Like all regional populations across the Balkans, the Užičans have their own traditional costume, and their own folk music; the sound of which is transitional between the music of Šumadija - central Serbia - and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Užice as a city is one of a number of settlements in the former Yugoslavia to have once boasted its own state (the Republic of Užice). As such, their traditional dialect is noted as one of the key elements of the central South-Slavic diasystem. Its incorporation into Serbia (in or out of Yugoslavia) however, is not damaging to the people's culture since all are agreed that they are Serbians, and that their local custom forms a part of the wider Balkan Slavic continuum.
