ЎТФ?This user is learning the Cyrillic Alphabet for some reason, but not Russian.





(Before MZMcBride or anyone else deletes this for being ""Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia"", learning cyrillic allowed me to do this, and if other editors pick something up from this page, other articles may be improved.)

Good Job! You found my barely-hidden page.

I decided to make a page about learning the Cyrillic alphabet.

Mostly out of boredom, partially to practice formatting skills and find another use for that userbox. (BTW, if you hadn't worked it out, the ЎТФ? is as close as I could get to WTF?)

Note: No letter will be mentioned twice in the categories below, eg. A could go in both the Latin and Greek categories, but is only in the Latin (i decided to get the easy/boring ones out of the way first)

Letters that are the same as Latin

edit

A, E, J, К, M, O, T

Letters that are the same as Greek

edit
  • Ф - equivalent to greek Φ

Letters that look like a Latin letter, but are not the same

edit
  • B is the cyrillic V,
  • Ѕ
  • Н derived from the greek N (which is the same as the latin)
  • Р the cyrillic R, easy to remember because of CCCP (it stands for *republics)
  • С cyrillic S, as above
  • У
  • Х kind of a "Kh" or "Ch" sound. The first letter of Christ in greek and Russian. part of the Labarum along with P

Letters that are kind of similar to either Latin, Greek or both

edit

Letters that should be in the Cyrillic Alphabet
