Lesson 1-A: The alphabet

Il cirillico è the alphabet used to write various Slavic languages \u200b\u200b(the
Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Romanian, Serbian and Ukrainian
) and other non-Slavic languages \u200b\u200bspoken in the territories of the former Soviet Union and
in today's Russian Federation.
is the third official alphabet of the EU.
The Cyrillic alphabet is also used for some non-Slavic languages \u200b\u200bbut not
former USSR, such as Mongolian.
Incidentally, contrary to what everyone believes, NOT
the Cyrillic alphabet was invented by St. Cyril, who with his brother Methodius created the Glagolitic alphabet
(first Slavic alphabet, used now only in certain liturgical books
Dalmatian ), but è stato inventato, probabilmente, da San
Clemente, o comunque dalla scuola di Ocrida, vera culla della cultura slava.
Normalmente si dice che l'alfabeto russo sia composto da 33 lettere (per il cirillico in uso in
russo, almeno), considerando "e" e "ë" come due lettere separate. Di fatto,
però, i "due puntini" sulla "e" si usano solo nel dizionario, nei libri
delle elementari e in pochi casi in cui sorge ambiguità, per il resto di
norma di sottintende, pertanto alcuni considerano la "ë" una semplice
variante della "e" (un po' come una lettera accentata in italiano) e dicono
che l'alfabeto russo ha 32 lettere.
Di queste 32 solo 5 sono identiche in our letters (in italics even less): A

(pronounced O when it is otherwise like us to tonic)



K M O





T are equal to ours and are pronounced in same way.
Then there are the letters that have the same shape of our
letters but are pronounced differently, and these are:

B - usually read as "v", but often as "f"
(Like all Russian consonants or so, has two pronunciations.
that community and "v", the other end has a speech or in certain phonetic contexts.
This is a common rule that applies to 15 consonants.)

E - bed as "s" of "yesterday"

P - is our "r"

Y - is our "u"

C - is our "s"

H - is our "n"

X - is an aspirated sound like "ch" in German "Bach" or "j" English

All other characters are completely different from what we know
. Those who have studied greek probably recognize the "F" and
"P" evil other letters are just weird. (The "C" is of Greek origin, to be exact in greek archaic
called "lunate sigma" and was a graphic variant of the letter sigma.)

Ok .. said that you can see all the letters of the alphabet
