I know of no such term. Where would Serbo-Croatian fit, anyway? It's
written in both latin and cyrillic character sets.

"The Serbo-Croatian language or Croato-Serbian language
(srpskohrvatski jezik or hrvatskosrpski jezik, Cyrillic script:
српскохрватски језик or хрватскосрпски језик) is a South Slavic
language or diasystem."
