Was the thorn really a part of old Cyrillic? Would make some sense given the shared history, but still.
> И
I struggled for a bit with this one, but I don't know of a better way to represent it other then "ai" in Cyrillic I guess.
The "ѵ" is interesting too, never seen that before since you can make do with the sorta B-looking letter instead.
- drdaeman 3y ago> Was the thorn really a part of old Cyrillic? No, never was a thing. Early Cyrillic had a bunch of unique letters that are long gone, but it never had "þ" in there. > The "ѵ" is interesting too It's from Greek "Y" (upsilon) and it - depending on the place - could've meant either /i/ or /v/ sound (and /u/ when in "оѵ" digraph, so parent comment has it wrong): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhitsa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhitsa
- b4dot 3y agoThere're several mistakes: - instead þ could be used ѳ; - с in тектс is missed, it should be текстс or better теѯтс; - ѵ is basically Greek upsilon which appeared in English mostly as u [auto] or y [system], therefore шѵд would be better written as шоѵд where /oѵ/ in old Cyrillic pronounsed as /u/ as in Greek, or just шꙋд; - дж in лангѵадж could be writtend as џ; And so on.
