Bosnian Cyrillic

OK kiddo, today we're going to talk about Bosnian Cyrillic writing.

So, you know how we can write our letters using different shapes and symbols, like the letter "A" looks like a triangle with a line on top? Well, in some countries they have different ways of writing their letters too. And in Bosnia, some people use a type of writing called "Cyrillic," which means they use different symbols to write their letters than we do.

Now, there are different kinds of Cyrillic writing, but the one used in Bosnia is a special version with a few extra letters that are unique to the Bosnian language. Bosnian Cyrillic uses a lot of curves and lines that might look a bit different from what you're used to. For example, the letter "Њ" is kind of like a backwards "C" with a line on top, and the letter "Ч" looks like a little house with a line through it!

People in Bosnia use this type of writing for different things like books, signs, and even on the internet. Some people there might use a different type of writing called "Latinic" too (which is more similar to the letters we use). But no matter which way they write, they can still understand each other because it's all still Bosnian language.

So, there you have it, my little friend - that's Bosnian Cyrillic in a nutshell!
