Serbocroatian (Srpskohrvatski)

There are several translations into Serbocroatian, Serbian and Croatian, which are from a linguistical point of view all dialects of one single language - published in former Yugoslavia and its successors.
I'm listing all translations published in former Yugoslavia under Serbocroatian and all more recent editions under Croatian respectively Serbian, depending on the country of publication. For detailed information on Serbocroatian/Serbian/Croation please ask Wikipedia.

The Serbocroatian editions are mostly written in the Ekavski dialect, but there are also two titles in Ijekavski.

Introduction text

Pedesetih godina pre nove ere legije velikog rimskog državnika i vojskovođe Gaja Julija Cezara osvojile su prostrane teritorije Galije i došle na domak Galovijuma, poslednjeg galskog uporišta. Žitelji ovog malog naselja pružili su žilav i uspešan otpor rimskim osvajačima, zahvaljujući u prvom redu svojim junacima Asteriksu i Obeliksu.
Asteriks, kočoperni momak blistavog uma i živahnog duha, ponos galskog naroda, pred kojim su silni rimski legionari redovno polagali oružje; koji je svoju nadljudsku snagu dugovao čarobnom napitku druida Aspiriniksa i snagator Obeliks, što je, čekajući čarke sa osvajačima, nosao stećke, junaci su naše strip-priče...

The first time an Asterix story was published in Yugoslavia was on October 9th, 1966 - serialized in Експрес Недељна Ревија (Ekspres Nedeljna Revija - Express Sunday Review) - one page every sunday. It was a translation of [6] Asterix and Cleopatra in cyrillic script.
