      What's the point of Macedonia changing its alphabet now?

        I didn't say it didn't exist, but this was the first attempt at creating an official printed Macedonian alphabet for Macedonians.

        Nothing really, but it is older than the new Serbian and Latin letters.

          Latin letters? One could argue that this version has a heavy Russian/Bulgarian influence...why not go all the way back to the original Glagolithic or Cyrillic from the 10th century?

            It can only have a Macedonian influence. I don't mind that alphabet. But history solved the problem for us.

              Macedonians used most of these letters before 1944. I don't mind the current alphabet, I was just wondering which one people like most.

                To an extent - Russians in particular developed their own letters for their own specific sounds. Importing those would not necessarily be Macedonian.

                  Russians didn't ivanov go to the Russians only to find that the Russian alphabet owes it all to the Macedonian alphabet ie Methodius & kiril visits,
                  Well if we go the old church Glagolitic & Slavonic scripts why don't we go back to the ancient Macedonian im sure there was one with 36 letters I saw it in one of our threads..There was such a thing as a prehistoric alphabet.Otis I meant it in a doubt situation a hypothetical.

                    There are a few things I don't agree with in the new alphabet, one of them being the removal of "Ъ".

                    I would replace "J" with "I"

                    Get rid of "Џ" completely.

                      Also something else related to this topic....

                      There is NO such thing as "latinica" in the Macedonian language!

                      If you want to spell ЦАР using the English alphabet, then you spell it like this: "TSAR".

                      Tsar = King
                      Car = 4 wheeled vehicle that you drive in.

                      Yes I'm suggesting Скопје should be spelled as Skopye in English.

                        Utterly ridiculous removing this! It amuses me when Macedonians feel so proud when they say our language is spelled phonetically.

                        And only a moron would think "Я" is a Bulgarian variation.

                        500 years of Turks has ensured "Џ" will remain.

                        OK, I have vented now.

                          Totally agree.
                          It only looks normal to former Yugoslavians and a few other Euro types in my opinion.

                            I would support a change in the alphabet because I am somewhat a purist. But I voted no to your poll question, because the above has some letters which were not part of the original Cyrillic alphabet developed by Macedonian educators.

                            It has some foreign influence but most of the letters were present in the original Cyrillic alphabet.
                            ....why not go all the way back to the original Glagolithic or Cyrillic from the 10th century?
                            I think it would have been great for Macedonians to have revived the Glagolitic alphabet.

                            The letter Я is a Russian variation. The original letter was Ѧ, but IA could be used (instead of JA) if the J was dropped from today's alphabet.
                            In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

                              I meant taking out the letter "Џ" and spelling it out the original way which was "ДЖ"
