Serbs are Slavs and practice the Serbian Orthodox religion. Serbs speak mainly the Ekavian subdialect of the Stokavian dialect of Serbo-Croatian, a South Slavic language in the Slavic branch of Indo-European. Serbs prefer the use of the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, which differentiates them from the Croats who use the Latin alphabet. Prior to World War II, Serbs were primarily subsistence agriculturalists who also raised animals and sold some crops. After the war, with modernization and urbanization, there was less dependence on agriculture.
