(81,298 posts)I love the look of it. I don't understand that language and I can't read that, but the alphabet - the lettering, I find it all fascinating!

(12,445 posts)Including Russian and Ukrainian.
Russian and Ukrainian are very similar... one native speaker once told me it's probably similar to New England English vs Louisiana English.
Some words are different, most are similar but might not sound the same or be spelled the same.
German vs Dutch might be a better example.

(81,298 posts)Thank you! It's just really fascinating.

(13,907 posts)If you put in the native print (copy/paste), like Cyrillic, Hebrew or Japanese it will translate to English for you.
I use it a lot b/c I get curious. What letter is a backwards 3? backwards N? etc...

I hate to say it but there seems to be no end to Russian barbarity in this Special Military Operation. Nor do I see an end to it.

(7,633 posts)Spelling Massachusetts was always more difficult I thought, although I think it was Captain Kangaroo who had a ditty that worked. Somewhat.
