About
the
Serbian
Translation:
The
first
Serbian
Bible of
Atanasie
Ivanović
Stoiković
(published
by the
Russian
Bible
Society
at Saint
Petersburg,
1824) is
not
written
in the
vernacular,
but is a
mixture
of
Church
Slavonic
and
Serbian.A
translation
of the
New
Testament
into
Serbian
was made
by Vuk
Stefanović
Karad?ić,
the
founder
of
modern
Serbian
literature,
and
published
at
Vienna
in 1847.
The Old
Testament
was
translated
by Vuk's
pupil
Đuro
Daničić
and
issued
at
Belgrade
in 1868.
About
the
Serbian
Language:
The
Serbian
language
is a
South
Slavic
language,
spoken
chiefly
in
Serbia,
Bosnia
and
Herzegovina,
Montenegro,
Croatia,
and in
the
Serbian
diaspora.
Standard
Serbian
is based
on the
Shtokavian
dialect,
like the
modern
Croatian
and
Bosnian,
with
which it
is
mutually
intelligible,
and was
previously
unified
with
under
the
standard
known as
Serbo-Croatian.
It
counts
among
the
official
(and
minority)
languages
of
Serbia,
Bosnia
and
Herzegovina,
Montenegro,
Croatia,
Romania,
Republic
of
Macedonia
and
Hungary.
The
alphabet
used to
write
Serbian
is a
variation
on the
Cyrillic
alphabet,
was
devised
by Vuk
Stefanović
Karad?ić.
The
Serbian
Latin
alphabet
is based
on
Ljudevit
Gaj's
reform.
Serbian
orthography
is very
consistent:
it is an
approximation
of the
principle
"one
letter
per
sound".
This
principle
is
represented
by
Adelung's
saying,
"Write
as you
speak
and read
as it is
written",
the
principle
used by
Vuk
Karad?ić
when
reforming
the
Cyrillic
orthography
of
Serbian
in the
19th
century.
Most of
the
European
linguists
from
outside
the
Balkans
regard
still
scientifically
the
Serbian,
Croatian,
Bosnian
and
Montenegrin
languages
as just
one
language
? the
Serbo-Croatian.
