  • Most Eastern European countries share the same Slavic ethnicity, language, and heritage. However, Eastern European nations do not all share the same writing system. The fact that Eastern Europe is divided between Cyrillic script and Latin script sparks the question: Why do Eastern European countries use different alphabets?

    For me is weird to write in Latin alphabet, we are taught both alphabets in school, but after you finish the school, you choose what alphabet you would use. I know a lot of people that can't write cursive Latin, because they didn't continued to using it after the school. So in my country people mostly write in Cyrillic.

      @@Seventeenth Why you Poles hate it? Because you find it as ''Russification" or your strong Catholic influence? Honestly if you start writing in in Cyrillic or at least in both like Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina there will be some benefits from that:
      1. It will be more readable and more accessible to everyone like Interslavic. I know Latin alphabet still dominates but older people who used Cyrillic alphabet in their life they struggle with the Latin alphabet.
      2. Cyrillic is a more phonetic alphabet and rarely has dipthongs like Polish and most of the time it's 1 letter, 1 sound. What's the point of writing CZ, SZ, SZCZ when you can just write Ч, Ш, Щ?
      3. I know younger generation will hate it because it's ''too Orthodox'' or ''too Russian'' despite Bulgaria created it, but It will be much easier for the Ukrainian immigrants that go to Poland, especially right now. Remember that everything Cyrillic is not related to everything being ''Russian.''
      4. It's not that hard as it may look. It's not like writting in Chinese it's nowhere near complicated as that. This alphabet is like a hybrid between Latin and Greek alphabet. And it's as easy to write as Latin alphabet.
      I know that Polish actually has co-official Cyrillic alphabet but only in Belarus who declare as Poles and not Belarusians made like co-official Cyrillic alphabet. Maybe the government should do both Cyrillic and Latin writing like these 3 countries that already do that. And btw Belarus and North Macedonia also have co-official alphabet that recently heard that Ukrainian's government made co-official Ukrainian alphabet.
      Honestly writing in both alphabets is better in my opinion.

For me as Czech, it's pretty clear that modified latin is superior to cyrillic. When you don't know what is Š, you just read it as S and it will be still understandable, same with long vowels ÁÍÉ....when you read it just as normal AIE....it's gonna be mostly still understandable, so just basic latin letter are enough to somehow read and writte, while in cyrillic, you have much more totaly different letters and also softening and hardening marks before or after letter or how does it work, and they have diacritics above letters too.

      This is like calling that Brazilians speak Spanish and not Portuguese or Portuguese is a Spanish dialect. So we'll say that every language that uses Cyrillic is, right?
      And no Cyrillic is much easier. Look at the Serbs 1 letter is 1 sound, while they need 2 letters of some of their letters in their Latin version. And also Czech and Slovak look ridiculous with these accented letters to represent long vowels, no offence.

    I think it's mistaken to represent the Cyrillic alphabet with the "Russian Cyrillic Alphabet" image as you do in the video, because (1) you show it in places where it's misattributed, e.g. Serbo-Croatian doesn't use the Russian alphabet, it uses the its own Cyrillic script which is different to the Russian one in some letters; (2) because the Cyrillic script did not start in Russia and is more accurately identified with Bulgaria, where it was created, a fact which is not mentioned in the video. Otherwise nice video, I hope that countries keep using the Cyrillic script because it's really cool.

    All Slavic languages are very close to each other even now, so in 8-9 th centuries they were completely mutually intelligible, that's why Byzantines wanted to create one liturgical language for all of the Slavs. Cyril and Methodius made Old Church Slavonic on the base of South Slavic dialects, there are disputes whether Cyril and Methodius made the Cyrillic alphabet or only Glagolic(Glagolica), but still it has origination in the Balkans, where Greeks and Slavs lived very close to each other.

    Honestly, Czechs/Poles/Slovaks/Slovenes/Croatians have always been more western/central in culture, over the last 1000 years, compared to their East Slavic cousins. Serbo-Croatian writes both Latin & Cyrillic, because they were influenced by the Austrians and the Bulgarians before them, Poles adopted it (along with the Baltic languages) because of close proximity/intermingling with Germans (also religion and the fact adopting a modern script and getting good relations with developed countries boosts trade and therefore boosts their own development), and Czechs, or Bohemians/Moravians, have always been a big player in the HRE, and have always had contact with the Germans.
    If the German government wasn’t so keen on destroying our heritage and values, I’d even say they share a lot of things culturally with us, but that would almost be an insult nowadays. Poles and Czechs are honestly very similar (not 1 to 1 though) to what Germans would be without our sh!t government, the majority of people here are after all still somewhat sane but are forced to drown their complaints with alcohol, because the loud LGBTQ and Leftist minorities hold enough power over social media to ruin you otherwise.

    The role of Tsar Simeon the Great and the Bulgarian Empire in the development and spread of the Cyrillic alphabet is a significant point of national pride for Bulgaria. It underscores the country's historical contribution to the cultural and linguistic development of the Slavic world. This contribution has sometimes been overshadowed by the later adoption and adaptation of the Cyrillic script by other Slavic nations, including Russia, leading to differing national narratives about the script's origins and development.

    The Cyrillic alphabet is neither russian, nor slavic. It was addopted by slavic and non-slavic tribes , including the russians long after it was developed in Bulgaria. Stop falsifying the history and spreading desinformation . The Cirillic is in fact a Bulgrian alphabet, simply because it was developed to suit the Bulgarian languge during the 9th century AD at the Bulgarian Preslav Literary School in the First Bulgarian Empire during the reign of Tsar Simeon I the Great. It was developed by disciples of the two Byzantine brothers Cyril and Methodius, who had previously created the Glagolitic script. Those scholars have names - Clement of Ohrid, Naum of Preslav, Constantine of Preslav, Joan Ekzarh, Chernorizets Hrabar, Angelar, Sava and others. The Cirillic script was conceived and popularised amongst other slavic tribes by the followers of Cyril and Methodius in Bulgaria, rather than by Cyril and Methodius themselves. Its name denotes homage rather than authorship. The script is named in honor of Saint Cyril, but was 100% developed by the Bulgarian scholars of Preslav Literary School for writing the Bulgarian language.

    Nonsense, there was never cyrylic alphabet in Poland, Czechia and Slovakia. Since beginning those countries used Latin alphabet. Those countries are also in Central Europe, not eastern. Cyrylic was created in today's Bulgaria in 13th century from glagolic alphabet. At that time latin alphabet was in use in Poland Czechia and Slovakia for a few centuries already.

    With respect of the makers of the video numerous inconsistencies persist (namely referring to the alphabet as Russian Cyrillic alphabet and by now should be dismissed as ignorers propaganda) . Saints Kirill and Methodius have nothing to do with the evangelises of the Bulgarians as a nation. In the land of present Bulgaria the first apostles of Christianity walked as of the first century ad. The brothers Kirill and Methodius if they have made any alphabet is not the one used today around the world named Cyrillic . When it comes to the lands of the Romania in present it is so complicated. I will just say that they have removed over 40000 words of Bulgarian origin just after the 1860 language reform. And how Kazak or any anther language with Latin alphabet will be better represented than Bulgarian alphabet. It is obviously political move.

      No, the cyrillic alphabet works much better for Ukrainian. The alphabet is much more efficient. For example:
      щ - shch
      є - je
      Я - ja
      The cyrillic alphabet saves space. Also, how would the Latin alphabet differentiate between ь and й?

      The cyrillic alphabet DONT saves space. Cyrilic works in Ukrainian in exactly the same way as the Latin alphabet. There is no problem in Czech and Ukrainian has nothing that is not in the Czech language. On the contrary, the Czech language has sounds that Ukrainian does not have. I quote : For example: щ - shch. Why shch? Is the Czech Š. є - je? No, just Ě. Soft and hard character enough? For what? A Czech hook and acute accent is enough. Ě, Ť, Í, Ý etc. By the way, the Czech language never had Cyrillic, but the first Slavic script, the predecessor of Cyrillic, the Glagolitic script, entered our country. At the request of the Great Moravian King Rastislav, Cyril and Methodius (Slavic brothers from Thessaloniki in the Byzantine Empire - therefore they knew the specifics of the Slavic language) were sent to Moravia by the Byzantine Emperor Michael III. The Glagolitic script was used for Moravian official state and religious purposes. The Glagolitic script was taught in the school (academy) founded by Cyril or Methodius and where their students were educated, as the first center of Slavic education in the territory of today's Czechia. These Moravian students then went to Bulgaria, where thanks to their knowledge they created the Cyrillic script from the Glagolitic script and the large Greek alphabet. Cyrillic is named only in honor of Saint Cyril. But he did not know Cyrillic, nor did he work on it, because he was no longer alive. With the disintegration of Great Moravia, the Glagolitic script also disappeared (HERE) and Latin came in, including the abandonment of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the permanent leaning towards the Latin (Roman) Church until today.
