The Glagolitic alphabet was the initial script of the liturgical language Old Church Slavonic and became, together with the Greek uncial script, the basis of the Cyrillic script.

The earliest known alphabet in the wider sense is the Wadi el-Hol script, believed to be an abjad, which through its successor Phoenician is the ancestor of modern alphabets, including Arabic, Greek, Latin ( via the Old Italic alphabet ), Cyrillic ( via the Greek alphabet ) and Hebrew ( via Aramaic ).

The largest alphabets in the narrow sense include Kabardian and Abkhaz ( for Cyrillic ), with 58 and 56 letters, respectively, and Slovak ( for the Latin script ), with 46.

The Glagolitic alphabet was gradually superseded in later centuries by the Cyrillic script, developed around the Preslav Literary School, Bulgaria in the beginning of the 10th century.

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.

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

All these languages use the Cyrillic script, but with particular modifications.

The alphabet arose from the Phoenician script, and was in turn the basis of the Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, and many other writing systems.

At the end of the 9th century, one of these students of Methodius who had settled in Preslav ( Bulgaria ) created the Cyrillic script, which almost entirely replaced the Glagolitic during the Middle Ages.

Cyrillic is one of the most widely used modern alphabetic scripts, and is notable for its use in Slavic languages and also for other languages within the former Soviet Union.

The Glagolitic alphabet is believed to have been created by Saints Cyril and Methodius, while the Cyrillic alphabet was invented by the Bulgarian scholar Clement of Ohrid, who was their disciple.

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

One, the ABCDE order later used in Phoenician, has continued with minor changes in Hebrew, Greek, Armenian, Gothic, Cyrillic, and Latin ; the other, HMĦLQ, was used in southern Arabia and is preserved today in Ethiopic.

:* The acute accent " ́" above any vowel in Cyrillic alphabets is used in dictionaries, books for children and foreign learners to indicate the word stress, it also can be used for disambiguation of similarly spelled words with different lexical stresses.

The Cyrillic alphabet is derived from the Greek alphabet, with ( at least 10 ) letters peculiar to Slavic languages being derived from the Glagolitic.

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.

A corresponding term is sometimes used in Slavic languages, in Serbian is otadžbina or отаџбина in Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, Bosnian Otadžbina ( Отаџбина ), Macedonian татковина ( tatkovina ), Bulgarian татковина ( tatkovina ) as well as otechestvo, Czech otčina ( although the normal Czech term for " homeland " is vlast ), in Polish ojczyzna ( besides macierz " motherland "), Russian otechestvo ( отечество ) or otchizna ( отчизна ) ( although rodina " motherland " is more common ).

In conjunction with another disciple of Saints Cyril and Methodius, Saint Naum, he created a flourishing Bulgarian cultural center around Ohrid, where over 3, 000 pupils were taught in the Glagolitic and Cyrillic script in what is now called Ohrid Literary School.

* In Russian cursive, as well as in some others based on the Cyrillic script ( for example, Macedonian ), a lowercase Т looks like a lowercase m, and a macron is often used to distinguish it from Ш, which looks like a lowercase w ( see Т ).

Its descendant script, the Cyrillic, is still used by many languages today.

In the Cyrillic alphabet used for the Belarusian language, ‹ Ў › is pronounced like English / w /.

* June 29 or June 30 – The first document is fully written in Romanian: the letter of Neacşu, a trader from Câmpulung, to Johannes Benkner, the mayor of Braşov, warning that the Ottoman Empire is preparing its troops to cross into Wallachia and Transylvania ; the script used is Romanian Cyrillic.

In the Moksha language there is even a voiceless palatal approximant ( written in Cyrillic as < йх > jh ) along with and ( written as < лх > lh and < рх > rh ).

The individual paper packets, hermetically sealed metal ' spam ' cans, and wooden shipping crates were all distinctly marked Snaiperskie (" Sniper ") in Cyrillic.

In the Soviet Union a version of the 6V6GT was produced since the late 1940s which appears to be a close copy of the 1940s Sylvania-issue 6V6GT-initially under its American designation ( in both Latin and Cyrillic lettering ), but later, after USSR had adopted its own system of designations, the tube was being marked 6P6S ( 6П6С in Cyrillic.

Cards made available in Cyrillic when Ninth Edition was marketed in Russia also were black-bordered ; this marked the first time a new language had been printed for the game since Simplified Chinese was added to Fifth Edition.

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.

Letters that arose from Beta include the Roman letter ⟨ B ⟩ and the Cyrillic letters ⟨ Б ⟩ and ⟨ В ⟩.

Ef ( Ф ф ; italics: < span style =" font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif ; font-size: larger "> Ф ф </ span >) is a Cyrillic letter, commonly representing the voiceless labiodental fricative, like the pronunciation of ⟨ f ⟩ in " fill ".

The Cyrillic letter Ef is romanized as ⟨ f ⟩.

An alternative symbol is ⟨ š ⟩, an s with háček, which is used in the Americanist phonetic notation and the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet, as well as in the scientific and ISO 9 transliterations of Cyrillic.

This is why the earliest ( up to the 13th century ) shape of Cyrillic ⟨ И ⟩ was ⟨ H ⟩.

In the Early Cyrillic alphabet there was little or no distinction between the letter ⟨ И ⟩ and the letter ⟨ І ⟩ which was derived from the Greek letter Iota ( Ι ι ).

Originally, Cyrillic ⟨ И ⟩ had the shape identical to the capital Greek letter Eta ⟨ Η ⟩.

Later, the middle stroke was turned counterclockwise resulting in the modern form looking like a mirrored capital Latin letter N ⟨ N ⟩ ( this is why ⟨ И ⟩ is used in faux Cyrillic typography ).

In the Cyrillic Serbian alphabet ⟨ и ⟩ is the tenth letter of the alphabet and in Serbian it represents, like the i in machine or i in bill.

Cyrillic alphabets of non-Slavic languages have additional ⟨ и ⟩- based letters, like ⟨⟩ or ⟨⟩.

The letter Sha ⟨ Ш ⟩, which represents the unvoiced counterpart of Zhe, is one of several Cyrillic letters which were derived directly from Hebrew letters.

The shape of Ze is very similar to the Arabic numeral three ⟨ 3 ⟩ and the Cyrillic letter E ⟨ Э ⟩.

Coincidentally, the Cyrillic letter I ⟨ И ⟩, which looks like a reversed Latin ⟨ N ⟩, was derived from the Greek letter Eta ⟨ Η ⟩ while the Cyrillic letter En ⟨ Н ⟩ was derived from the Greek letter Nu ⟨ Ν ⟩ which looks like a reversed Cyrillic ⟨ И ⟩.
