<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are too many variations of the Cyrillic scripts between different languages to cover all of them but here are some examples of differences between Russian and Serbian Cyrillic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Number of letters<\/strong>: The Russian Cyrillic script has 33 letters, while the Serbian Cyrillic script has 30 letters. The Serbian script has three fewer letters than the Russian script, as it does not use the letters \u0449 (shch), \u044a (hard sign), and \u044c (soft sign).<\/p>\n\n\n\nLetter shapes<\/strong>: The shapes of some letters in the Russian and Serbian Cyrillic scripts are different. For example, the Russian letter \u0447 (ch) is written as a cross, while the Serbian letter \u0447 (\u010d) is written as a c-shaped letter with a diagonal line. The Russian letter \u0448 (sh) is written as a double s, while the Serbian letter \u0448 (\u0161) is written as an s with a small vertical line.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAdditional letters<\/strong>: The Serbian Cyrillic script has two additional letters that are not used in the Russian script, \u0452 (\u0111) and \u045f (d\u017e). These letters represent unique sounds in the Serbian language that are not found in Russian.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOrthography<\/strong>: The Russian and Serbian Cyrillic scripts have different rules for spelling and punctuation. For example, Russian uses the letter \u0451 (yo) to represent a separate sound, while Serbian uses the letter \u0451 only in foreign words and names. Serbian also uses a different system for accent marks and other diacritical marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the Russian and Serbian Cyrillic scripts share many similarities, they also have important differences in their letters, shapes, and orthography. These differences reflect the unique sounds and rules of the Russian and Serbian languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
