Eastern Herzegovinian (yellow) is the most widespread Shtokavian dialect, though it is not native to the capitals of any of the five republics where it is official. The map represents the extent of Eastern Herzegovinian according to Pavle Ivić, with the addition of a small community in Slovenia.

The Eastern Herzegovinian dialect (/ˌhɛərtsəɡəˈvniən, ˌhɜːr-, -ɡ-, -ˈvɪn-/,[1][2] Serbo-Croatian: istočnohercegovački dijalekt / источнохерцеговачки дијалект) is the most widespread subdialect of the Shtokavian supradialect or language, both by territory and the number of speakers. It is the dialectal basis for all modern literary Serbo-Croatian standards: Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin (the latter only partially codified).
