The main dialect o Serbie, on which the literary an staundart leid is based, is Shtokavie - which is an aa the basis o Staundart Croatie, Bosnie, an Montenegrin.[14] The ither principal dialect, Torlakian, is disputit as tae whether it's a Serbie dialect, or a transitional dialect atween Bulgarie an Serbie.

Serbie is staundartized aroond Šumadija-Vojvodina an Eastren Herzegovinie subdialects o Shtokavie. Apairt frae Shtokavian, the Torlak dialect, transitional tae Macedonie an Bulgarie, is spoken in sootheast Serbie. Housomeivver, it does no hae a literary tradition an is considered a law-prestige dialect.
