Talk:Serbo-Croatian kinship

This article is in need of a clean-up
This article is a dog's breakfast. It confuses and mixes up the colloquial and literary terms, the obselete and current terms and the terms used in the 4 literary standards.

For example, the annotation states that "bijela pčela" seems to imply that this term is used by Croatians. While in all probability it was used by Serbs, in the form "бела пчела" and is more thank likely obsolete. Terms such as nono, dida and did are all Croatian dialectal forms for the literary word "djed". There is no point or sense in enumerating oall the dialectal and colloquial forms. It's a bit like saying English has all these various terms for "grandfather": "Gramps, Pop, Grandpa, Grampa, Grampy, Opa..." Finally, "dedin ili babin unuk iz prvog braka babinom drugom" should be removed, as they do not represent any kinship term, but they are merely a description.

This article in its current form only causes confusion to English speakers - remember this is the English language Wikipedia. More work is needed to explain usage of the terms, and to disambiguate the terms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.149.192.135 (talk) 05:57, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
