Delszaft Cyrillic (Delszaft: кириле абэдэджэ [kiˈrileː abɛˈdɛd͡ʒɛ]) is a form of the Cyrillic script used for writing Delszaft. It is mainly used in Thulian government signs and on other special occasions. The Delszaft Latin is used in favor of the Delszaft Cyrillic, due to it being hard to access on non-Cyrillic keyboards.

History

The alphabet was mainly created for aesthetic purposes and to give some variation from the already existing Delszaft Latin alphabet.

Ј and Й

Up until 17 December 2023, ⟨ј⟩ and ⟨й⟩ were used interchangeably in the Delszaft Cyrillic. The difference between them being that ⟨ј⟩ only appeared in the start and middle of a word and never at the end:

Y ј-

Y -ј-

N -ј

The ⟨й⟩ then appearing only in the end of a word, but never in an initial position:

N й-

Y -й

On 17 December, ⟨й⟩ was removed and replaced by ⟨ј⟩. ⟨й⟩ was added back on 25 August 2024.
