Ukranian Alphabet

The Ukrainian alphabet contains 33 different characters represented by the Cyrillic alphabet. According to Brittanica, it is a “writing system developed in the 9th–10th century CE for Slavic-speaking peoples of the Eastern Orthodox faith.” Over 50 languages use the Cyrillic alphabet!
