  1. Now I know what a computer keyboard looks like for Russians. On this notebook, the English (Latin) characters are overlaid with #Russian (Cyrillic) characters. The English alphabet has only 26 characters, while Cyrillic has 33, so to accommodate the extra letters required for Russian, some punctuation keys are overlaid with #Cyrillic.

    This particular computer is running #LinuxMint, the same that I use in the #USA!

  3. RE: mas.to/@magistau/1167057466628

    This fascinating post on the variation of Cyrillic between languages led me to realize that I had used Russian Cyrillic for the Bulgarian title of G.H. Hardy’s ‘A Mathematician’s Apology’ in the list of translations in my annotated edition [archive.org/details/hardy_anno].

    The font (Minion 3) has a stylistic set for Bulgarian Cyrillic, so it was straightforward to change it, although I did tweak one or two glyphs.

    The new version is already on archive.org: archive.org/details/hardy_anno

    (There are various other small typographical improvements, notably in the bibliography.)

  8. The #Cyrillic alphabet is celebrated across the Slavonic-speaking world, but not only as an appreciation of literacy – it has a political dimension too.

  13. How hard is it for an English-speaking monoglot to learn #Cyrillic?

    Just thought it might be nice to be able to distinguish the various Cyrillic-written languages, not necessarily learn any of them in-depth (ADHD, yo ;)

  17. Kyrylo Tkachov from Alfabravo shared a work in progress—an Ukrainian Cyrillic cursive project that feels especially interesting for the way it engages local traditions, historical references, and alternative graphic logics, rather than defaulting to so-called 'standard' Cyrillic italics. Curious to see where this goes with Latin and Greek characters.🤔
