| | Serbian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Serbian language is one of the standard versions of the Štokavian dialect (former standard was known as Serbo-Croatian language). | | | Two Serbian words that are used in many of the world's languages are vampire and slivovitz (though the etymology and origin of the word vampire is disputed [1]). | | | Serbian literature emerged in the Middle Ages, and included such works as Miroslavljevo jevanđelje (The Gospel of Miroslav) in 1192 and Dušanov zakonik (Dušan's Code) in 1349. |

| | Serbian Language is based on the Shtokavian dialect, allows both Western and Eastern spoken variants, and uses both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet. | | | However, some of greatest literary works in Serbian come from this time in form of oral literature, its most notable form being Serbian epic poetry; it is known that Goethe was learning Serbian language because he wanted to read Serbian epic poetry in original. | | | The two Serbian words that are used in many world languages are vampire and slivovitz. |

| | [Project Rastko] THE HISTORY OF SERBIAN CULTURE - Pavle Ivic: Standard language as an instrument of culture and the product of national history |
| | His book, A Serbian Dictionary, with a section on grammar was published in 1818, and it laid the foundations for a new type of literary language whose roots were in the speech of country folk and not urban dwellers. | | | The main difference between the Serbian and Croatian variants of the literary language is the greater willingness of Serbian to take in a foreign word, while the tendency in Croatian is to translate it with a neologism. | | | Independently of the intentions of the Serbian church authorities, in the second half of the eighteenth century, other matters were introduced from Russia along with the religious ones. |

| | As for Serbian standard language, there is a complete asymmetry between its position at the beginning of the 19th century and the Croatian linguistic situation. | | | Moreover, Bosnian language is not only a «successor language» (along with Croatian and Serbian) to the old Serbo-Croatian, but also the true heir of the entire corpus of literary and linguistic works written on the Bosnia and Herzegovina soil which (although tangentially in most cases) mention the name «Bosnian language». | | | So, prescriptions for the language of Bosnian Muslims in the 19th and 20th centuries were written outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina. |

| | An epitaph on the tombstone of Duke Radosav Pavlović in Rogatica, was carved "in Serbian letters and in the Serbian language", and it is not known whether Kuripečić actually copied it down himself or recorded it according to the interpretation of his Bosnian translators, including their own epic idealization. | | | With the demise of the Serbian medieval state, the historical traditions and epic poetry became the only integrating factor for the Serbian people, the most important elements of the communication system in the culture, and a means of spiritual survival and resistance to assimilation. | | | All the events are stylized in the correlation of the emotive-personal and heroic-epic-from the dramatic feast before the battle (which was modeled after both the Last Supper and the rituals of the Serbian slava which is dedicated to the family saint among the Serbs), to the search for dead heroes on the battlefield at Kosovo. |

| | Old Church Slavonic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Some Orthodox churches, such as the Russian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian Orthodox Church and Serbian Orthodox Church, as well as several Greek Catholic churches, still use Church Slavonic in their services and chants today. | | | Church Slavonic maintained a prestige status, particularly in Russia, for many centuries — among Slavs in the East it had a status analogous to that of the Latin language in western Europe, but had the advantage of being substantially less divergent from the vernacular tongues of average parishioners. | | | Later use of the language in a number of medieval Slavic states entailed the adjustment of Old Church Slavonic to the local vernacular, although a number of Southern Slavic, Moravian or Bulgarian features were also preserved. |

| | Other languages have acquired autonomy: Afrikaans and Macedonian are both dialects (of Dutch and Bulgarian—or perhaps Serbian—respectively) which have become languages: they are Ausbau languages which have been extended or constructed or developed out of former dialects. | | | This is often presented as a concentration on those dialects which he regarded as being the most "pure" or "uncorrupted" varieties of the language. | | | But there is also no doubt that the more linguistic distance you can put between your language and its neighbours on the dialect continuum the better. |
