A road sign in Serbia using cyrillic and romanization

The romanization or latinization of Serbian is the representation of the Serbian language using Latin letters. Serbian is natively written in its own Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, a variation of Cyrillic.

However, Gaj's Latin alphabet (pronounced like "Guy" in English) is also used in Serbia as the second official alphabet and the two are directly and completely interchangeable.

The Latin variation of the Serbian alphabet is identical to those used in Bosnian and Croatian language.
