Serbo-Croatian is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It is estimated that there are around 7 million speakers of the language. The language is a member of the Slavic language family and is closely related to Russian, Polish and Czech. The language is written in the Latin alphabet and uses a modified version of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet.
The language is spoken in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The language has three dialects, which are Shtokavian, Torlakian and Kajkavian. The Shtokavian dialect is the most widely spoken and is the basis for the standard language. The Torlakian dialect is spoken in Serbia and Montenegro, while the Kajkavian dialect is spoken in Croatia.
The language has a rich history and has been influenced by a number of other languages over the years. The first influence was the Old Church Slavonic language, which was introduced to the region by the Cyrillic alphabet. The second influence was Turkish, after the Ottoman Empire invaded the Balkans. This influence can be seen in the many Turkish loanwords in the language.
The third influence on the language was Austrian, after the Austrian-Hungarian Empire occupied the Balkans in the 19th century. This can be seen in the many German loanwords in the language. The fourth and final influence on the language was Russian, after Serbia became a part of the Soviet Union. This can be seen in the many Russian loanwords in the language.
The language is currently undergoing a process of standardization, with the goal of making it more uniform across all the countries where it is spoken.
