Standard Serbian (along with standard Croatian and Bosnian) iz basically Shtokavian with two variations ekavian and ijekavian. There are also Torlakian (or as some say Old Shtokavian) which varieties were spoken in Eastern and Southern Serbia and some parts of modern Northern Macedonia, which is basically transitional form between Western South Slavic languages/dialects and Eastern South Slavic languages/dialects (Bulgaro-macedonian languages). It was somewhere between. There are also Chakavian (with ikavian and ekavian varieties) which was spoken in Dalmatia, central parts of Croatia and Istria. And there's also Kajkavian which was spoken in Northern Croatia-Zagreb and Međumurje (and in medieval times also in Slavonia) which was basically a transitional form towards Slovenian languages/dialects (which are also very diverse for such a small country). Shtokavian is basically used as standard Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Serbo-Croatia. All these dialects/languages along with Slovenian languages/dialects and Bulgaro-macedonian languages/dialects form a South Slavic dialect continuum.

@Mykhailo Lyuzhenko because they imported russian literature en masse. This was slavo-serbian which had nothing to do with the language of the everyday serbs. I know that croatians published like hundreds of books in what is today "serbo-croatian" (it started as croato-serbian) while there was like nothing from serbs. I want to know how serbs sounded like and what their vocabulary looked like in regions like šumadija (central serbia).

[@redflower2827]

@@TheDovahkiin97 Serbian language is based on Shtokavian dialect (that is dialect that is now spoken in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro) while original Croatian is based on "Chaikavian" (which is now used by small number of people in Croatia). They also use "Kajkavian" near border with Slovenia which is basically Slovenian dialect. Croatian linquist Ljudevit Gaj himself wrote that "Croatians embraced language of their Serbian brothers", Jernej Kopitar (Slovene) and Šafarik (Slovak) claimed the same. Vuk Karadžić reformed Serbian language and took eastern hercegovian dialect of Serbian language as standard (Serbian have 5 variations/dialects and 2 of them are standard). Old Serbian is not much different than modern Serbian but there are some words we don't use today for example old word for red was "rujno" and "rumeno, rumena" now is "crvena". Letters are the thing that was mostly reformed for example we used to have letter "Ii" in Cyrillic, in this form we use it in Latin, but it used to exist in Cyrillic. We used to have two type of cyrillic one that was used in church and one that was used by people but they were both used, than Vuk merged them in one and change it a bit.

[@amarillorose7810]

@@TheDovahkiin97 "Croatians published like hundreds of books in what is today "serbo-croatian" (it started as croato-serbian) while there was like nothing from Serbs" - that sentence is totally incorrect. Croats took over the Serbian "Štokavian" dialect, Croatian original was "Čakavian" (which is today used very little in some parts of Croatia) while the Slovene is "Kajkavian". Croatian linguist Ljudevit Gaj adopted the Serbian language as Croatian, which he himself admits "The whole world knows and admits by heart that we adopted Serbian literature, but it has never occurred to us to say that it is not Serbian but Croatian, we are proud and praise the Great God, that we Croats with brothers Serbs, now have one literary language” . The same was claimed by Jernej Kopitar (Slovenian linguist) and Šafarik (Slovak linguist). The Latin alphabet used by Croats and Serbs was mostly created by Ljudevit Gaj, who, after the Czechs and Poles, inserted "dž, lj and nj" into it. Gaj followed the example of Pavle Ritter Vitezović and the Czech orthography, taking one letter for each voice in the language. His letter is completely based on the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, which Vuk Stefanović Karadžić standardized a few years earlier. Đuro Daničić (Serb) proposed that the digraphs dž, dj, lj and nj be replaced by unique letters: ģ, đ, ļ and ń. The original Guy alphabet has been partially modified, changing only the digraph dj with the letter đ, while other suggestions have not been accepted. The reform made by Vuk does not differ much from the old Serbian (except for some words and letters).
