SERBIAN CYRILLIC LETTERS

 

Serbian Cyrillic, although to a non-slav may seem same to Russian or Bulgarian Cyrillic, is really quite unique. Serbs think their cyrillic is the most perfect alphabet in the world, because of it's unique "one letter represents one voice" philosophy. In Serbian cyrillic, each voice that can be pronounced in a word is indicated by only and exactly one letter. There can be no imperfections as "The" pronounced as "D" in English, for instance, of "Ch" indicating "H" as in Czech, or "NJ", "LJ" or "DJ" to indicate one voice, as in Croatian.
