INTERSLAVIC uses two alphabet styles - "Latin" and "Cyrillic". The Latin version has 23 "basic" letters, 8 caron/haček accented letters - 5 of which are written as a kind of small letter ' v ' atop the letter: (č, ň, ř, š and ž) and 3 are written as apostrophes after the letter: (ď , ľ, ť). The sounds represented by these letters, while common among all of the Slavic languages, are only familiar to English language speakers in 3 instances: č, š and ž. For č, š and ž - the letters c, s, z followed by the special letter "x"- cx, sx and zx (e.g.: Škola becomes Sxkola).

  • INTERSLAVIC uses two alphabet styles - "Latin" and "Cyrillic". The Latin version has 23 "basic" letters, 8 caron/haček accented letters - 5 of which are written as a kind of small letter ' v ' atop the letter: (č, ň, ř, š and ž) and 3 are written as apostrophes after the letter: (ď , ľ, ť). The sounds represented by these letters, while common among all of the Slavic languages, are only familiar to English language speakers in 3 instances: č, š and ž. Because many website forums and browsers or non-Slavic keyboards do not accommodate recognition of the accented caron/haček letters, the alternative proper way to represent them in INTERSLAVIC is follows: For č, š and ž - the letters c, s, z followed by the special letter "x"- cx, sx and zx (e.g.: Škola becomes Sxkola). The accented letters ň, ř, ď, ľ and ť become "nj", "rj", "dj", "lj" and "tj". The INTERSLAVIC Cyrilic alphabet is based upon either the "Serbian" or "Russian" Cyrillic alphabets - or a combination of both: The SERBIAN CYRILLIC ALPHABET includes the Latin letter "J", which in English is represented by the sound of "Y" as in "Yes". The RUSSIAN CYRILLIC ALPHABET includes two letters which are not in the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet: "Ю" and "Я", which in English are pronounced like the sound of the letter "U" (or the word "you") and the sound represented by "YA", respectively (in the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, these would be represented as "JU" and "JA", respectively). INTERSLAVIC does not use the letter "q" unless foreign language words are quoted.
