i prefer the latin alphabet, especially seeing as English is my native language, and i don't know any language that uses cyrillic (although i can read it). something interesting though, is one time when there was a word in latin script, with a cyrillic written version, and i didn't know how to pronounce it until i read it in cyrillic. i don't remember what the word was (i don't think it was English) and it started with a "C". When I read the cyrillic version, i realized it started with a "Ts" sound.

LittleKey: I guess it was "center" => центр (tsentr), another example: "cerebral" => церебральный (tserebralnyi)

That's not a problem since there exist nasal vowels in the Cyrillic alphabet : Ѧ Ѫ 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I've never seen the first symbol and the latter ( nosovka = nasal ) was dropped some 20 years before my birth. I've only seen it in old texts. These are relics, the Cyrillic doesn't have nasals. Not the Bulgarian, nor the Russian version of it. Edited by Sennin on 04 March 2009 at 1:33am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

These letters were present in the alphabet invented by Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century. I wanted to show that having nasals in the Cyrillic script is not a problem since the first language written in this alphabet, i.e. Old Slavonic, had 2 nasal vowels like Polish. If we were to write Polish in the Cyrillic alphabet, we could restore them.
