Summary/Abstract: The article presents a thesis that: in case the origin of the authentic Slavonic literary languages in the19th century was motivated by national-identifying function, the origin of the authentic Slavonic languages in the 20th century was motivated first by state-integrating function. This thesis is proved by the origin of standard Macedonian language in the way of disjunction of standard Croatian from standard Serbocroatian as well as contemporary development of Bosnian standard language.
