Cyril and Methodius: invent a script specifically designed for slavic languages
*Poland: I'll pretend I didn't see it*

Extremely modestly designed and well-developed art style.

Perhaps one of the most impressive historical semiotics introduction video I've seen in a while.

Magnificent!

Human stories can't be told without language but definitely can be told without script

Cyrillic and Old Church Bulgarian language (called Old Church Slavonic as well), from which Russian language had been developed, are the most successful project ever of The First Bulgarian Empire and Bulgarians! Of course, for being honest, we don't have to forget that the contemporary script of Cyrillic is developed first, after a reform made by The Russians during the Peter The great in 18 century, and after that in the beginning of the 20 century after the communist revolution!

Все таки кириллица очень удобный алфавит, я думаю, что, к примеру, польский язык был бы более прост в написании, если бы они изначально выбрали кириллицу, и писали звуки "sz" и "szcz", как "Ч" и "Щ"

Someone please tell me that this video is 100% historically accurate. Thanks in advance.

Latin is full of inconsistency because of the palatalisation of c and g and the i that turned become j and y in Spanish. Hence, you can see that inconsistency in English "c" can be pronounced similar to "k" or "s". "Z" can be pronounced from "z" to "ts". "C" can be pronounced as "k", "ts", "ch" and "j" in various language and many more. While with Cyrillic, you have "ц" will be the same letter for "ts" in any language that uses it and so on. That's the reality, Cyrillic alphabet is the best pair for Slavic languages because it supports consonant weakening that happens largely in Slavic languages. That's why some Slavic languages like Slovak and Czech, they have very much letter, while if they use Cyrillic the number of the letter can be reduced, for example, the letter "d" and "ď " can be written as "д" and "дь" using Cyrillic, the same for "t" and "ť " can be written as "т" and "ть" using Cyrillic. But, this is all because of the religious issue in the past

It's original intent was for slavic languages, now it is being used in not just Slavic Languages but also Turkic Languages

Let's be honest here. Anything that allows you to include Russia on a map makes it look widespread even though 90% of Russian area is VERY sparsely populated.

Thank you to Bulgaria and Macedonia for creating such a wonderful script! Cyrillic, especially Early Cyrillic, has been my favourite writing system for about a year. Its history, its letters, the message in their names and especially its diversity of ancestor scripts really show that Kliment (and whoever helped him) was thinking outside the box when making the alphabet.
