[[Vuk Karadžić]]'s ''[[Srpski rječnik]]'', first published in 1818, is the earliest dictionary of modern literary Serbian. The ''Rječnik hrvatskoga ili srpskoga jezika'' (I–XXIII), published by the [[Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts]] from 1880 to 1976, is the only general historical dictionary of Serbo-Croatian. Its first editor was [[Đuro Daničić]], followed by [[Pero Budmani]] and the famous Vukovian [[Tomislav Maretić]]. The sources of this dictionary are, especially in the first volumes, mainly [[Štokavian]]. There are older, pre-standard dictionaries, such as the [[German–Serbian dictionary (1791)|1791 German–Serbian dictionary]] or 15th century [[Arabic-Persian-Greek-Serbian Conversation Textbook]].

===Standard dictionaries===
*''[[Dictionary of Serbo-Croatian Literary and Vernacular Language]]'' ({{lang|sh-Latn|Rečnik srpskohrvatskog književnog i narodnog jezika}}) is the biggest dictionary of Serbian (and Serbo-Croatian as a whole) and still unfinished. Starting in 1959, 21 volumes were published as of 2020 and about 40 are expected by the time it is finished.
* ''Dictionary of Serbo-Croatian Literary Language'' ({{lang|sh-Latn|Rečnik srpskohrvatskoga književnog jezika}}) in six volumes in 1967–1976, started as a common project of [[Matica srpska]] (published in Cyrillic) and [[Matica hrvatska]] (published in Latin). Only the first three volumes were published by Matica hrvatska due to negative feedback from Croatian linguists. 
* ''Dictionary of the Serbian language'' ({{lang|sh-Latn|Rečnik srpskoga jezika}}; {{ISBN|978-86-7946-004-2}}) in one volume, published in 2007 by [[Matica srpska]], which on more than 1500 pages in [[Paper size|A4 format]] explains more than 85,000 entries.

===Etymological dictionaries===
The standard and the only completed etymological dictionary of Serbian is the "[[Skok]]", written by the Croatian linguist [[Petar Skok]]: ''Etimologijski rječnik hrvatskoga ili srpskoga jezika'' ("Etymological Dictionary of Croatian or Serbian"). I-IV. [[Zagreb]] 1971–1974.

There is also a new monumental ''[[Etimološki rečnik srpskog jezika]]'' (Etymological Dictionary of Serbian). So far, two volumes have been published: I (with words on A-), and II (Ba-Bd).

There are specialized etymological dictionaries for German, Italian, Croatian, Turkish, Greek, Hungarian, Russian, English and other loanwords (cf. chapter ''word origin'').
