Thanks to Static Imp, there's an update. I'm going to incorporate it into the sections as soon as I get a chance, but I really need to sleep now... it's been a crazy weekend, between whooping cough (not me, hooray xp ) and going out of town to a hotel with no freaking internet (grr, but the con was cool).
So now my compy battery is dying. Go check out the info Static Imp added, quoted in the posts above. pirate

I added (in the handy phrases section) how the words that I've actually heard sound to me. I'm afraid that for the soft vowels, I underestimated their effect... I got used to Japanese's (wow, that sounds weird to say) connection between the y and the consonant... ex, privyet to me sounds like THREE syllables instead of two (which is how many it actually is)
Blarga Smarga.
Curse this human body and its need for sleep! I have languages to learn!
Bah, I'll get back on sometime tomorrow and actually update, I hope. 4laugh

Fordgedawn It uses the cyrillic alphabet, created way back when by some guy named Kyrill. I think he's a saint, but I really don't know. St. Cyril. Sts. Kyrill and Cyril are two different people. At least that's what it looked like when I looked these up. St. Cyril is a Catholic saint, while St. Kyrill is an Orthodox saint. But who knows, they could be the same person, just both Churches canonized him. Here's a little history on the cyrillic alphabet. http://www.volgawriter.com/VW Cyrillic.htmAnd for anyone interested, some history on Sts. Cyril and Methodius. http://www.macedoniainfo.com/cyrill_and_methodius.htmhttp://www.tntt.org/vni/tlieu/saints/St0214.htm

A good read, a bit of Russian-fairytales-come-true-ness... sort of... It's weeeiiirrdd. And a little cheesy, but good.

I looked it up because you said Saint. I wanted to see if he was Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or a Protestant(sp?).

Hermonie Urameshi I looked it up because you said Saint. I wanted to see if he was Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or a Protestant(sp?). All I know is that in Enchantment (Orson Scott Card), he goes, "Wait, you've MET Saint Kyrill??" And the kid goes, "Saint? He can't be a saint, he's not even dead yet rofl " Basically. Definitely NOT exactly quoted.

I have a tape now, so I can go back and add "how it really sounds" soon...
