Velika slova u srpskom jeziku
The intitial capital letter in Serbian is used for:
1. name, surname and nick name (Nikola Tesla, Josip Broz Tito)
2. nationalities as nouns, but not corresponding adjectives signifying a language or nationality
(Englez - an Englishman, engleski jezik =the English language, engleska zastava= English flag)
3. names of countries, continents, cities (Srbija, Evropa, Beograd)
4. companies, sports associations and edifices (Bambi-Banat, Savezna skupstina, Spartak)
5. wars, battles (Drugi svetski rat = World War II)
6. holidays (Bozic, Uskrs)
7. space objects (Mlecni put, Sunce, Mesec)
Serbian capital letters mark names and beginnings but leave days, months, languages and national adjectives modestly lowercase. Begin with Marija u julu putuje u Severnu Makedoniju.; its scene gives the new language somewhere concrete to stand.
