Is there still any use of the Cyrillic alphabet in Poland?

  1. Basically— whichever alphabet a country uses depends on where the first Christian missionaries came from. And perhaps -very roughly- proximity to either city and whether before or after the great schism of 1054. The Latin alphabet came from Rome, the Cyrillic from Constantinople. Any similarities are because the 2 alphabets share some character shapes (but not always pronounciation.) It is not a mixture due to literacy being introduced by competing factions.

  2. This one? No. But there’s law that when >20% of powiat’s population is from a certain minority (Ukrainian, for example), it is required by law to put there things like bilingual road signs. But they need Polish citizenship, worker migrants or refugees don’t fall under this law ( I think).

  3. The only cyrilic in use today is intended for the Ukrainian reader.

  4. This alphabet was russian idea to replace latin alphabet Poland always used. It never worked out. Poland never used cyrillic.

  5. no, it has never been used, from the start we have been using latin alphabet

    edit. if you seen some, it’s intended for Ukrainians, as someone in the comments said

  6. Polish speakers only use Latin alphabet. If you see anything in Cyrillic in Poland, it’s most likely to be in Ukrainian. Btw, as Pole who knows Cyrillic, this Russian made crap for Polish seems sooo unintuitive. I think that Belarusian script would work better for us than whatever this is

  7. I’ve seen Cyrillic “ó” sprayed on a wall.

    Though that might be just an ass drawing. Hard to tell.

    “still”?

    it was never used in the first place

  9. Reject Latin alphabet. Return to ⰃⰎⰀⰃⰑⰎⰋⰜⰀ

  10. ” **still any use** ”

    A very inappropriate choice of words in view of the failed attempt by Russian imperialism to impose the Cyrillic alphabet on the Poles in the Congress Kingdom after the uprisings against Russia ( XIX century). Nobody used it. The Polish alphabet was Latin from the beginning and always will be.
