	\| Cyrillic script glyphs \| Typophile
		I’m working on a script font with Cyrillic characters and in perusing existing scripts I’ve noticed that some letters don’t use the Cyrillic letterform / glyph shape and instead have a Latin form.
		The most blatent example is uni0414 which is a stacked form in Cyrillic and in script fonts is frequently a Latin D instead.
		Cyrillic script forms have their own history and logic, parallel to latin in some respects, different in others.

	Writing Mongol in Uighur Script
		Script is written in a continuous pen stroke for the length of a word, with accents added after the word is complete, and requires that each letter accommodate the letters before and after it.
		This is a script alphabet, which means the pen should write a continuous line, for the most part, from the beginning to the end of the word.
		The Mongol Script was adopted from Uighur in 1204.

		The theory is supported by the fact that the Cyrillic alphabet almost completely replaced the Glagolitic in northeastern Bulgaria as early as the end of the tenth century, whereas the Ohrid Literary Schoolâ"where Saint Clement workedâ"continued to use the Glagolitic until the twelfth century.
		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.
		Cyrillic uppercase and lowercase letter-forms are not as differentiated as in Latin typography.

	Cyrillic alphabet Information
		The theory is supported by the fact that the Cyrillic alphabet almost completely replaced the Glagolitic in northeastern Bulgaria as early as the end of the tenth century, whereas the Ohrid Literary School—where Saint Clement worked, continued to use the Glagolitic until the twelfth century.
		Among the reasons for the replacement of the Glagolithic with the Cyrillic alphabet is the greater simplicity and ease of use of the latter and its closeness with the Greek alphabet, which had been well known in the First Bulgarian Empire.
		The Cyrillic alphabet is still used most often for the Uzbek language, although the government has adopted a version of the Latin alphabet to replace it.

		Since 1941, Cyrillic script has been the primary script used in the country of Mongolia, while Mongolian script is the primary script used in China.
		It is often required, when matching languages, to select a subset of documents written in a particular script.

	Cyrillic in Unicode
		Clement of Ohrid invented the Cyrillic script as a more legible version of the Glagolitic alphabet invented by Slavonic monks Cyrill and Methodius (who were brothers and his teachers) in Macedonia about 863 A.D. Glagolitic was an encrypted Greek alphabet with extensions for Slavic sounds.
		Cyrillic script spread and transformed into its current Romanized shape called Grazhdanka under Russian Tsar Peter the Great, and is used by more than 70 languages in Europe and western Asia.
		The Cyrillic characters are located in the upper half of the byte codes (128 through 255 or A0 through FF hexadecimal).

	UTN #26: On the Encoding of Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Han
		Mere historic relatedness is insufficient reason to unify scripts, however, as Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic can ultimately all trace their roots back to Phoenician, and Phoenician itself is then related to Aramaic and all its descendants, from Hebrew and Arabic to farflung outliers like Sogdian, Uighur, and even Mongolian.
		Cyrillic is more closely related to Greek, and in medieval manuscripts there is a fair amount of overlap in Greek and early Cyrillic writing conventions, but by the time of the development of modern typography, Greek script and Cyrillic script are clearly distinct, and their current manifestations in print usage are very different.
		And rather than simply adopting the script at one point and then evolving it off in some independent direction, the typical pattern for each of these cultures was over the centuries to keep adding to the store of Han ideographs they used by continued borrowing of large new sets of them directly from China.

		Traditionally, the invention of the Cyrillic alphabet is attributed to Saint Cyril and his brother Methodius who evangelized the Southern Slavs in the middle of the 9th century AD.
		The inventors of Cyrillic script wanted to create a means for recording religious texts translated into the Slavic tongue of Moravia.
		While the primary Cyrillic letters served well as the basis of the pan-Slavic alphabet, the differences in phonologies among these languages had led to small differences in the repertoire and use of Cyrillic.

		Cyril and Methodius developed an earlier version of the Slav script called Glagolitsa, it was St.
		Cyril and Methodius and their discliples, the Slav script, and the Bulgarian culture.
		Since the number of Cyrillic letters is not too big, the typical approach is to use some of the numerical (ASCII) codes between 128 and 255 to represent capital and lower-case letters of the Cyrillic script.

		The appeal says that the Cyrillic alphabet is disappearing from the public and cultural life in Serbia and Montenegro.
		The eponymous Cyrillic alphabet, which was based on the Greek uncial writing of the 9th century, has been traditionally attributed to Cyril's work.
		However, it is unclear whether Cyril himself was the originator of the script or whether his later followers may have devised it.

	Uniqueness in the heart of Europe - Glagolitic Script
		However, by the 10th century a simpler script was introduced – the Cyrillic script or "cirilica" - which is to this day the official script of Russia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
		We know that they had already undertaken an important and successful mission to Khazars and that they were fluent speakers of their native Macedonian and that Constantine was a learned man, a linguist, who had been given the honorary title Philosopher.
		They were great teachers, who brought to the Slav peoples, together with Christianity and a new concept of the world, the written word, a pride in their own tongue and an awareness of themselves, their language and their identity, separate from the Latin based tradition of the Western Europe.

	Coptic script compared with Greek and Cyrillic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		It has been suggested that the Coptic script be de-unified from the Greek script in UCS, a suggestion which I support.
		While the Coptic and Greek scripts are closely related, they are not identical, and Coptic is to my knowledge never printed in the kinds of normal Times- and Helvetica-style fonts used for Greek.
		Compare this with the "Gaelic script" and the "Fraktur script", which have correctly been unified with the "Roman script" -- they are all proper variants of the Latin script, and languages like Irish or German, which have been written in Gaelic and Fraktur fonts, are also commonly written in Roman fonts.

	Multiscript Records
		One script may be considered the primary script of the data content of the record, even though other scripts are also used for data content.
		All data is contained in regular fields and script varies depending on the requirements of the data.
		This last example is a multiscript record that follows Model B. In this example the language of cataloging is Russian (Cyrillic script) and the bibliographic item is mixed Russian language (Cyrillic script) and English language (Latin script) text.

	Croatian Cyrillic Script
		This Script was in use among the Croats in Dalmatia (especially in the Split and Makarska hinterland), in the Dubrovnik region and in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
		It seems to be appropriate to call this version of the Cyrillic script by the national name of those who used it most and who left the greatest number of written documents, as in the case of other national versions (Bulgarian Cyrillic, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Serbian, Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Russian).

		The cataloging agency provides transliteration of some Cyrillic script data into the Latin script and prefers to carry only Latin script in the regular fields, with Cyrillic script data in occurrences of field 880.
		This example is a multiscript record that follows Model B. In this example the language of cataloging is English (Latin script), thus the notes are in English, however, the established form of the name in the authority record and source citations are given in the original vernacular (Cyrillic) script.

		You have to translate that character into the equivalent English alphabet according to the Latin Transliteration method that is used from the Russian language for English speakers.
		Although the pronunciation rules of the Cyrillic alphabet are usually precise, you will note some special letters which combine the sounds of two or even three letters.

		One problem you may run into is that fonts work with specific script ranges.
		All the keyboards we've found, including the one installed as part of OS9 are in the Cyrillic script range and can't use Latin script range fonts.
		You can tell when a font is in the wrong range because selecting the font will switch you away from the Cyrillic keyboard, and selecting the keyboard will switch you away from the font.

		Not surprisingly, many languages that were part of the former Soviet Union are written in Cyrillic or use Cyrillic as one of the possible available scripts.
		Many of these are actually Turkic languages (related to Turkish) or other languages not related to Russian and use unique Cyrillic letters not commonly needed for the Slavic languages.
		Some languages in this region can be written in either Cyrillic, the Roman alphabet or even the Arabic script depending on the location of a particular speaker community.

		Over the course of the centuries the Cyrillic script was spread and transformed and it was modernized into its current Romanized shape (Grazhdanka) under Tsar Peter the Great.
		Demos company started porting Cyrillic support to PC Unixes like Xenix in the late 1980s and designed a new Russian KOI-8 code page which later came to be known as KOI8-R with the dotted ë at its position from the first DIS-6937-8/DIS-8859-5 draft and all non-Russian letters scraped and replaced by block graphics.

	Turkic Languages on the Web
		For all scripts, the Turkic sound system required the addition of special characters, therefore requiring special technical support regardless of the script used.
		In addition, many governments from the former Soviet Union are planning or have implemented a switch from Cyrillic to the Roman alphabet.
		For some texts, it may be necessary to use Unicode entity codes for Cyrillic to enter letters which may not be available on any keyboards.

		Russia uses the Cyrillic script which was developed by St Cyril and St Methodius who developed it by using characters from Greek and Coptic.
		When organisations, such as SIL, are involved in developing new scripts they usually follow the Latin alphabet and often supplement it with characters from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) or use diacritics.

	Croatian Glagolitic Script
		It was in fact the Arabic script used for the Croatian language and it constitutes the so-called Adjami or Aljamiado literature, similarly as in Spain.
		Investigations of the oldest forms of the Glagolitic Script performed by Dr. Marica Cuncic in her Ph.D. thesis (1985) have led to the discovery of triangular form of the Glagolitic (with triangular shapes occurring in most of the letters), dating from the 9th and 10th century.
		The 16th century represents already the beginning of the fall of this script, which is closely related to the Ottoman occupation of large parts of Croatia, and consequently, the enormous material impoverishment of the Croats.
