Additional details
Although often informally called Bosnia, Bosnia and Herzegovina are not two separate countries but rather, two autonomous entities. Geographically, Bosnia makes up the larger northern region while Herzegovina makes up the smaller southern region.
The political map is drawn differently: the Bosnian entity, called the Bosnian Serb Republic, is located in the north, south and southwestern parts of the country. The Herzegovinian entity, called the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is located in the central and northwestern parts of the country. These entities reflect ethnic divisions between Serbs and Croats.
Bosnia Herzegovina is in the Balkan region of southern Europe.
Countries in the Balkan region that are nearby Bosnia and Herzegovina include Albania, Northern Macedonia, Serbia (adjacent to its east), Croatia (adjacent to its north), Bulgaria, Kosovo, Slovenia, Montenegro (adjacent to its south), and Romania.
Similar to regions of the United States there is no widespread agreement on which countries make up the Balkan region and sometimes parts of Turkey and Greece are included. Further complicating designation is that in most recent times the terms Southeastern or Southeast are becoming more common, perhaps because of the political and ethnic upheaval often associated with the Balkan region.
There are three southern peninsulas in Europe. From west to east they are the Iberian Peninsula of Spain and Portugal; the Italian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula.
The language spoken in Bosnia Herzegovina reflects ethnic, political, religious, geographic, and historic ties as well as no standardization. Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian are the three primary languages, also termed Serbo-Croatian.
In recent years, the term has come to include the Bosnian and Montenegrin languages. While similar and not a hindrance to communication between groups, all are separate languages with their own dialects.
Is English spoken in Bosnia Herzegovina? Many do speak English that’s quite good, especially younger generation Bosnians. As always when traveling to a country with a language different than your own, learning common words and phrases can enrich your experience - and that of your hosts, too.
