    Serbian (српски / srpski, pronounced [sr̩̂pskiː]) is the standardized variety of the Serbo-


    Croatian language mainly used by Serbs.[8][9][10] It is the official and national language
    of Serbia, one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina and co-official
    in Montenegro, where it is spoken by the relative majority of the population. [11] It is a
    recognized minority language in Croatia, North
    Macedonia, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
    Standard Serbian is based on the most widespread dialect of Serbo-
    Croatian, Shtokavian (more specifically on the dialects of Šumadija-
    Vojvodina and Eastern Herzegovina[12]), which is also the basis of standard
    Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin varieties[13] and therefore the Declaration on the
    Common Language of Croats, Bosniaks, Serbs and Montenegrins was issued in 2017. [14]
    [15]
     The other dialect spoken by Serbs is Torlakian in southeastern Serbia, which is
    transitional to Macedonian and Bulgarian.
    Serbian is practically the only European standard language whose speakers are fully
    functionally digraphic,[16] using both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. The Serbian Cyrillic
    alphabet was devised in 1814 by Serbian linguist Vuk Karadžić, who created it based
    on phonemic principles. The Latin alphabet used for Serbian (latinica) was designed by
    the Croatian linguist Ljudevit Gaj in the 1830s based on the Czech system with a one-
    to-one grapheme-phoneme correlation between the Cyrillic and Latin orthographies,
    resulting in a parallel system.[17]
