Croatia is strongly Roman Catholic.When Pope John Paul II visited Croatia, 2 million people showed up tp hear him. The country has only 4.5 million, so that is quite a turn out. The Croatian language is Slavic the family of languages including Russia and Eastern Europe. The alphabet used is determined mostly by which religion converted which area. All those converted to Greek Orthodox use the cyrillic alphabet like Russia uses.(This is why I spent most of my time in Moscow completely lost.) All those converted by Roman Catholics use the same alphabet as Europe and the US.
