• Resumen

  • This article discusses the some of the major changes that have occurred in language planning in Serbia over the last decade. Great attention is given to the name of the language in light of the breakup of Yugoslavia and to the changes occurring (or the lack of them) in comparison to the languages of some of the other republics. There is discussion of the use of alphabets as well as a brief coverage of the ``ekavijan'' vs. ``jekavian'' dilemma. This is followed by a rather lengthy discussion of changes in orthographic reference books, and the article concludes with a brief overview of the work of the Committee for Standardization.
