 | | The Cyrillic alphabet (pronounced, also called azbuka, from the old name of the first two letters) is an alphabet used for several East and South Slavic languagesâ”Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Russian, Rusyn, Serbian, and Ukrainianâ”and many other languages of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe. |
 | | Although Cyril is almost certainly not the author of the Cyrillic alphabet, his contributions to the Glagolitic and hence to the Cyrillic alphabet are still recognised, as the latter is named after him. |
 | | Bringhurst (2002) writes "in Cyrillic, the difference between normal lower case and small caps is more subtle than it is in the Latin or Greek alphabets,..." (p 32) and "in most Cyrillic faces, the lower case is close in color and shape to Latin small caps" (p 107). |
