Russian Latin alphabet
Hey there, kiddo! Have you ever seen the Russian language and wondered why their letters look different from ours? Well, it's because they use a different alphabet!
The Russian alphabet used to be written in something called "Cyrillic" letters - this means the letters looked different from our "Latin" letters. But recently, some people in Russia decided to try using Latin letters instead of Cyrillic ones.
Using Latin letters means that Russian words would look more like other languages that use Latin letters, like English or Spanish. It might also make it easier for people in Russia to communicate with people from other countries.
But changing the alphabet is a BIG deal, so they decided to test it out first. This means they just used Latin letters for typing and texting, but still taught Cyrillic letters in schools.
For now, it's not clear if they will officially switch to the Latin alphabet, or if they will go back to the Cyrillic alphabet. But it's interesting to see how people are trying new things to make communication easier!
