Croatian speakers in New York are concentrated in Astoria and Ridgewood in Queens, with communities in parts of Westchester.

Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian and Montenegrin are closely related and mutually intelligible in speech, but they are treated as distinct languages and the distinction is taken seriously by speakers. Croatian and Bosnian use the Latin alphabet; Serbian uses both Latin and Cyrillic. Booking should record which the client actually asks for — substituting one for another because they are linguistically close is a reliable way to give offense and undermine trust in the room.
