About Croatian
Croatian (hrvatski) is spoken by about five million people in Croatia and neighbouring countries, and is understood across Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro. It uses the Latin alphabet with a few extra letters: č, ć, đ, š, ž. Good news for learners: Croatian is pronounced exactly as it is written, so once you know the letters you can read any word aloud.
