Language differences

In the former Yugoslavia a largish number of translations have appeared under the name Mali Princ. The language of these translations (Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Montenegrin) is not really different. Slovenian differs a bit more.

Earlier, one would call Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Montenegrin variants of Serbo-Croatian. Today the use of "Serbo-Croatian" seems politically incorrect.

Serbian is often written with the Cyrillic alphabet, the others usually with the Latin alphabet.

A few differences:
(i) The word for "child" used in the dedication. Or "here" (in: here, under the apple tree). Or "where" (in: where are the people?): Bosnian and Croatian have dje.
(ii) The word for "what" (in: wait for what?): Croatian has što instead of šta.
(iii) The word for "planet" (in: the 7th planet was the Earth): Croatian has a masc. form.
