Serbian in a nutshell

The Serbian language (srpski jezik) is used mainly in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia and by Serbs abroad (Serbian expatriates). The previous standard is known as Serbo-Croatian, which is now split into Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian language standards.

The Serbian language uses two distinct writing systems (alphabets): a variation on the Cyrillic alphabet, devised by Vuk Karadžic, and a variation on the Latin alphabet, devised by Ljudevit Gaj. The letters of these two alphabets map to each other one-to-one.

In its writing system, Serbian and Croatian follows the principle 'a letter per sound'. This principle is represented by the saying, "Write as you speak and read as it is written".
