Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

^a Native state name in Latin script. In SFR Yugoslavia, Latin script was used by the Serbo-Croatian language (in SR Croatia and SR Bosnia and Herzegovina), and the Slovene language (in SR Slovenia). After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the unified Serbo-Croatian language gave way to four new languages: Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin and Serbian. Croatian and Bosnian languages consequently use Latin script, while Serbian uses Cyrillic script. Much like Slovene, the Macedonian language (which also uses Cyrillic script) was independent from Serbo-Croatian during (and after) the Yugoslav period. Identical spelling is used in both the Latin and Cyrillic versions of the state name, and in all five ex-Yugoslav languages, with the slight exception of the Slovene language. The Slovene term for the adjective "Socialist" is "Socialistična", instead of "Socijalistička". The spelling in the Serbian and Macedonian Cyrillic script transliterations of the state name (which use the Serbian Cyrillic variant) are identical to the Latin transliteration.
^b Native State name in Cyrillic script (Serbian Cyrillic variant). In SFR Yugoslavia, Cyrillic script was used as an alternative to Latin by the Serbo-Croatian language (in SR Serbia and SR Montenegro), and the Macedonian language (in SR Macedonia). After the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the unified Serbo-Croatian language, the new Serbian language primarily uses Cyrillic script (alongside Latin). The Macedonian language language, independent during (and after) the Yugoslav period, also continued to use Cyrillic script.
