The Serbian language is a South Slavic language of the Indo-European language family. Serbian is the official language of Serbia. It is also spoken in Montenegro and some parts of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Slovenia.
The number of Serbian speakers amounts to approximately 16 million people, which makes it one of the most spoken languages in the Balkans.
Prior to the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991, there used to be one single Serbo-Croatian language in Serbia. After 1991, the former Yugoslav nations started developing their own vernaculars.
There are three main Serbo-Croatian dialects: Čakavian, Kajkavian, and Štokavian. Modern Serbo-Croatian was standardized in the first half of the XIX century around the subdialects of Štokavian.
Serbian uses two scripts, one based upon the Cyrillic alphabet and the other on the Latin alphabet.
