Serbians
The term Serbians in English is a polysemic word, with two distinctive meanings, derived from morphological differences: * Morphology 1: Serb-ian- s, derived from the noun ''Serb'' and used interchangeably to refer to ethnic Serbs, thus having a synonymous ethnonymic use. * Morphology 2: Serbia- an- s, a demonym derived from the noun ''Serbia'', designating the population of Serbia, in general. In English, the use of term ''Serbians'' depends on the context, with demonymic use being more common, but not exclusive. Demonymic use The term ''Serbians'' is used in English as a demonym for all citizens of Serbia, regardless of their ethnic, linguistic, religious or other cultural distinctions. In Serbian, however, the term ''Srbijanci'' ( sr-Cyrl-Latn, link=no, Србијанци, Srbijanci) is also used for ethnic Serbs from Serbia, or in a narrower sense, Serbs from Central Serbia ( Serbia proper). The term thus excludes ethnic Serbs in the neighboring countries, such as Bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The census was boycotted by some Bosniaks from the Sandžak region, since Muamer Zukorlić one of the leaders of the Party of Justice and Reconciliation, called upon his followers not to take part in the census. Moreover, the largely Albanian population of Preševo, Bujanovac and Medveđa municipalities boycotted the census, too.

"Bože pravde" was the state anthem of the Kingdom of Serbia until 1919 when Serbia became a part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

Romani People In Serbia
Romani people, or Roma ( sr, Роми, Romi), are the third largest ethnic group in Serbia, numbering 147,604 (2.1%) according to the 2011 census.

Estimates that correct for undercounting suggest that Serbia is one of countries with the most significant populations of Roma people in Europe at 250,000-500,000. Anywhere between 46,000 to 97,000 Roma are internally displaced from Kosovo after 1999. Another name used for the community is ''Cigani'' ( sr-Cyrl, Цигани). They are divided into numerous subgroups, with different, although related, Romani dialects and history. Subgroups Main sub-groups include "Turkish Gypsies" (''Turski Cigani''), "White Gypsies" (''Beli Cigani''), "Wallachian Gypsies" (''Vlaški Cigani'') and "Hungarian Gypsies" (''Mađarski Cigani''), as studied by scholar Tihomir Đorđević (1868–1944). * Wallachian Roma.
