You know the old joke: Знам латиницу. :-D
At least all Serbs I know prefer writing in Cyrillic. When I briefly attended college in Novi Sad everyone there was surprised I wrote all my notes in the Latin alphabet (I was also the only Slovak in the class). Also I always thought they mostly preferred Cyrillic in the south and east not so much here in Vojvodina. Let me give you a sample of what kind of orthography I like. Yes, it does look strange, but it is the old Pre-Vuk orthography (modified for the modern Serbian language). --- Србски єзыкъ є словѣнски єзикъ. Као и македонски, бугарски, хрватски, бошнячки и словеначки, онъ є южнословѣнски єзыкъ и то западногъ тѵпа као и сви наведени єзыци осимъ бугарскогъ и македонскогъ (кои чине такозване источноюжнословѣнске єзыке). Одъ осталихъ словѣнскихъ єзыка, южнословѣнски говори су се по свему судещи издвоили йошь пре преласка на Балканско полуострво. То се заключує на основу заєдничкихъ особина коє имаю найзападніи словеначки и чешки говори, као и найюжніи словачки и србско-хрватски говори. У ранійой фази, пре тихъ диференціяція, постояо є єданъ єдинственъ єзыкъ кои се технички назива прасловѣнскимъ. Тай заєднички єзыкъ свихъ Словѣна ниє оставио никакавъ трагъ. Нєму є врло близакъ говоръ Кѵрілла и Меѳодія, такозвани старословѣнски, кои є по своимъ особинама источноюжнословѣнскогъ тѵпа. Иако чува седамъ падежа, дуалъ, затимъ конъюктивъ и оптативъ, онъ се ипакъ разликує битно одъ реконструисаногъ прасловенскогъ єзыка. Єдна од наюпадлївіихъ разлика є что є у старословенскомъ, као и у србскомъ, вещь тада дошло до метаѳезе ликѵида. --- Edited by Delodephius on 16 March 2010 at 4:34pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Haha, yeah I know that joke!
Well, I don't know, but my experience is a bit different. I live in Belgrade and here the most people write in Latin. Of course, any generalization is bad, but here it was more strange that someone write in Cyrillic than in Latin. Now, I can remember only one girl from my Uni who writes in Cyrillic. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Delodephius, my brain hurts from reading that :D (like - I can read it fast, without conscious effort, but it feels like there is a lot of work going on in the subconscious :) )
by the way, my experience is like Aleksey's - of the people I know, I think more prefer Latin script. (maybe that has something to do with technical/social sciences faculties - like at my faculty where you have a lot of foreign words in use...) 1 person has voted this message useful |
