Kostić but I use Kostic when I write English. If I use Serbian Latin (when I communicate with Croatians, for example) I would write down Kostić.
The problem with not writing out diacritics is that Serbian is a language with a fully phonetic alphabets. You don't need to ever guess how words are written or read. You lose greatest feature of the Serbian language if you don't use diacritics, when using the Latin keyboard. I shouldn't, ever, guess how a Serbian word is read when I see it.
- kwhitefoot 9y ago> a language with a fully phonetic alphabet So there are no dialects or regional accents? My Norwegian teacher tried to tell me the same thing thirty years ago. For Norwegian it is manifestly untrue because pronunciation varies from valley to valley.
- Kostic 9y agoThere are dialects but those dialects all use the same number of voices (one voice equals to one letter) so they can be expressed with the Cyrillic or the Latin script. There are also regional accents but accents aren't different enough to pose any kind of problem when communicating. Hell, even other language standards created from the Serbo-Croatian language aren't different enough to pose a problem when communicating. :)
