Usage notes

English “Yugoslavian” or “Southern Slavic” as an attributive adjective usually correponds in Latvian to dienvidslāvu, the genitive plural form of dienvidslāvs. The adjective dienvidslāvisks is commonly used as a predicate (“this is Yugoslavian”), or in its adverbial form dienvidslāviski.
