1.Vuk Stefanovi䇠Karad復䇠(Serbian Cyrillic: 𐒑㐺 𐡑𑄐𐐽𒐸𐚐𐑀𐰑🐸 (November 7, 1787 - February 7, 1864) was a Serbian linguist and major reformer of the Serbian language.
Karad復䇠was born in the village of Tr塩䇬 Ottoman Empire (now Serbia) near Loznica. His first name "Vuk" means "wolf", which he was given because all his brothers and sisters died of tuberculosis, leaving him the sole survivor. It was believed at the time that witches feared wolves, and therefore the name would protect him from any evil they could inflict. Apart from learning to read and write in the Trono塡 monastery, he educated himself. He took part in the First and Second Serbian uprisings against the Ottoman Turk's occupation of Serbia. After the second uprising failed in 1813, he fled to Vienna, where he wrote the most significant works of his career.
Karad復䇠reformed the Serb literary language and standardized the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet by following strict phonemic principles. (In everyday usage, but less accurately, his alphabet is often termed a phonetic alphabet.) This made it one of the most usable in the world.
Karad復䇦#39;s reforms of the Serbian literary language modernized it and distanced it from Serbian and Russian Church Slavonic, instead bringing it close to common folk speech, specifically, to the dialect of Eastern Herzegovina which he spoke. Karad復䇠was, together with 䐵ro Dani䍩䇬 the main Serbian signatory to the Vienna Agreement of 1850 which, encouraged by Austrian authorities, laid the foundation for the later Serbo-Croatian language, various forms of which are used in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia today.
In addition to these linguistic reforms, Vuk also made great contributions to folk literature, using peasant culture as the foundation. Because of his peasant upbringing, he closely associated with the peasant's oral literature, compiling it to use in his collection of folk songs, tales, and proverbs. While Vuk hardly considered peasant life romantic, he highly regarded it as an integral part of Serbian culture. He collected several volumes of folk prose and poetry, including a book of over 100 lyrical and epic songs learned as a child and written down from memory. He also published the first dictionary of vernacular Serbian. For his work he received little financial aid, at times living in poverty. He died in Vienna.
2.Dis was wrigting poems.
3.Petar II Petrovi䇭Njego塠(Serbian Cyrillic: 𐰑ࠉI 𑀐ꐵ𐳐) was a Serbian Orthodox Prince-Bishop (Serbian: 𐒐𐴐𘐺𐰠or Vladika) of Montenegro and a ruler who transformed Montenegro from a theocracy into a secular state. However, he is most famous as a poet and is considered by many to be among the greatest poets of the Serbian language. The first notable writer from Montenegro, his notable works include The Mountain Wreath (Serbian: 𐓐 𐲐𘑘𝐰𑆠or Gorski vijenac), the Light of Microcosm (𐛑㑇𐰠𐼐𘐺𑀐𗐼𐰠or Lu䍡 mikrokozma), the Serbian Mirror (𐞐𔐰𞠑ᑀᐺor Ogledalo srpsko), and False Tsar Stephen the Little (𐛐𐐶𐽐𘠑搰𑀠𐨑𐐽 𐜐𐐻or La?i car 堄祰an Mali).
4.Nikola Tesla (Serbian: 𐝐𘐺 𐢐𐩠(10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943[2]) was a world-renowned inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer and electrical engineer. He was born an ethnic Serb citizen of the Austrian Empire and later became an American citizen. Tesla is best known for his revolutionary work in, and numerous contributions to, the discipline of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th century. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.
After his demonstration of wireless communication in 1893 and after being the victor in the "War of Currents", he was widely respected as America's greatest electrical engineer.[3] Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. In the United States, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture,[4] but due to his eccentric personality and, at the time, unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist.[5][6] Never putting much focus on his finances, Tesla died impoverished and forgotten at the age of 86.
The SI unit measuring magnetic flux density or magnetic induction (commonly known as the magnetic field ), the tesla, was named in his honour (at the Conf㩲ence G㩮㩲ale des Poids et Mesures, Paris, 1960).
Aside from his work on electromagnetism and engineering, Tesla is said to have contributed in varying degrees to the establishment of robotics, remote control, radar and computer science and to the expansion of ballistics, nuclear physics and theoretical physics. In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him as being the inventor of the radio. Many of his achievements have been used, with some controversy, to support various pseudosciences, UFO theories and new age occultism. Contemporary researchers of Tesla have deemed him "the man who invented the twentieth century"[7] and "the patron saint of modern electricity."[
5.Jovan Jovanovi䇠Zmaj (Serbian Cyrillic: 𐰐𝠐萾𐲐𐐽𒐸𑘩 (November 24, 1833 - June 3, 1904) is one of the best-known Serb poets.
Zmaj ("Dragon") was born in Sremska Kamenica. He finished elementary school in Novi Sad, and secondary school in Bratislava, later studying in Budapest, Prague and Vienna. In 1870, he returned to Novi Sad to work as a doctor, motivated by the fact that his wife and children were suffering from and eventually died from tuberculosis.
He wrote in many of the genres of poetry, including love, lyric, patriotic, political, youth's, and educational poetry. But he is best known for his children's poetry. His nursery rhymes have entered the Serbian national consciousness and people sing them to their children even without knowing who wrote them.
The Zmaj Children Games (Serbian: 𑘐𐴐𘐵 𓑀/ Zmajeve de䍩je igre), one of the biggest festivals for children in Serbia and the Novi Sad region, are named after Jovan Jovanovi䇠Zmaj
