Ekavski is a dialect of the Serbian language, primarily spoken in the central and western regions of Serbia. It is characterized by the pronunciation of the vowel "e" instead of "ije" or "je," which is common in the Ijekavski dialect. This distinction is one of the key features that differentiate the two dialects. The Ekavski dialect is used in various forms of media, including literature and music, and is an important part of Serbian cultural identity. It is also recognized in official contexts, contributing to the linguistic diversity within the Serbian language.
