Gaj's Latin alphabet (Croatian: abeceda, latinica, or gajica) is the form of the Latin script used for Serbo-Croatian (Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Montenegrin). It was devised by Croatian linguist Ljudevit Gaj in 1835, based on Jan Hus's Czech alphabet. A slightly reduced version is used as the script of the Slovene language, and a modified version is used for romanization of the Macedonian language.
