The question of use (adaptation) of these terms (in Serbian) is very significant from the perspective of sports and standardization of Serbian sports registry, as well as from the perspective of linguistics in general and standardization of the Serbian language as a whole. The aim of this paper is to consider the specific sports and linguistic issues and analyze certain examples in order to point out how we should treat these terms.
