You are terribly wrong & uninformed. There's lot of literature on this 
issues. What You've probably seen in linguistic compendiums are opinions 
influenced by politics. For example: I notice that You are using reflex 
of old church-slavic (or should I state slavonic) jat : i ije/je e as a 
basis for distinguishing SE slavic languages and dialects. But it's an 
arbitrary distinction which served certain theories. There is a lot of 
differences in other morphological elements, in syntax, in prosody, and 
last but not least in lexicon. You don't want me started on this. Please 
read carefully what Hrvoje wrote and do not annoy us. Your robot is good 
enough for that. Wish You and all the fine translators good work and 
happy life.
