Socialist Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia: Central and Southeast European socialist state (1945–1992)

^a Native state name in Latin script. Latin script was used by the Serbo-Croatian language and the Slovene language. After the break up of Yugoslavia, the Serbo-Croatian language gave way to four new languages: Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin and Serbian. Croatian and Bosnian languages as a result use Latin script, while Serbian uses Cyrillic script. Much like Slovene, the Macedonian language that also uses Cyrillic script was independent. 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 Serbian Cyrillic script. 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.
