It consists of 30 letters, each representing a specific sound in the Serbian language. The Cyrillic alphabet was developed in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius, who were Byzantine missionaries. It has since undergone several modifications to suit the phonetic needs of the Serbian language.
