a Native state name in
Latin script. Latin script was used by the
Serbo-Croatian language and the
Slovene language. After the break up of Yugoslavia, the Serbo-Croatian language gave way to four new languages:
Croatian,
Bosnian,
Montenegrin and
Serbian. Croatian and Bosnian languages as a result use
Latin script, while Serbian uses
Cyrillic script. Much like Slovene, the
Macedonian language that also uses Cyrillic script was independent. Identical spelling is used in both the Latin and Cyrillic versions of the state name, and in all five ex-Yugoslav languages, with the slight exception of the Slovene language. The Slovene term for the adjective "Socialist" is "Socialistič
na", instead of "Soci
jalistič
ka". The spelling in the
Serbian and
MacedonianCyrillic script transliterations of the state name (which use the Serbian Cyrillic variant) are identical to the Latin transliteration.
b Native State name in
Serbian Cyrillic script. In SFR Yugoslavia, Cyrillic script was used as an alternative to Latin by the
Serbo-Croatian language (in
SR Serbia and
SR Montenegro), and the
Macedonian language (in
SR Macedonia). After the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the unified Serbo-Croatian language, the new
Serbian language primarily uses Cyrillic script (alongside Latin). The
Macedonian language language, independent during (and after) the Yugoslav period, also continued to use Cyrillic script.
