Best Answer

The country formerly known as Yugoslavia was a Federal Republic consisting of a number of states which have since broken away from each other and become their own autonomous countries.

Yugoslavia was populated by mostly Slavic people who used an alphabet other than the Roman alphabet, such as we do.

Yugoslavia roughly translates to "Southern Slav Land".

In the Cyrillic alphabet, the sound "YU" is written as "JU", but is pronounced "YU".

Yugoslavia is an English rendering of Jugoslavia.
