Cyrillic alphabets: Difference between revisions

[[South Slavic languages|South Slavic]] Cyrillic alphabets (with the exception of Bulgarian) are generally derived from [[Serbian Cyrillic alphabet|Serbian Cyrillic]]. It, and by extension its descendants, differs from the East Slavic ones in that the alphabet has generally been simplified: Letters such as Я, Ю, Ё, and Ь representing /ja/, /ju/, /jo/, and palatalization in Russian, respectively, have been removed. Instead, these are represented by the digraphs {{angbr|ја}}, {{angbr|јuју}}, {{angbr|јо}}, and unmarked palatization, respectively. Additionally, the letter Е, representing {{IPA|/je/}} in Russian, is instead pronounced {{IPA|/e/}} or {{IPA|/ɛ/}}, with {{IPA|/je/}} being represented by {{angbr|јeје}}. Alphabets based on the Serbian that add new letters often do so by adding an acute accent {{angbr|´}} over an existing letter.
