Serbian can be written in either the Cyrillic or Latin alphabets, but Cyrillic is in official use in Serbia. In Serbia both scripts, the "azbuka" (Cyrillic script) and the Latin alphabet "abeceda" are in use and most of the people know both alphabets. People can freely decide which letters to use.
Vuk Karadzić, the 19th century reformer of the Serbian language came up with the concept of “write as you speak and read as it is written”. (Serbian: "Piši kao što govoriš i čitaj kako je napisano"). The Serbian alphabet is very consistent and precise: one letter per sound.
Serbian alphabet
Serbian alphabet has 30 letters (5 vowels and 25 consonants).
The table below shows the Serbian Cyrillic and Latin version and how it is pronounced and some examples of how those letters would sound if you place them in a word.
