ISO 639 Code: bos

ISO 639-1:bs
ISO 639-2:  bos
English: Bosnian
French: bosniaque

The code bos is classified in ISO 639 as an individual language code.

We have mapped this code to Serbo-Croatian [SRC]. It has not yet been determined that Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian should be reckoned as distinct languages in the Ethnologue. They are considered distinct in ISO 639-x, however. Thus, the single Ethnologue entry is covered by multiple ISO codes: [bs] / [bos], [hr] / [scr] / [hrv] and [sr] / [srp] / [scc].

This code corresponds to the following language in the Ethnologue:

SERBO-CROATIAN
