The Serbian language is one of the richest languages regarding kinship terminology. The Serbs are family oriented and employ many terms whose equivalents can not be found in any foreign language, including other closely related Slavic languages. Some explain this by pointing to the fact that of all the Slavs, the Serbs, along with the Bulgarians, were the only ones to retain the original zadrugas (extended families) up until the 20th century. Terminology is not uniform and may differ from place to place.
