Serbian Cyrillic Alphabet and Cyrillic Script
Српска азбука
и ћирилица
The official and constitutional script in Serbia is the Cyrillic script. Even though we also use the Latin script, and maybe even predominantly nowadays, the ćirilica is our tradition and our cultural treasure.
All the Cyrillic letters in their standard order form the official Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, which is called azbuka, or азбука.
