        Say what you want about the Russian people, it’s government, the culture, even the food.

        The language got absolutely fucked with that alphabet.

        Let’s take an Asian tribal language and have two Greek guys force a Latin alphabet on it.

          Slavic languages are related to other European languages closer than Finnish and Hungarian, also the writing system Cyril introduced was Glagolitic, the reason Cyrillic appeared was because students in Bulgaria didn’t want to use the rather complex glagolitic alphabet for everything and already knew the greek alphabet, so they kind of combined them and created Cyrillic

            Also, Cyrillic can represent features like palatalization better than the Latin alphabet does, not saying it’s the best for everything but it does have advantages

      Its basically a requirement of being russian, to marry your identiy of being russian to the russian state, and the identity of the russian state basically boils down to a bunch of imperialist psuedo-nazis (and overt nazis) who are obsessed with large borders, dying in droves in huge wars for national prestige, and living like shit just to maintain the image and arsenal that you are opposing some great evil, like the amorphous “west”

      No, green text is used to strawman the comment you are replying to

        I see. However, there’s no > in the Russian layout. So they’d have to switch to English, type >, switch back to Russian, type и, and then switch again to English to continue typing the post. That’d be strange to say the least.

          On 4chan, if you reply to a post it puts the > in for you. He just deleted what was there and typed in something else.

          At least I think that’s how it works. I could be wrong, since I haven’t set foot in 4chan in like a decade.

      The other reply is wrong. If you have part of a post highlighted when you click its post number to reply, it will automatically put the highlighted text in front of the meme arrow. The image is definitely implying that the person they were replying to accidentally used a Cyrillic character.

        I am guessing it is how the fake cyrillic is actually pronounced.

          i don’t get it, though other languages all at least partially use Cyrillic, Polish doesn’t. there’s some linguist fan project that made a “Polish Cyrillic” but historically the Polish langauge (as opposed to Poland itself as there’s been a few attempts at a russification during occupations) has never used Cyrillic

          Yeah, with exception of Polish, which used Latin from the start, Czech and Slovak briefly used Glagolitic alphabet, which is much closer to Greek alphabet and basically the precursor to Cyrillic. I should’ve been more specific.
          Some Slavic languages did switch directly from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet though. And some non-Slavic languages use Cyrillic to this day (although in process of switching to Latin).

      You’re just being difficult to argue a stupid point. It’s fairly clear who the real culprit is.
