Summary/Abstract: In the old Croatian Latin Script different phonemes and phoneme strings are denoted by the same graphic means. This creates a number of problems for transcription (i. e. modern transliteration). Thus the phonemes c-č, h-k, i-j-g, l-j, n-z, s-z-š-ž, u-v and phoneme strings ij, ji, iji as well as phonemes occurring at word boundaries are written in the same way. Problems occur in transcribing of syllabic r and l as well as in some other individual cases. Dubious examples from RiZ, ŠM, CS, KL, ŽSO, VHM, ADM, MOf, the works which were the subject of the authors research, are analysed in the paper.
