Latin script with five extra letters
Croatian uses the Latin alphabet, which removes the first obstacle entirely — there is no new script to learn. What it adds are č, ć, š, ž and đ, plus the digraphs lj, nj and dž which count as single letters.
The č / ć distinction is the one that takes practice: č is a harder ch, ć softer and more palatal. Croatian speakers hear the difference immediately; learners usually cannot at first.
Spelling is close to phonetic, so once the letters are learned, reading aloud is reliable.
Seven cases and a pitch accent
Croatian has seven cases across three genders, and adjectives agree with their noun throughout. This is the substantial work of learning the language, and there is no way round it.
It also has a pitch accent — syllables carry rising or falling tone as well as length — which is not marked in ordinary writing and which most learners never fully acquire. The good news is that it rarely blocks comprehension.
Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian
These are mutually intelligible to a very high degree. The clearest practical difference is script: Croatian is written in Latin, Serbian officially uses both Cyrillic and Latin. Vocabulary and some grammatical preferences diverge, and the question of how to name and count these varieties is politically charged in a way a dictionary cannot settle.
Croatian is spoken by around 5.5 million people and is the official language of Croatia and one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Croatian written in Cyrillic?
No, Croatian uses the Latin alphabet, with the additional letters č, ć, š, ž and đ, plus the digraphs lj, nj and dž. Serbian is the variety that officially uses both Cyrillic and Latin scripts.
What is the difference between č and ć?
Both are ch-like sounds. Č is harder and further back, ć is softer and more palatal. Croatian speakers distinguish them immediately and learners generally need practice to hear the difference, let alone produce it.
Can I use this dictionary for Serbian or Bosnian?
To a large extent, since the varieties are highly mutually intelligible. Vocabulary differs in places and Serbian also uses Cyrillic, so a dedicated Serbian dictionary is a better fit if that is your target.
How many cases does Croatian have?
Seven, across three genders, with adjectives agreeing with their nouns in gender, number and case. This is the main grammatical work of learning the language.
