SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SERBIAN LANGUAGE TODAY AND IN THE TIME OF VUK

Сажетак

Language, religion and writing are key aspects of a nation to secure national identity. What has happened to the Serbian language since the Second World War to the present day, and what damage it suffered as a central language, under the auspices of the South Slavic language community? Serbian science has neglected its national alphabet - the Cyrillic alphabet to show respect to other nations, and to give greater contribution to the false idea of "brotherhood and unity". The name of Serbo-Croatian language, was only used by Serbs, while the Croats called it Croation or Serbian language; so, the nomination consisted of two words, while the last one was never used. Omitting the word Serbian the Croats created overture for constituting the Croatian language. Unfortunately, the magazines for culture and science, which were printed in Cyrillic, were expelled in chronological order from Croatia and in this war were expelled their users too. How it all happened before the eyes of Serbian science and politics, it is very debatable. So, while the other nations were fighting for their identity, the Serbs were silently watching the collapse of Serbian institutions, the Serbian language, letter, and the Serbian identity itself.
