An '''alphabet''' is a series of symbols [[letters]] which correlate to individual sounds, allowing the spoken word to be recorded for later use.  The word "alphabet" is a combination of the first two letters ([[alpha]] and [[beta]]) of the [[Greek]] alphabet. Many ancient alphabets evolved from even earlier writings, of ancient ''pictograms'' where a spoken sound or word was represented by small drawing of an object.  These pictures eventually developed into formalized graphical symbols.  By convention these symbols are written in a specific order ([[alphabetic]] order).

The '''Cyrillic alphabet''', and variants of it, is used in [[Russian]], [[Ukrainian]], [[Bulgarian]], [[Serbo-Croat]] and [[Mongolian]] (in the Republic of [[Mongolia]]). The Cyrillic alphablet was manditory in [[Soviet]] republics before their independence from the [[Soviet Union]], but many of these have reverted to their earlier alphabets which often are based on Latin letters.
