The Cyrillic alphabet was developed in the 10th century so that the newly christened inhabitants of the First Bulgarian Empire could write religious texts in an alphabet much better suited for their Slavic language. The Greek language had far fewer sounds than the Slavic dialects of the time, thus the Greek alphabet could not properly accommodate a Slavic language. Later, when other Slavic peoples converted to Christianity, they adopted this new Slavic alphabet.
The Language was called dumfries and was very commonly used within the slavic world
The Ukrainian is a cyrillic alphabet, not latin, so it is similar to other Eastern Slavic alphabets (including Russian). While many letters are similar, most slavic languages have letters that are unique to their alphabets. The Russian alphabet includes such letters as Ё, Ъ, Ы, Э, the Ukranian one doesn't include these letters. On the other hand, Ukranian alphabet includes such letters as I, Ґ, Є, Ї, the Russian one doesn't.
The Cyrillic alphabet originated in the first Bulgarian Empire, during the 10th Century. It was used to translate the Bible and other texts into the Slavic language.
It is true that, when the Viking came into Russian territory they mixed with the Slavic and that is how the Russian state was created.
The alphabet used by many Slavic languages, known as the Cyrillic alphabet, was invented by the brothers Cyril and Methodius. They were Byzantine Christian missionaries who created the alphabet in the 9th century to help in their efforts to spread Christianity among the Slavic-speaking people.
They were brothers and 9th century missionaries. They were the principal Christian missionaries among the Slavic peoples of the Great Moravia and Pannonia, introducing Orthodox Christianity and writing to the illiterate, pagans.They are credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet.
Cyrillic alphabet
The two most successful Byzantine missionaries were Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius. They were two brothers who were missionaries among the Slavs. They preached in Great Moravia (a West Slavic state, which at the time was the most powerful state in central Europe) and Pannonia (eastern Austria and western Hungary) in the 9th century. They greatly influenced all Slavs and were given the title of "Apostles to the Slavs". They created the Glagolitic alphabet, the first Slavic alphabet, and developed Old Church Slavonic, the first Slavic literary language which standardised the Slavonic language and which they used to translate the bible and other Greek ecclesiastical texts. They created the foundations for the Christianisation of the Slavic peoples. In the Orthodox Church they are saints and have the title of "equal-to-apostles."
The Cyrillic alphabet was created in the 9th century by St. Cyril and St. Methodius, two Byzantine Christian theologians, to translate religious texts into the Slavic languages spoken by the Slavic peoples in the Balkans. It was specifically designed to help spread Christianity and literacy among the Slavic-speaking populations.
The Cyrillic alphabet is the alphabet used by Russian-speakers and a few other languages in the Slavic language family. It is made up of Greek and Hebrew characters and is used to spell out Russian (and other Slavic) words phonetically. It was created by Greek missionaries when they traveled to Russia.
The Cyrillic alphabet was adapted by the Russian civilization in the 9th century from the Byzantine Empire. It was introduced by the missionary brothers Cyril and Methodius, who were invited by the ruler of the Eastern Slavic tribes to spread Christianity and develop a written script for the Slavic languages. The Cyrillic alphabet was modified over time to suit the specific linguistic needs of the Russian language.
The alphabet commonly used in many Slavic languages is the Cyrillic alphabet. It consists of around 30 characters and is used in languages such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian and Ukrainian.
The Byzantines sent missionaries to convert the Slaves to Orthodox Christianity (the religion of their empire). Saints Cyril and Methodius were two brothers who carried out missionary work in Great Moravia, the first West Slavic state whose core territories were along the present-day border of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In 862 the ruler of this state, Prince Rastislav, asked the Byzantine emperor and the patriarch of the Greek Church send missionaries to Christianise his Slavic subjects. The emperor chose to send these brothers. They were very successful and this success was based on their translation of The Bible into the language which is now called Old Church Slavonic. They also devised the first Slavonic alphabet, the Glagolitic alphabet, which was suited to the features of Slavonic languages. The current Slavonic alphabet, Cyrillic, is derived from the Glagolitic alphabet. They also wrote the first Slavic civil law code. After this important missionary work was carried out in Bulgaria and the Rus' of Kiev.
They invented an alphabet for the Slavic language's.
