Serbian

Serbian belongs to the Indo-European family of languages and is the most spoken South Slavic language. It is used mainly in Serbia and Montenegro. In order to write the Serbian language two alphabets are used: a variation on the Cyrillic alphabet and a variation on the Latin alphabet. The characters of the two alphabets map to each other one-to-one.
