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" phylosophy. In Serbian
cyrillic, each voice that can be pronnounced in a word is indicated by only and exactly
one letter. Ther can be no inperfections as "The" pronnounced 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.
