Summary/Abstract: Most Croatian spelling manuals to date do not specify the rules for transcribing Hebrew. The only exception is the spelling manual of Badurina, Marković and Mićanović. No spelling manual of the Croatian language has yet set out transcription rules for Yiddish. As we come across Hebrew and Yiddish words more often today outside of the usual corpus conveyed to us by the translation of the Bible, the article brings suggestions for transcription (not transliteration!) rules for both languages.
