* Er, alternate spelling for Yer ( Ъ / ъ ), the hard-sign letter of the Cyrillic alphabet

The letter yer ( Ъ, ъ, italics < span style =" font-family: times, ' Times New Roman ', serif ; font-size: larger "> Ъ, ъ </ span >) of the Cyrillic script, also spelled jer or er, is known as the hard sign ( твёрдый знак ) in the modern Russian and Rusyn alphabets and as er golyam ( ер голям, " big er ") in the Bulgarian alphabet.

Ă / ă is also used in the transliteration of Bulgarian letter Ъ / ъ in the Slovak, Czech, Romanian, Estonian, Swedish and Finnish languages.

Its companion is the front yer, now known as the soft sign in Russian and as er malək ( ер малък, " small er ") in Bulgarian ( Ь, ь ), which was originally also a reduced vowel, more frontal than the ъ, and which is today used to mark the palatalization of consonants in all of the Slavic languages written in the Cyrillic script, except for Serbian and Macedonian, where it is not used although its traces can be seen in the letters њ and љ.

Like many Cyrillic letters, originally the letter yery was formed from a ligature: — formed from Yer ⟨ ъ ⟩ and ⟨ і ⟩ ( formerly written either dotless or with two dots ) or Izhe (⟨ и ⟩, whose former letterform resembled ⟨ н ⟩).

Moreover, Cyrillic у, which is mostly rendered as Latin < u >, is sometimes rendered instead as < ou > to distinguish it from ъ.

The new official Bulgarian system does not allow for unambiguous mapping back into Cyrillic, since unlike most other systems it does not distinguish between ъ and а ( both rendered as a ).

In the Old Church Slavonic language, the yer was a vowel letter, indicating the so-called " reduced vowel ": ъ =, ь = in the conventional transcription.

In modern Russian the letter " ъ " is called the hard sign ( твёрдый знак tvjordyj znak ).

To make the point that the publication had outlasted the Soviet regime, " Kommersant " is spelled in Russian with a terminal hard sign ( ъ ) – a letter that is silent at the end of a word in modern Russian, and was thus abolished by the post-revolution Russian spelling reform.

* the letter ъ, which in Bulgarian ( unlike the Russian language, where it is known as the " hard sign ") denotes a special schwa-like vowel.

) Cyrillic is basically a true alphabet, but has syllabic letters for ( я, е, ю ); Coptic has a letter for.

Letters that arose from Alpha include the Latin A and the Cyrillic letter А.

* Be ( Cyrillic ), a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet

Until 1945, Bulgarian orthography did not reveal this alternation and used the original Old Slavic Cyrillic letter yat (), which was commonly called двойно е ( dvoyno e ) at the time, to express the historical yat vowel or at least root vowels displaying the ya – e alternation.

For example, the Cyrillic letter Р is usually written as R in the Latin script, although in many cases it is not as simple as a one-for-one equivalence.

Letters that arose from Eta include the Latin H and the Cyrillic letter И.

Eta was also borrowed with the sound value of into the Cyrillic script, where it gave rise to the Cyrillic letter И.

Unlike Cyrillic numerals, which inherited their numeric value from the corresponding Greek letter ( see Greek numerals ), Glagolitic letters were assigned values based on their native alphabetic order.

For instance, the letter yu Ⱓ is thought to have perhaps originally had the sound / u /, but was displaced by the adoption of an ow ligature Ⱆ under the influence of later Cyrillic.

The following table lists each letter in its modern order, showing an image of the letter ( round variant ), the corresponding modern Cyrillic letter, the approximate sound transcribed with the IPA, the name, and suggestions for its origin.

Letters that arose from this letter include the Roman I and J and the Cyrillic І ( І, і ), Yi ( Ї, ї ), Je ( Ј, ј ), and iotified letters ( e. g. Yu ( Ю, ю )).

Letters in other alphabets that stemmed from lambda include the Latin L and the Cyrillic letter El ( Л, л ).

* О о: Cyrillic letter O

* Psi ( Cyrillic ) ( Ѱ, ѱ ), a letter of the early Cyrillic alphabet, adopted from Greek

In phonetics, rhotic consonants, also called tremulants or " R-like " sounds, are liquid consonants that are traditionally represented orthographically by symbols derived from the Greek letter rho, including ⟨ R ⟩, ⟨ r ⟩ from the Latin script and ⟨ Р ⟩, ⟨ p ⟩ from the Cyrillic script.
