		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 (including Mongolian) of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe.
		Every language using the cyrillic alphabet uses slightly altered versions to accommodate its own unique features (similar to the latin alpabet, which is also slightly different for almost every language that uses it).
		Upright Cyrillic lowercase letters are essentially small capitals, with the exception of a few forms such as "a" and "e" which adopted western lowercase shapes (although a good Cyrillic typeface will still include a separate small-caps font).
