Croatian vs Serbian
Croatian (Croatian) and Serbian (Serbian) are two of the four national standards of the Štokavian South Slavic language commonly referred to as BCMS (Bosnian–Croatian–Montenegrin–Serbian). Everyday speech is largely mutually intelligible; the standards differ in orthography, lexical preferences, and official status.
Srpski · Standard Serbian
The Belgrade-based standard of Serbian. Part of the Štokavian dialect continuum that underlies all four BCMS national standards (Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, Serbian); written in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts.
