Serbian Church Slavic, also known as Serbian Church Slavonic (Serbian: српскословенски језик), was a liturgical and literary language used by the Serbs during the medieval and early modern periods, from the 11th up to the 18th century. It was a redaction of the Old Church Slavonic language, as applied under various influences of early vernacular forms of the Serbian language. It was the language of Medieval Serbian literature and early modern Serbian printing.
