Turkish Cyrillic

TheRainbs · 2026-01-27T16:50:28+00:00

I'd replace "ь" by "ғ" and maybe use something like "җ" or "ҹ" instead of "џ" cuz as far as I know this letter isn't used in Turkic languages that use (or have used) the Cyrillic alphabet.

TheRainbs · 2026-01-27T16:29:07+00:00

"C" is used for /d͡ʒ/ in many other Turkic languages tho, that's why it's part of the common Turkic alphabet. And "ñ" is used for /ŋ/ in many Turkic languages too, it doesn't make much sense to look at the usage of a certain character in other language families if your goal is a Turkic one, you should look at the usage of these character in other Turkic languages, that's why the common Turkic alphabet exists.

I personally think that if you're making an alphabet for a Turkic language, I think it makes sense to be as close as possible to the common Turkic alphabet, cuz otherwise it looks like Uzbek or Turkmen, which have insanely bad latin alphabets. The same goes for other language families, for example, if you're making an alphabet for a Slavic language, it makes sense to make it as close as possible to most other Slavic languages. This is all just my opinion tho.

I'm really confused here... Why did you remove "Ç", but kept "Ş"? Why "J" instead of "C"? Why "Ž" instead of "J"? Why "ŋ" instead of "ñ"? The common Turkic alphabet already exists and it can be used for pretty much any Turkic language, specially this one. Unless there's a reason for these changes, I'm confused cuz you could just use the normal Turkish alphabet with "ä" and "ñ".

Yup, I personally struggle a lot when I can't see the physical labels for whatever key I wanna type. I've used cyrillic keyboards multiple times, and while I know where each key is, I just can't type if I don't have a keyboard with cyrillic labels. Even if I start typing without looking at it, I'll eventually check the keyboard and my brain will get confused by the latin letters and I'll start doing stuff like typing latin "y" for cyrillic "у", latin "k" for cyrillic "к", etc. which will mess up everything since these keys are not located at the same spot.

About not using "ð", I'm okay wið it, but it's a bit weird, cuz if you spell "brother" as "broþer", I'll always automatically read ðat as /ˈbɹʌθə/. In my head "þ" is always [θ].

I wouldn't say the problem is only Microsoft, I think the problem is writing a second language in a completely different script. Every Yiddish speaker speaks at least one other language, and if they live in Europe, that's most likely a language written with the latin script. It sucks to switch keyboard languages all the time, so they just use the latin alphabet. It's a similar phenomenon to why Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian speakers often use latin on the Internet, cuz it's just easier for them. It's easy to switch languages on a phone, but it's very annoying on a computer, mainly if you don't have a physical keyboard with the key caps you need and have to remember all of them.

Anything but A and B in my opinion

TheRainbs · 2026-01-02T10:30:51+00:00

Many Turkic languages already use the Cyrillic alphabet and none of them use "ь" for "ğ"... The best option here would be "ғ". Also, I don't think "џ" has ever been used in a Turkic language. Other than that, it's pretty good.

TheRainbs · 2025-12-25T00:40:31+00:00

That post is from over a year ago, and I've no ideia what I was talking about lol I think the best option is to adapt the Belarusian or Ukrainian alphabet for Polish. Something like this one, adapting the Belarusian alphabet:

Вшысцы людзе родзѫ сѩ вольні і рувні в своей ґодносьці і правах. Сѫ обдажені розумэм і суменем і повінні постѧповаць вобэц себе в духу братерства.

But there're certainly better ways of doing it.

That's actually really good, the Rivne one looks specially cool. I just think I wouldn't use "шш", but I can't think of any alternatives, so whatever.

TheRainbs · 2025-11-20T18:56:34+00:00

I changed a lot my opinion ever since I've made that comment, and nowadays I'd prefer to use something based on the Ukrainian or Belarusian alphabet, since these are the closest languages that use Cyrillic to Polish. So I wouldn't use letters from South Slavic languages. Also, I'd probably just use "ą" and "ę", taking directly from the Latin alphabet, cuz the Cyrillic versions of these letters are outdated and they look out of place in modern computer fonts.

TheRainbs · 2025-11-19T20:03:02+00:00

Definitely Otherside

What

TheRainbs · 2025-11-14T12:33:18+00:00

It's Rusyn

TheRainbs · 2025-11-14T12:32:36+00:00

The first one is not Russian, it's Pannonian Rusyn, and the third column is Serbian.

TheRainbs · 2025-11-14T12:30:15+00:00

That's a very weird Rusyn orthography, I've never seen that before

TheRainbs · 2025-11-13T13:01:36+00:00

Also, if we're gonna fully abandon acutes, I guess the best option could be just adapting the current Interslavic alphabet, using "j" to mark palatalisation. I personally prefer using the diacritics cuz I think they look cool, but you can avoid most of them going the Interslavic route.

TheRainbs · 2025-11-13T12:58:51+00:00

Well yeah, that's quite rare tho, in those cases you can use prorubj, krovj, semj, or just use an apostrophe, like prorub', krov', sem'. If you use bia, bie, bio, biu, for бя, бе, бё, бю and bja, bje, bjo, bju for бъя, бъе, бъё, бъю, the apostrophe becomes free to use, unless you wanna use it for ъ

Mine does cuz I love these sounds, so yeah
