I think most of the latin alphabet languages have cursive forms. Cyrillic as well. Definitely English is no exception.

  The Cyrillic variant is almost a different set of characters! And the flowing into each other takes such an extreme there, that my last name is a nigh-illegible series of wavelets. I have no idea how Russian, Ukrainian, etc., historians manage to read old Cyrillic documents.

    Honestly, if you look at old German documents written in the Kurrent cursive system, it's about as bad. For the most part, it's just a matter practice and familiarity with the writing system. Лишин though, that's definitely a rough one.

    The latin cursive scripts differ country by country. And reading old letters, even if it's in my language, is very hard. The letters looked differently. A proficient writer would write them consistently but to read it, you're looking for "distinguishing traits", not for the letter shape as depicted to learners.
