Standard Serbian is based on Neo-Štokavian dialect, and has two accents with equal status: Ekavian and Ijekavian. The reflex of Yat in the Ekavian accent is mostly /e/, and in the Ijekavian accent it can be /ije/, /je/, or /i/. The Ijekavian accent is primarily used by Serbs in Republika Srpska and the rest of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and parts of Croatia. The Ekavian accent is the predominant usage in Serbia.
