I wonder how Serbian people would refer to the two written versions of the Serbian language:
- Serbian written with the Cyrillic alphabet and
- Serbian written with the Latin alphabet.
Would for instance "Cirilica srpski" and "Latina srpski" be correct?
I need short and concise names for these two language versions to use in a list of language names (endonyms) similar to the following:
Afrikaans
***Cyrillic Serbian***
***Latin Serbian***
Dansk
Deutsch
English (UK)

Svenska
Thank you.

It would be best to use the respective alphabet in the name itself:
српски (ћирилица)
srpski (latinica)
The language names are not capitalized in Serbian, so you could use lower case here.
српски (ћирилица)

is misleading, to avoid confusing those who don't know much about Serbian or even the whole Europe, it's better to put:
Serbian (in Cyrillic script)
Serbian (in Latin script)
same as
"Arabic Turkish" to mean "Turkish (in Arabic script)" would be a proper brain-twister for most people if you had to use this option for old texts in Turkish written before Kemal Atatürk's reforms.
