Does anyone know of any websites that have common prayers in Slavonic and written in Latinica?

Thanks!
 
The Metropolitan Cantor Institute of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh (Ruthenian) has some publications on its website that provide liturgical prayers in Latinica. There is a complete Divine Liturgy text, and common prayers are also found at the back of the MCI’s Byzantine Hymnal.

Can you post a link please? I am looking at the site. I see the English texts, but I can’t find the Latinica.
 
By the way, what do you call “latinica”? Is it “latin alphabet”?

Yes, “Latinica” is a term for “Latin Alphabet” in Slavic languages. 🙂 There are many variants of the Latin Alphabet. I said “Latinica,” so it would be clear that I meant one of the Latin Alphabets commonly used for Slavic languages, as opposed to, for example, a transliteration of the Slavonic into the English variant of the Latin Alphabet. Why? Because Slavic variants of the Latin Alphabet are designed so letters/spellings more accurately reflect the pronunciation of Slavic languages. Sometimes I have trouble with transliterations into the English variant of the Latin Alphabet, because it is more fluid due to English not being a phonetic language, so how someone spells a word may be different from how I would, making pronunciation not very straightforward to me. 😛
