Serbian language

Serbian is a South Slavic language spoken mainly in Serbia and the Balkans, characterized by a complex system of grammar, including seven cases and three genders. It uses both Cyrillic and Latin scripts, often interchangeably. Serbian shares many similarities with Croatian and Bosnian, making them mutually understandable, but it maintains unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammatical nuances. The language reflects Serbia’s rich cultural history and influences from various periods and regions, serving as a vital part of national identity. Serbian is also the formal language of the Serbian Orthodox Church and has official status within Serbia.
