Cyrillic letters are used for certain [[Slavic language]]s, principally Russian. Based on Greek letters, it has a longer alphabet than do the Roman or Greek alphabet, to better accomodate the different phonemes encountered in Slavic languages. They are named for [[Saint Cyril]], who, with his brother [[Saint Methodius]], are apostles to the Slavs, much as [[Saint Patrick]] was apostle to the Celts. Cyril is usually credited for devising [[Glagolithic]] letters (for [[Croatian]]), but the attribution to him for Cyrillic letters is less firm.

The Old Church Slavonic (OCS) version of the Bible is close to what the historical linguists term proto-Slavic, but is actually a very old form of Bulgarian. Cyrillic letters are used for this version of Scripture.
