The official languages of Yugoslavia were Serbo-Croatian, Slovene and Macedonian. The languages were all South Slavic, so people from different areas could understand each other. Most of the population spoke Serbo-Croatian also called Serbo-Croat. IliasPapawiki (talk) 15:42, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you're suggesting adding Macedonian and Slovene to the infobox, it's important to note these were official only within republics of Macedonia and Slovenia, and this article is about Yugoslavia as a whole. –Vipz (talk) 08:53, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you search about Yugoslavia, you will find that this country was made from SR Slovenia, SR Serbia, SR Macedonia, SR Croatia, SR Bosnia and SR Montenegro as a socialistic countries. Every citizen of Yugoslavia have had rights to use all the languages of each country as official in that country, and official as a language of SR Yugoslavia. As Official languages of this country, wherever you search about it, you will find that were Serbo-Croatian as most used, and other official languages as Macedonian and Slovenian.
I don't trust any reference from "homework.study.com". I will do some research and hopefully find better sources, but at a brief glance: I'm not convinced this should be in the infobox, but there should certainly be at least one additional paragraph explaining the use of languages other than Serbo-Croatian in Yugoslavia.

@David.Jordanoski: Perhaps, but this is English Wikipedia and we're not supposed to talk in languages other than English. :-) Great to meet a fellow Yugo though (even though this is nothing unusual since people watchlist articles on countries/regions they live in). –Vipz (talk) 19:03, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm so sick and tired of seeing this Americanized. The "J" in Serbian is pronounced like a "Y" - but it's STILL SPELLED JUGOSLAVIA!! We don't Americanize Jalapeno? Do YOU EVER see it spelled Halapeno?? NO! And if Americans can pronounce Jalapeno knowing the "J" sounds like an "H" then they can finally handle JUGOSLAVIA!!!!!!! 2600:1700:7DCA:72A0:2910:8508:4F98:BAFA (talk) 20:32, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would be interesting to research and add to the article who and when standardized the international spelling "Yugoslavia" but that is beside the point of this complaint. Yugoslavia is the common English spelling of the country's name since at least mid-1950s. –Vipz (talk) 17:07, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
