	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Cyrillic alphabet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The plan of the alphabet is derived from the early Cyrillic alphabet, itself a derivative of the Glagolitic alphabet, a ninth century uncial cursive usually credited to two brothers from Thessaloniki, Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius.
		The theory is further supported by the fact that the Cyrillic alphabet almost completely replaced the Glagolitic in north-eastern 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.
		Cyrillic uppercase and lowercase letter-forms are not as differentiated as in Latin typography.

	Mukel Vfdyad’s New Book on Mongolia at Registan.net
		I swear to God the use of cyrillic characters by publishers should be outlawed until they get it right.
