Cyrillic-Latin table

I'd say a better way to do this would be the following:

Cyrillic to Latin conversion

Cyrillic	Latin	English pronounciation
Аа	Aa	A ('ah')
Бб	Bb	B
Вв	Vv	V
Гг	Gg	G
Дд	Dd	D
Ђђ	Đđ	J (like in 'Jeans' but with an indian accent)
Ее	Ee	E ('eh')
Жж	Žž	Zh (like the G in 'Deluge')
Зз	Zz	Z
Ии	Ii	EE (like in 'Speed')
Јј	Jj	Y (like in 'Yellow')
Кк	Kk	K
Лл	Ll	L
Љљ	Lj lj	LY (compound letter of L and Y)
Мм	Mm	M
Нн	Nn	N
Њњ	Nj nj	NY (similar to Lj, like spanish Ñ)
Оо	Oo	O ('oh')
Пп	Pp	P
Рр	Rr	R (rolled)
Сс	Ss	S
Тт	Tt	T
Ћћ	Ćć	Tch (like in 'Switch')
Уу	Uu	Oo (like in 'Food')
Фф	Ff	F
Хх	Hh	H
Цц	Cc	Ts (like in 'Cats')
Чч	Čč	Ch (like in 'Children')
Џџ	Dž dž	J (like in 'Jeans' but with an american accent)
Шш	Šš	Sh (like in 'Shush')

You may modify this as you see fit, but this is just the basic idea. --SrbinKrajisnik (talk) 13:57, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Also, I apologise for the inclusion of "J in Jeans with an indian accent" and "J in Jeans with an american accent", it's just hard to find the sound that 'Ђ' makes and to make it distinct from "Џ". --SrbinKrajisnik (talk) 14:00, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

The Indian Accent comment

I see what you're getting at here, though I believe the more politically correct way to say it is that it is a lower "J" or sharp "J" sound. I recommend looking at other Serbian language learning sites and see what their assessments are.
