Serbian alphabet
(PDF version)

Serbian uses primarily the Cyrillic alphabet, however, the Latin script is also used. So, you should try to learn both – starting with Latin. Unlike English, where the spelling is complicated, Serbian spelling is much easier, since orthography is largely phonemic, In Serbian each letter corresponds to a distinctive sound. For example, the letter ‘g' is always pronounced as [g] (as in 'groom'), regardless where it appears in a word, unlike English where ‘g’ in ‘groom’ and in ‘George’ are pronounced differently. We have separate letters for each sound.
