#glagolitic

[gaykarstaagforever]

Glagolitic is certainly one of the alphabets of all time.

This was the alphabet St. Cyril and Co. invented for the Slavs, based loosely on the Greek alphabet. And it was used to write Old Church Slavonic, a South Slavic language that retained elements of a theoretical Proto-Slavic language that was the precursor to all the contemporary ones.

Old Church Slavonic is still an Eastern Orthodox / Slavic national liturgical language, but they write it in Cyrillic now.

And Cyrillic itself is named in honor of Cyril, but is in fact a later Bulgarian alphabet inspired by Glagolitic but based more systematically on the actual Greek alphabet.

Here is Glagolitic to Cyrillic, assuming any of you need that:

You will note how much easier Cyrillic is to write than Glagolitic, which is exactly why the Bulgarians did this.

I mean, I get it. But Glagolitic looks way cooler.

You have glagolica:

"Glagololi (scs. Glagolъ ⰳⰾⰰⰳⱁⰾⱏ "Word, letter" [1])-the oldest known Slavic magazine, whose creation is attributed to a missionary-inside Konstanty called Cyril, who together with his brother Methodius wrote in the 9th century with his help Slavic language used in the vicinity of the salons; Glagolica was the original alphabet of the Old-Carter Slavic, which was to be the liturgical language of the Slavs, and in its later development phase, as the Church Slavic language, remained the literary language of layers educated in the Orthodox religion for many centuries"

Because I see Cyrillici more often than Glagolica

The letter "A" in the shape of a cross - the basic Christian symbol - is the first letter of the Glagolitic script. Some scholars searched for the origin of the letter "A" in various oriental alphabets, but most likely it is the symbol. As every Christian prayer begins with the sign of the cross, the Glagolitic alphabet does it as well. The numeric value is "1", and the Old Church Slavonic name sounds "azъ" which means "I or me".

Glagolitic script is the oldest known Slavic alphabet. It is generally agreed to have been created in the 9th century by Saint Cyril, a monk from Thessalonica.
