The article currently says that there was no official language at the federal level. However, according to the 1974 constitution (article 246), "in Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia the languages of nations are in official use and, in accordance with this Constitution and constitutional laws, also the languages of national minorities." See the Constitution in Croatian here: https://hr.wikisource.org/Ustav_Socijalisti%C4%8Dke_Federativne_Republike_Jugoslavije_%281974.%29

See the Constitution in Croatian here: https://hr.wikisource.org/Ustav_Socijalisti%C4%8Dke_Federativne_Republike_Jugoslavije_%281974.%29 I personally read this quite clearly as saying that Serbo-Croatian (Croatian or Serbian), Macedonian and Slovene languages were official at the federal level.
Also, Serbian and Croatian are listed as regional languages, among others. However, none of the constitutions of the Yugoslav republics mentioned them, it was always named Serbo-Croatian, Croato-Serbian or, in case of Croatian Constitution, "Croatian or Serbian." Therefore I find this incorrect as well.
To me, it is therefore quite clear that Serbo-Croatian (Croatian or Serbian), Macedonian and Slovene languages were official at the federal level.

The aftermath section really simply highlights of the worst things that happened after SFRY ceased to exist. As such it is off topic and edit-war magnet to boot. As these events are covered elsewhere I propose they be cut.
This appears to be a POV fork on the basis that this "Provisional Government" was not the same as the SFRY, the state appears to be the same as the SFRY just with an earlier title.--184.145.74.119 (talk) 16:44, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
The Provisional Government of the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia was a national unity government formed on the basis of the 1944 Treaty of Vis which sought to fix the issue of parallel governments of Yugoslavia, namely the Yugoslav government-in-exile (recognized by the Allies but with little de facto authority in the occupied country) and the communist-led National Committee for the Liberation of Yugoslavia (which was never recognized as having sovereignty over the occupied country but which had some authority on the ground, i.e. the parts of it liberated by the Yugoslav Partisans). The de facto authority of communists was only legalised (i.e. became de iure) in the November 1945 election (the result of which was contested by non-communist opposition, but it nevertheless became fact). Of course, communist historiography always claimed continuity in retrospect back to 1943, completely ignoring the Yugoslav government-in-exile and the issue of international recognition, simply choosing the date when Partisans declared themselves as executive authority over the entire territory. So no, the provisional government is not the same thing as SFR Yugoslavia, and claiming otherwise would only be possible by relying on communist, not exactly reliable, sources.
