This is interesting. Serbians prefer Cyrillic in their everyday life (books, papers, etc.), however I have the impression that in computers they use only the Latin alphabet with ISO-8859-2. (Officialy both alphabets can be used to write Serbian.) I think XFree doesn't have proper keyboard support for Serbian Cyrillic (this is easy to fix though). > The languagechooser entry needs some fine tuning probably in a way > similar to other cyrillic languages such as Ukrainian and Russian. We have three options for the second stage: 1. use the locale [EMAIL PROTECTED] UTF-8 is a must because people will need to use the Sebian Latin alphabet. 2. use sr_YU. This locale is for ISO-8859-2. I think this is the most popular option in Serbia and Montenegro. The console has to be a Latin console. 3. use sr_YU.UTF-8. Like 2. but allows to use Cyrillic. > The only valid locale with sr is currently sr_YU in libc.

Serbians live also in Bosnia and Croatia. Only 10 years ago there was only one language named "Serbocroatian" (or sometimes "Croatoserbian") but I suppose that Serbians in Croatia and Bosnia will prefer their language to be named Serbian rather than Croatian or Bosnian.
