Language: |
The three
official languages of Yugoslavia were Serbo-Croatian,
Slovenian, and Macedonian. Serbo-Croatian has an eastern
and a western variant; it is written in the Latin
alphabet in Croatia and in the Cyrillic alphabet (see
Glossary) in Serbia and Montenegro (see fig. 8). Both
alphabets are used in Bosnia and Hercegovina.
Ironically, the Croatian literary variant is closer to
the language spoken by most Serbs and Montenegrins than
to that spoken by most Croats. |

The dinar
was the currency of the three Yugoslav states: the
Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
between 1918 and 2003. The dinar was subdivided into 100
para. |
