Synopsis
Excerpt from Simplified Grammar of the Serbian Language
The object of the Serbian grammar now laid before the public is to give a short account of the chief characteristics of the language. It is believed that these will be found adequately stated, although with great brevity. I have derived some assistance from the grammar of A. Parcic, of which a French translation has appeared but in the classification of the nouns and verbs have followed Miklosich (Vergleichende Grammatik) and Danicic (Облици Cрпскогa Jезика, 3rd edition, Belgrade 1863). The grammatical forms in this little work are treated throughout in such a way as to bring the language in harmony with those of the Old Slavonic, its eldest surviving sister. It is only upon such principles that they can be properly explained.
In treating a language where so many dialects struggle for supremacy, it has been impossible to avoid a certain amount of inconsistency in orthography and grammatical forms, but I have taken pains that all the most prominent variations should be noted.
