Where does Serbian come from?
Serbian is a form of Serbo-Croatian, the language of the former republic of Yugoslavia. It is a member of the South Slavonic sub-group of the Indo-European family of languages.

Except for their scripts, Croatian and Serbian are really the same language. The Serbs, however, call their language Serbian, and being of Eastern Orthodox religious persuasion, write it in a modified form of the Cyrillic alphabet. The Roman Catholic Croats, on the other hand, call their language Croatian and employ the Roman alphabet. Only a slightly different intonation or the use of a certain word will indicate whether someone is a Serb or a Croat.

How many people speak Serbian?
About 8 million people speak Serbian.

In how many countries?
Serbian is spoken in Serbia, Croatia and Austria.

Serbian Culture

Serbian Music and Dance
Serbian music and dance is built on a strong folk tradition, similar to that of neighbouring Bulgaria. The gajde, which looks like a large set of bagpipes, is the wailing mainstay of song, while around Guca, gypsy dancers swing to the brassy tones of blehmuzika, Serbia's national brass-band sound.

Serbian Food and Drink
Serbian cuisine takes tastes from Turkey, Hungary and Greece. However they spice it, though, the Yugoslavs love their meat: Serbian kebabs, hamburger steaks, vegetables stuffed with meat and mixed grills of pork, liver, sausage and rissoles.

Even breakfast is meaty - the traditional Balkan burek is a greasy layered pie of cheese and meat.

Fruit grows everywhere, and the Yugoslavs like to enjoy their harvest year round by fermenting grapes, apples, or stone fruit into a brandy called rakija. Montenegrin beer is also a tasty tipple.

Serbian Attractions
Belgrade Destroyed 40 times in its 2300 year history, Belgrade has a slightly dishevelled air. Its main attraction is the Kneza Mihaila, a cafe-lined pedestrian boulevard that runs north-west through the old town.

Novi Sad Novi Sad is a friendly modern university town with a touch of Hungary. The city, embraced by a curve of the Danube, has a lively atmosphere.

Budva Budva's old town was destroyed in a 1979 earthquake but has been entirely rebuilt.

"I bought your Learn Malay CD today - I've only just begun, but I wanted to say how much I am enjoying it. I studied Malay from a book all day yesterday, making some 25 pages of notes on grammar and vocab, but I remember more from your CD from just an hour!" - James Bryce
