Serbian Alphabet with Pronunciation

• There are five vowels and 25 consonants.
• Stressed vowels tend to be pronounced more clearly and distinctly than their unstressed counterparts. Stressed vowels are designated with :
• Note that r can be both a consonant and a  vowel, as in trn (thorn).  
• Consonants: t, d, s, z, l are dental, which means that the tip of the tongue touches back of the upper teeth
• Consonants: p, t are unaspirated at the beginning of a syllable. So, in this position, p and t sound like soft English b and d respectively.
• Both Latin and Cyrillic scripts are shown in the table below. The letter before ‘/’ is the Latin variant and the letter in blue ink, after ‘/’ is a corresponding Cyrillic variant.
• Pronunciation is given using both an English word (as a reference) and a Serbian word. To hear either a Serbian or English pronunciation, just click over the word in orange.
