It was very difficult to find any documention of this - on general basis - on the internet. Without Babel and LaTeX, I would have been lost! I have also tried out the other slavic languages according to Babel: Belarussian (minus 5 letters: ¨¸,É,¡,Û,Ü) Ukrainian (minus 2 letters:¥,Ü) and Bulgarian (the Babel author exmplains the Bulgarian omissions very well). The only curious thing in this, is why Ukrainian exludes no more than 2 letters ;-) And, I did not mention Serbian, but I found a serbian package, srtex, . And according to this, the Serbian custom is to use the _full_ alphabet. I also checked a lot of PDF and HTML documents online - which basically confirmed this. The tendence in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Bulgarian seems to be to only use the «old» cyrillic letters. Therefore I suspect that Serbian might have had a simililar custom earlier - which perhaps is still use somewhere? So if someone has some spesific information about Serbian enumeration, I would appreciate it.
