The Origins Of The Serbian Language

Bilingual Post: English – Serbian

1. The Origins Of The Serbian Language

Serbian language is the official language used in Serbia, and it belongs to the South Slavic group of languages. South Slavic group is a part of larger of Slavic branch languages, and this is again a part of the Indo-European language family. This language was used in the former republic of Yugoslavia, and since then it has developed in few directions so today we have Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian languages.

Poreklo srpskog jezika

Srpski jezik je zvanični jezik u upotrebi u Srbiji i pripada Južno Slovenskoj grupi jezika. Južno Slovenska grupa je deo veće Slovenske grane jezika, a ona je pak deo Indo-Evropska porodica jezika. Ovaj jezik se koristio u bivšoj republici Jugoslaviji, i od tada se razvio u više pravaca pa danas imamo Srpski, Hrvatski, Bosanski jezik.

The origins of the Serbian language goes all the way to 1300 BC when it was used mostly for church and religious needs. Monks Cyril and Methodius worked on this language in the 9th century and made it more approachable for everyday use and people. They are still mentioned and honored today, as one of the most important people who made the Serbian language survive. They created an alphabet known as Glagolitic, and it was later changed to Cyrillic in the 12th century.

Poreklo srpskog jezika seže sve do 1300. godine pre nove ere kada je korišćen uglavnom za crkvene i verske potrebe. Monasi Ćirilo i Metodije su radili na ovom jeziku u devetom veku i prilagodili ga svakodnevnim potrebama ljudi. Ovi monasi se i danas pominju i poštuju kao jedni od najvažnijih ljudi koji su omogućili opstanak Srpskog jezika. Oni su napravili alfabet po imenu Glagoljica, koja je kasnije promenjena u Ćirilicu u dvanaestom veku.

2. Vuk Karadžić and the Serbian language reform

In the 19th century Serbian language underwent a significant transformation. Vuk Karadžić, one of the most famous linguists in Serbian history, modernized the Serbian language and brought it closer to common folk speech. Karadžić’s language reform also created the modern Serbian alphabet we use today, known as Azbuka.

Vuk Karadžić i reforma srpskog jezika

Srpski jezik je u 19. veku doživeo značajnu transformaciju. Vuk Karadžić, jedan od najpoznatijih lingvista u srpskoj istoriji, modernizovao je srpski jezik i približio ga običnom narodnom govoru. Karadžićeva jezička reforma stvorila je i savremeno srpsko pismo koje danas koristimo, poznato kao azbuka.

Vuk introduced the single letters lj, nj, đ, ć and replaced the old diagrams [lь], [nь], [dь], [tь] making the new Azbuka easier to write.

Vuk je uveo pojedinačna slova lj, nj, đ, ć i zamenio stare dijagrame [lь], [nь], [dь], [tь] čime je nova Azbuka postala lakša za pisanje.

3. The use of Cyrillic and Latin alphabet today

Serbian Language has two alphabets, and both, Cyrillic and Latin alphabet, are officially used in Serbia today. Serbian people read and write in both alphabets simultaneously because they are both mandatory parts of education. However, in everyday lives, Serbian people tend to use the Latin alphabet more because of its practicality and convenience.

Upotreba ćirilice i latinice danas

Srpski jezik ima dva pisma i danas se u Srbiji zvanično koriste i oba, ćirilica i latinica. Srpski narod čita i piše istovremeno oba pisma jer su obavezan deo obrazovanja. Međutim, u svakodnevnom životu srpski narod više koristi latinicu zbog njene praktičnosti i pogodnosti.

Cyrillic alphabet is usually the first thing a foreign person would notice in Serbia, and while it can be confusing at first it is quite easy and logical to learn. This is also one of the similarities with Russian languages because they tend to use this kind of alphabet too.

Ćirilično pismo je obično prva stvar koju stranci primate u Srbiji, i dok možda izgleda neobično zapravo je laka i logična za učenje. Ovo je takođe jedna od sličnosti sa Ruskim jezikom, zato što oni koriste slično pismo.

4. Influence from other languages

The Serbian language has “borrowed” words from many other languages (loanwords). Here are a few:

Uticaj drugih jezika

Srpski jezik je pozajmio mnogo reči iz drugih jezika (pozajmljenice). Evo su neke:

1. roba/роба (things, goods, merchandise) – from Italian “roba”
2. klavir/клавир (piano) – from French “clavier”
3. kreda/креда (chalk) – from Latin “creta”
4. šećer/шећер (sugar) – from Turkish “Şeker”
5. špijun/шпијун (spy) – from Italian “spione”
6. kifla/кифла (breakfast crescent, kipferl) – from German “kipferl”
7. džip/џип (SUV vehicle, Jeep) – from english “Jeep”
8. fenjer/фењер (lantern) – from Turkish “fenar”
9. fioka/фиока (drawer) – from Hungarian “fiok”
10. čorba/чорба (soup, broth, stew) – from Turkish “çorba”
11. lektira/лектира (reading, a list of books to read) from French “lectures”
12. pošta/пошта (Post Office) – from Italian “posta”

5. Where is the Serbian language used today?

The Serbian language is spoken by over 9 million people around the world. It’s primarily used in Serbia and surrounding countries like Bosnia and Montenegro. But it is also recognized as a minority language in Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Macedonia, and others. It’s used in Germany, Switzerland and other countries where Serbian people live and work.

Gde se danas koristi srpski jezik?

Srpski jezik govori preko 9 miliona ljudi u svetu. Pre svega se koristi u Srbiji i okolnim zemljama kao što su Bosna i Crna Gora. Ali je takođe priznat kao jezik nacionalnih manjina u Hrvatskoj, Mađarskoj, Sloveniji, Makedoniji i drugim zemljama. Koristi se i u Nemačkoj, Švajcarskoj i drugim zemljama gde Srbi žive i rade.

This unique language with its rich history and heritage is a great opportunity to learn something new. Unusual letters, talented writers, and amazing literature can be just around the corner waiting for you.

Kao što vidite, ovaj jedinstven jezik sa svojom bogatom istorijom i nasleđem je odlična prilika da naučite nešto novo. Neobična slova, talentovani pisci i neverovatna literature mogu biti iza prvog ugla.

Do people in Serbia speak English?

Bilingual Post: English – Serbian

1. Do people in Serbia speak English?

People in Serbia speak English, but it’s important to mention that English is well spoken in larger Serbian cities (i.e. Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš), and perhaps not so well in rural parts of Serbia. However, you shouldn’t have any problems communicating in English with Millennials and Generation Z (people under 40) no matter where you are traveling in Serbia.

It’s good to know that Serbia is among the top 20 best non-native English speaking countries (See the list – CEO World Magazine) and it ranks #17 after Croatia, Hungary and Romania. According to the EF EPI (EF English Proficiency Index), the world’s largest ranking of countries and regions by English skills, Serbia is ranked #14 with HIGH proficiency in English. Countries that come after Serbia on the list are Philippines (#18), Switzerland (#25) and Czech Republic (#27). (See the full list ).

Da li ljudi u Srbiji govore engleski?

Ljudi u Srbiji govore engleski, ali je važno spomenuti da se engleski dobro govori u većim gradovima Srbije (npr. Beograd, Novi Sad, Niš), a da se se slabije govori u ruralnim delovima Srbije. Međutim, ne bi trebalo da imate problema da pričate na engleskom sa milenijalcima i generacijom Z (ljudima ispod 40 godina) bez obzira gde putujete u Srbiji.

Dobro je znati da je Srbija među 20 najboljih zemalja u kojima engleski nije maternji jezik (pogledajte listu – CEO World Magazine) i rangirana je na 17. mestu posle Hrvatske, Mađarske i Rumunije. Prema EF EPI (EF English Proficiency Index), najvećoj svetskoj rang listi zemalja i regiona po znanju engleskog jezika, Srbija je rangirana na 14. mestu sa VISOKIM poznavanjem engleskog jezika. Zemlje na listi koje su posle Srbije su Filipini (#18), Švajcarska (#25) i Češka (#27). (Pogledajte kompletnu listu).

2. Can you travel to Serbia without speaking Serbian language?

Yes, you can definitely travel to Serbia without speaking Serbian. The English language will be enough for you to get around the larger cities in Serbia. If you are going to visit smaller Serbian towns and villages where people do not speak English, you will need to speak Serbian or bring a Serbian friend with you.

If you are planning on going to the smaller Serbian towns and villages, you will need to speak Serbian or go with a Serbian friend.

Možete li putovati u Srbiju bez znanja srpskog jezika?

Da, definitivno možete putovati u Srbiju i bez znanja srpskog. Engleski jezik će vam biti dovoljan za kretanje po većim gradovima Srbije. Ako idete u posetu manjim srpskim gradovima i selima u kojima ljudi ne govore engleski, treba da govorite srpski ili da sa sobom povedete srpskog prijatelja.

3. What languages do people speak in Serbia?

In Serbia people speak Serbian as their native language. Foreign languages are a big part of the Serbian public education and all students in school learn one or two foreign languages. English is the most common foreign language for Serbian students to learn in preschool and elementary school. Other languages that are taught in schools in Serbia are Russian, German, French, etc.

Furthermore, Serbians also speak the languages of neighboring countries like Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia. Serbians who live in the border region with Bulgaria, Macedonia and Montenegro, colloquially use these languages in their daily lives to communicate with their non-Serbian neighbors.

Koje jezike ljudi govore u Srbiji?

U Srbiji ljudi govore srpski kao maternji jezik. Strani jezici su veliki deo srpskog javnog obrazovanja i svi učenici u školi uče jedan ili dva strana jezika. Engleski je najčešći strani jezik koje srpski učenici uče u obdaništu i osnovnoj školi. Drugi jezici koji se uče u školama su ruski, nemački, francuski itd.

Osim toga, Srbi govore jezike susednih zemalja kao što su Hrvatska, Crna Gora i Bosna. Srbi koji žive u graničnim regionima se Bugarskom, Makedonijom i Crnom Gorom, kolokvijalno koriste ove jezike u svom svakodnevnom životu da komuniciraju sa svojim ne-srpskim susedima.

4. How do people in Serbia communicate and interact with other people?

People in Serbia are kind and friendly. They like to interact and socialize with people from other countries. Serbians communicate in a direct way and they often use hand gestures to convey additional information. Sometimes they can be loud and intense in conversation (aka. “in your face”) especially if they feel very strongly about something. Serbians believe “passion” is part of their “Balkan temperament and soul” and this is clearly visible in their communication style.

Serbians express their friendly intentions towards other people in various ways and “intensity and their animated nature” is just a part of their charm.
Serbians are quite curious about foreigners and they like to learn about other countries and different lifestyles. In a conversation, Serbs like to make comments and freely express their opinion. It’s common for them to share their thoughts too generously and to interrupt the speaker while he/she is speaking. These are a few things to be aware of when talking with Serbians.

One of my favorite words in Serbian is “druženje”. “Druženje” is a Serbian word that means “socializing, spending time, and having fun” in English. Serbians are very social and they like making new friends and I would use the word “druženje” to describe them.

Kako ljudi u Srbiji komuniciraju sa drugim ljudima?

Ljudi u Srbiji su ljubazni i društveni. Oni vole da komuniciraju i da se druže sa ljudima iz drugih zemalja. Srbi komuniciraju na direktan način i često rukama gestikuliraju dodatne informacije. U razgovoru umeju da budu neki put glasni ili “vatreni”, pogotovo ako im je do nečega jako stalo. Srbi smatraju da je „strast“ deo njihovog „balkanskog temperamenta i duše“ i to se jasno vidi u njihovom stilu komunikacije.

Srbi iskazuju prijateljske namere prema drugim ljudima na razne načine i „vatrenost i živahnost” su deo njihovog šarma.
Srbi su prilično radoznali kad su u pitanju stranci i znatiželjni o drugim zemljama i različitim načinima života. U razgovoru Srbi vole da komentarišu i da slobodno ispoljavaju svoje mišljenje. Sasvim je uobičajeno za Srbe da otvoreno kažu šta im je na umu i da prekinu govornika u razgovoru. Ovo je samo neke stvari kojih treba da budete svesni kada razgovarate sa Srbima.

Jedna od mojih omiljenih reči na srpskom jeziku je „druženje“. „Druženje” je srpska reč koja na engleskom znači „družiti se, provoditi vreme i zabavljati se”. Srbi su veoma društveni i vole da sklapaju nova prijateljstva i ja bih upotrebila reč „druženje” da ih opišem.

35 Useful Serbian Phrases To Get You Started Speaking Serbian Today

–

I want to share with you 35 useful Serbian phrases to help you get started speaking Serbian today.

My name is Cam and I started learning Serbian a few years ago. In the beginning, I didn’t speak much Serbian, but over the years I became proficient in the system of the language which then helped me with my fluency.  Today, I speak Serbian with my friends and family on a daily basis and I continue to learn. It’s a wonderful feeling being able to express yourself in a new language and connecting with people and cultures you love. If you are thinking about learning Serbian, I encourage you to do it. Achieving proficiency in any language requires learning, commitment, and lots of practice but it can be done! If you are a beginner learner or someone who is thinking about learning Serbian, phrases and expressions are a good place to start. Let’s begin!

Formal & Informal Speech in Serbian

It’s important to know that the Serbian language has two forms of speech: Formal and Informal. Formal Speech is used when talking to people older than you or with people you don’t know. People in Serbia use Formal Speech to show respect to elders, and in some instances to keep a working relationship “professional”. Informal Speech is used for casual conversations with people you know or with people who are younger than you.

I talk about this more in these two videos – Serbian Formal & Informal Speech Part 1  and Serbian Formal & Informal Speech Part 2

Now that we have covered these important points, let us jump into the useful Serbian phrases.

“Hello” in Serbian

“Hello” in Serbian is Zdravo. This informal greeting is related to the world “zdravlje” which means “health”. So when you are saying zdravo in Serbian to someone, you are literally wishing them good health. A more formal greeting would be dobar dan which means “good day” or “good afternoon”.

“How are you?” in Serbian

“How are you?” in informal Serbian is Kako si? and in formal Serbian is Kako ste?

“I’m Good” / “I’m Not Good” in Serbian

To reply to Kako si? or Kako ste? you can say either Dobro sam for “I’m good” or Nisam dobro for “I’m not good”.

“Please” in Serbian

Molim is “please” in Serbian. If you want to be more polite and formal you can say Molim Vas.

“Thank You” in Serbian

In Serbian, “thank you” is Hvala. And again, if you want to be more polite and formal you can say Hvala Vam.

“You’re Welcome” in Serbian

Nema na čemu is “You’re welcome”. The context behind this phrase in Serbian is “There is nothing for you to thank me for”.

“Good Morning” in Serbian

“Good morning” in Serbian is Dobro jutro. You will often hear the abbreviated version of this greeting in Serbia as ‘bro jutro! where “do” (from “dobro”) is left out.

“Good Night” in Serbian

“Good night” in Serbian is Laku noć. This literally means “Have a light night”.

“Goodbye” in Serbian

There are two ways to say “Goodbye” in Serbian. First is zbogom which is similar to “farewell” in English, and it’s used when you are saying goodbye to a person you’re not going to see for a very long time.

The second way to say “goodbye” in Serbian is doviđenja. This is a formal phrase and it’s used in everyday situations for example when you leave a store or any public place.

“What is your name?” in Serbian

If you’ve introduced yourself and want to ask what the other person’s name is, you can use this formal phrase Kako se zovete? or  to say this informally to a person younger than you, you could say Kako se zoveš? To answer this question you can simply say Zovem se… and say your name. For example: Zovem se Marko.

Some other useful Serbian phrases for eating out:

“I’d like to see the menu, please” – Želeo bih da vidim meni, molim Vas if you are a man, and Želela bih da vidim meni, molim Vas if you are a woman

“I’ll take this” – Uzeću ovo

“Give me that (one), please” – Dajte mi to, molim Vas

“How much is it?” – Koliko košta?

“The bill/check, please” – Račun, molim Vas

“Could you help me?” – Možete li da mi pomognete? (formal) and Možeš li da mi pomogneš? (informal)

The Top 5 Reasons to Learn Serbian?

Here are my top 5 reasons for learning Serbian

1) Learning the Serbian language will enable you to communicate with many countries in Eastern Europe: Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia.

By learning Serbian language you can easily understand and communicate with people in the Balkans. Languages such as Macedonian, Bulgarian, and Slovenian share many similarities with Serbian so learning Serbian positions you to learn those languages with relative ease.

2) Access to a beautiful country, a rich culture, and warm people

By learning Serbian you get access to a strikingly beautiful country with a colorful history and people who are deeply connected to their language. For example, did you know that the Kalemegdan Fortress, located in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, was built in 279 B.C.?

3) Enjoy literature

Enjoy literature from the Serbian authors like Milorad Pavić, Desanka Maksimović, Stevan Sremac and of course the Novelist and Nobel Prize winner (1961) Ivo Andrić.

4) Increase your brain power

Studies show that learning a second language significantly delays the onset of many brain-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, compared to those who can only speak their native tongue.
In this video, I share my Serbian learning process. Bdw, my name is Cam and I am married to a Serbian woman. I started learning Serbian when I was dating my wife.

5) Beautiful women!

Perhaps I am biased, but I don’t think so. Serbian women are some of the most beautiful women on the planet. And yes…that’s a good reason to learn the language! Cheers!
