymology, or according to the general vernacular, or according to the rest of today's Slavic languages. We warned each other that there will be writers who will say that this h should be written only because this case is different from the others, or finally that because of this difference, some other sign should be written instead of h.
But one is because in many words this case is inherently different (e.g. countries, fathers, cubits, merchants, etc.), and the other is that we have other cases that are more equal, so we do not distinguish between them in writing, and things like this there are many in other nations as well - we all agreed that neither h nor any other sign should be written in the mentioned place, except only when it would not be possible to understand from the meaning that the word stands for a genus. pl. to indicate the accents (which we will have to do in other similar events as well).
We all unanimously agreed that neither a nor e should be written before r, where it is a syllable by itself, but only r should stand (e.g. finger) and that
a) because the people say so,
b) that the writers of Eastern religious law all write like that (except for one or two),
c) because the Czechs also write like that,
d) that many Slavic books are also written in Glagolitic letters,
e) which proves that even in the old Slavic language it was not necessary to write jerova in places like this, neither with r nor with l, because both of these letters were vowels in places like this, just like in Sanskrit.
So we are done with this for now. If, God willing, these thoughts of ours are accepted by the people, we are convinced that the great obstacles to our literature will be removed from the path and that it will come much closer to true unity.
That's why we ask all writers, who just want happiness and progress for their people, to agree to these thoughts of ours and write their works based on them.
