Question
When was the Cyrillic alphabet referred as Azbuka in Bulgaria. The sentence that you reverted makes no sense and generally should be removed. It is definitely an improvement and I want a good argument. SaltyViking (talk) 13:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi SaltyViking, in Bulgarian the terms Българска азбука (Bulgarian script) and Кирилица (Cyrillic script) are synonyms. Aren't they? Also check here: Azbuka. Jingiby (talk) 13:25, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- The disputed sentence says: “the Cyrillic alphabet is also known as azbuka”. No, it is not interchangeable. The definition of alphabet is “set of letters or symbols in a fixed order used to represent the basic set of speech sounds of a language, especially the set of letters from A to Z.“. While of cyrilic is “denoting the alphabet used by many Slavic peoples, chiefly those with a historical allegianceto the Orthodox Church. Ultimately derived from Greek uncials, it is now used for Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Ukrainian, and some other Slavic languages.”. Therefore, the correct rephrasing of the upper sentce would be: The translation of the English word alphabet in all Slavic languages is ‘azbuka’. Then it can be explained that in CZ and Slovakia the term azbuka and Cyrillic alphabet is interchangeable. In conclusion, the phrasing of the sentence is incorrect.

Bulgarian Cyrillic Fonts
Aloha, Jingiby, are you aware of any Bulgarian Cyrillic language templates? (I mean these thingy like шрифт but using Bulgarian Cyrillic?) The general template is awful, and I certainly have objections to using either Russian or Serbian Cyrillic fonts. I don't find anything, but you are an ol' dog, perhaps you know something I don't. Thanks in advance. VMORO 11:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
