The Serbian recension{{Sfn |Lunt|2001|p= [https://books.google.com/books?id=7BXJgfIo_fYC&pg=PA4 4]}} used both the [[Glagolitic script|Glagolitic alphabet]] and the [[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic alphabet]]. A home-grown side version of the Cyrillic alphabet, commonly known as [[Serbian Cyrillic alphabet|Serbian Cyrillic]], emerged very early on (probably the 10th century).

Was written mostly in Cyrillic, but also in the Glagolitic alphabet (depending on region); by the 12th century the Serbs used exclusively the Cyrillic alphabet (and [[Latin script]] in coastal areas). The 1186 [[Miroslav Gospel]] is an example of the Serbian recension.

Primary features:

* Nasal vowels were denasalised and in one case closed: *ę > e, *ǫ > u, e.g. OCS rǫka > Sr. ruka ("hand"), OCS językъ > Sr. jezik ("tongue, language")
* Notable extensive use of diacritical signs by the [[Manasija|Resava]] dialect
* Use of letters ''i, y'' for the sound {{IPA|/i/}} in other manuscripts of the Serbian recension
* Use of the [[Serbian_Cyrillic_alphabet#Early_history|Old Serbian Letter]] [[djerv]] (Ꙉꙉ) for the Serbian reflexes of [[Proto-Slavic language|Pre-Slavic]] *tj and *dj (*{{IPAlink|t͡ɕ}}, *{{IPAlink|d͡ʑ}}, *{{IPAlink|d͡ʒ}}, and *{{IPAlink|tɕ}})
=====Resava recension=====
Due to the Ottoman conquest of Bulgaria in 1396, Serbia saw an influx of educated scribes and clergy, who re-introduced a more classical form that resembled more closely the Bulgarian recension. In the late 1400s and early 1500s, the Resava orthography spread to Bulgaria and North Macedonia and exerted substantial influence on Wallachia. It was eventually superseded by Russian Church Slavonic in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
