  Are there other examples in the world where a country splintered off another (by force as in this case, or otherwise), and they're calling their (same) language by a different name, or was this unique?

    You mean, aside from Czechoslovakia? A long time ago they were one ethnic group, but "Historically, the region now known as Czech Republic was once part of the Austrian empire whereas the Slovak area was a part of the Kingdom of Hungary" and so they kept different accents and slightly different vocabulary. They were separate for a long time, then tried to unify after WWI, but they've since split up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech%E2%80%93Slovak_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech%E2%80%93Slovak_languages The languages of Thailand, Laos, and parts of southern China used to be the same about 1500 years ago.

    With Serbo-Croatian, Croatian uses the Latin alphabet and Serbian the Cyrillic alphabet. Also, I think Hindi-Urdu qualifies. Thinking more, there was maybe Hopi-Navajo.
