Arebica (عربٖىڄا ,آره‌بٖىڄا; Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Аребица) is a variant of the Perso-Arabic script used to write the Serbo-Croatian language. It was used mainly between the 16th and 20th 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. Apart from literature, Arebica was used in religious schools and administration, though in much less use than other scripts. It originated in the 16th century in Ottoman Bosnia and was significantly reformed in the 20th century by the Bosnian imam Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević.
