Bohorič alphabet

The Bohorič alphabet is a special set of letters used to write words in Slovenian language. Imagine you have a special set of blocks with different shapes like squares, circles or triangles. Just like that, the Bohorič alphabet has special letters shaped differently than the letters we use in the English alphabet. These letters have special lines and dots above them to tell us how to pronounce them.

The Bohorič alphabet was invented a long time ago by a very smart man named Adam Bohorič who wanted to make it easier for people to read and write in Slovenian. He designed the letters to match the sounds of the Slovenian language, so when we look at a word written in the Bohorič alphabet, we can tell how it is supposed to sound.

The Bohorič alphabet has some letters that look like the letters we use in the English alphabet, like 'a' or 'b', but it also has some letters that are very different, like 'č' or 'ž'. These special letters are important in Slovenian because they make different sounds than the letters we are used to hearing in the English language.

So, to sum it up, the Bohorič alphabet is a special set of letters for writing Slovenian words. These letters have special shapes and lines to help us pronounce the words correctly. Adam Bohorič created this alphabet a long time ago to make it easier for people to read and write in Slovenian.
