And here I thought people write “1st” because they are lazy and want to press 3 keys instead of 5.

There is no such thing as “zeroith”. Does not matter which numbers you slap on the tables, the one with the lowest number will always be the first. The word “first” has nothing to do with indices, it’s just an antonym for “last”.

I guess I’ll just add you guys to the “overzealous Witcher fans” and consider my point valid.

Yea, Croatia is the only place it got widely used. Is it some kind of historical elective course in Croatian schools? Been a coupe of times in Croatia, never seen Glagolitic in the wild, though. Maybe wasn’t looking good enough.

There is no single person responsible for Cyrillic script. It is mostly believed to be created by mixing and changing Greek and Glagolic scripts by the scholars of Preslav Literary School, which was indeed in Bulgaria. After a while, Peter the Great changed it a lot. And then Stalin stomped out almost all the deviations in the usage of the script.

The last part is mostly why it is considered Russian. A lot of languages suffered because of Moscow just forcing them to use the version of Cyrillic that Russians were using.

It’s a dead script that was not that common in the first place, in Kievan Rus’ it was even used as a form of encryption in XI—XVI centuries for how little spread it was. It is also very different from modern Cyrillic. So, saying “most Slavs don’t know how to read it” is a bit of an understatement. Noone knows how to read it, apart from some linguists and overzealous Witcher fans.

Nah, Georgian is arcs and circles everywhere, like this: ეს ქართული დამწერლობაა.
