BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 8:03 pm In the Cyrillic alphabet the C letter is always a soft C. They don't even have S. K makes the sound of the English hard C. Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1912 Posts	Posted 08/22/2018 5:22 pm The Hawaiian alphabet (piapa), was written by 19th century missionaries. The alphabet contains 12 letters: 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, w). Now you take a couple hundred countries over a number of centuries all having different letters, numerals and symbols it stands to reason letters and numerals on coins can look odd. A good review would be letters and meanings of the Russian language and then even more. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 08/22/2018 6:08 pm Kyrgyzstan is a former member of the USSR. As such, they still use the Russian (Cyrillic) alphabet to write their language. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
