The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet (Serbian: српска/Вукова ћирилица, srpska/Vukova ćirilica, literally "Serbian/Vuk's Cyrillic alphabet") is the official and traditional alphabet used to write the Serbian language.

There is a total of 30 letters (and sounds) in the Serbian alphabet: 5 vowels and 25 consonants. Note that r can be both a consonant and a vowel. For example, in the first syllable of the word, Srbin ‘Serb’, ‘r’ acts as a vowel. You can hear a super short and weak ‘a’ (like a schwa in the English word ‘sister’) followed by trilled [r].
