Arebica (عربٖىڄا ,آرەبـٖٮڄآ; Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Аребица) is a variant of the Arabic script used to write the Serbo-Croatian language. It was used mainly between the 15th and 19th centuries and is frequently categorized as part of Aljamiado literature. During Austro-Hungarian rule, there were unsuccessful efforts by Bosnian Muslims to grant Arebica equal status alongside Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.[1] Apart from literature, Arebica was used in religious schools and administration, though in much less use than other scripts.
