Summary/Abstract: The analysis consists of three parts. The first part gives a vision of order and chaos, the second part deals with the standardization as a struggle with the chaos, and the third part analyzes standardological order and chaos within the Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin language. This paper discusses one sociolinguistic process (standardization of a language) in two contrasting states (order and chaos) which potentially include all physical, chemical, social, even language processes. By standardization it is to consider the linguistic and legal regulation of the use of language.
