Things I Learned: Official Languages in Russia
From a January 12, 2026 Jamestown Foundation report by Vadim Shtepa: The Karelian language has no official status in Russia because it is written in the Latin alphabet, as only those written in Cyrillic can be official languages of Russian republics. Thus, I learned that only languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet can be granted "official status" in Russia. This reminded me of something I learned which inspired me to write Similarities between Moldovan and Romanian on The New Leaf […]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/official-languages-in-russia-01-16-26/

The first is that some Euboean letter forms differed from their normal Greek counterparts in ways that foreshadowed (in hindsight) how Latin would look. Gamma, for example, was more of a "𐌂" in Euboea, where regular Greek Gamma was more "Γ". This is the letter that became our "C". And Greek delta "Δ" was more kind of lifted on the right - and sometimes rounded - like "𐌃". Thus our "D". There are others - sigma and rho. Cool!

So ... prepping my #WritingSystems class for next fall, and looking at the origins of the Latin alphabet. The Latin writing system is (mainly) derived from Etruscan (a language spoken around what is now central and northern Italy), which had adapted its writing from Greek.
Okay, but it was a particular flavour of Greek writing the Etruscans used, from Euboea (Εὔβοια). There are two really cool things about Euboean Greek. (1/3)
