For instance, a diachronical difference is the structure of declension, or the now extinct third future tense that is equal to the future in Russian (but non-existent in Serbian). Synchronically, the number of Croatian vowels differ from the number in Serbian or Bosnian, and the morphology prescriptions are also different.
