 Cyrillic alphabet Did You Mean cyrillic_alphabet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The Cyrillic alphabet (or azbuka, from the old name of the first letters) is an alphabet used to write six natural Slavic languages (Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian) and many other languages of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe.
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 cred 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.

 Yat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is significant that from the earliest texts, there is considerable confusion between the yat and the iotated a (Cyrillic ıа).
Thus, the letter was dropped in various orthography reforms: in Serbian with the reform of Vuk Karadzic, which was later used for Macedonian, in Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian roughly with the October revolution, and in Bulgarian as late as 1945.
The letter is no longer used in the standard modern orthography of any of the Slavic languages written with the Cyrillic alphabet, although it survives in liturgical and church texts written in the Russian recension of Church Slavonic, and has since 1991 found some favour in advertising.

 Sha
Sha (Ш, ш) is the 25th letter of the Cyrillic alphabet.
This sound is described as a voiceless postalveolar fricative and postalveolar fricatives are the major reason why the Glagolitic and later the Cyrillic alphabet were invented because Slavic languages are rich on postalveolar fricatives and you cannot write these sounds with a simple Roman or Greek letter without diacritics.
Most letters of Cyrillic script have been derived from Greek and as there was no Greek sign for the Sha sound, Glagolitic Sha was adopted.

 Ya (Cyrillic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ya (Я) is the 32nd and last letter of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet.
Over time, phonetic distinction between IA and Ѧ was lost, and when Peter I introduced his "civil script" in 1708, the single letter Ya (Я) substituted for both.
So, Я is a late addition to the Cyrillic alphabet.

Sha (Ш, ш) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, representing the consonant sound /ʃ/ or /ʃʲ/.
This is equivalent to sh in English, ch in French, sch in German, ş in Turkish, or sz in Polish.
Sha has its earliest ties in Hebrew Shin (ש) and when Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius invented Glagolitsa, Sha already possessed its current form and has been the only letter being that permanent in its form.

 The Old Slavic Alphabet and Pronunciation
The Old Slavic or Cyrillic alphabet is traditionally ascribed to St. Cyril (827-869) who was was sent together with his brother Methodius on a mission by the Byzantine empire to evangelize the Slavs of Great Moravia in their own language.
Some scholars believe that St. Cyril invented the Cyrillic alphabet also, but did not use it during his mission in Greater Moravia lest be accused in promoting the Byzantine influence in an area of enhanced Latin-German interests.
From Bulgaria the Cyrillic alphabet spread to Serbia, Russia and the Rumanian principalities (Wallachia and Moldova); in the latter two countries it was used till 1861, when the Latin alphabet was introduced.

 UCS generic collation locale -- rationale for Cyrillic
The order given fo the Cyrillic script in ISO 14651 are based on the same principles which are used to order the Latin script.
Although Cyrillic letters are, by convention, considered separate at level 1 of the sort, nevertheless, in order to be consisitent with the ordering of the Latin and Greek scripts in 14651, similar characters are ranked at level 1 as though they had accents at level 3.
There is a lot of literature using the Cyrillic script which would require the Old Church Slavonic ordering, and I felt that it was best (and less contentious) to stick to the layout of the prototypical Cyrillic script for ISO 14651.

The archaic Greek characters no longer in use in Cyrillic are still treated as Cyrillic letters, rather than unified with their Greek progenitors; at least some of them were used in normal Slavonic words, and typographically they developed differently from Standard Greek (e.g.
In most fonts, they look rather more old fashioned than normal Cyrillic; that is because most of these characters were restricted to Old Church Slavonic, which is traditionally printed in a typeface close to what was in the manuscripts, rather than modernising it (i.e.
But as I've discussed, it's not like those scripts are actually being used by Gothicists and Italicists anyway; the patrimony they're hooking up their objects of study to are Germanic and Italian—which are Latin script territory.

 Slavic Ciphers - Numbers (Slovyans'ki Tsyfry)
When Greek uncial script was expanded with the needed letters to create the (Old) Slavic (Cyrillic) alphabet, the Greek numerical pattern was adopted, but now in a Cyrillic guise.
To differentiate the numerals from ordinary letters, a bar (titlo) was placed over the letters in question.
This Slavic system has a Slavic face because the obsolete Greek letters (still used as numerals) were replaced by Cyrillic Slavic letters that designated sounds not found in Byzantine Greek.
