It is also an official language of Bosnia. Barring a few vocabulary differences, it is almost identical to the Bosnian and Croatian Ianguages. You can use any of the phrasebooks mentioned and get along with it in either Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia or Montenegro (during the period of common state of Yugoslavia these languages were known as Serbo-Croatian). Serbian is written mostly in Cyrillic in Serbia and Bosnia (Serb Rep.). However in Montenegro the Latin alphabet is almost always used. Sometimes both versions are used. There are also Serbian minority speakers in portions of southern and eastern Croatia Germany and Austria also have large Serbian minority populations in major cities. Like all other Balto-Slavie languages (except Bulgarian-Macedonian), pronouns, adjectives and nouns in Serbian are declined through cases (kuéa, kuée, kuéi, etc. mean house, of the house, to the house, ete). However, tenses are more simple than in English - there is no difference between "I go” and "I'm going" or "I saw" and "I have seen’ While an English speaker will express himself correctly only by saying, "Lwas drinking when you came", both verbs of this sentence could be translated by any of Serbian past tenses and still be correct. Note the difference between the polite "you" pronoun, "vi" ("vous" in French, "Sie" in German) and informal "ti" ("tu" in French, "Du" in German). Serbian has no articles and the difference between "a house" and "the house" is understood from the context and noun declensions. The most common word order is ‘VO (subject-verb-object), Pronunciation guide Serbian uses both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, the only Slavic language to do so. Everyday use is the the Roman alphabet, but the Cyrillic alphabet is used for official purpose and is considered more traditional. Pronunciation is usually very simple, as almost every word is written exactly as it is pronounced. Both the Roman and the Cyrillic alphabets will be shown here.
