     @piggo I mean, I can't read cyrylic or greek at any reasonable speed, but like....

     А - a
     Б - beta
     Г - gamma
     Д - delta
     Е - e (actually ye but close enough)
     К - k
     Л - lambda
     М - m
     О - o
     П - pi
     Р - rho
     У - upsilon
     Ф - phi
     Х - chi

     that's like half of the wildly used ones.

     Well ok the other half is kinda confusing and has no obvious connection to greek.

     oh, also:
     С - sigma

     then there's the weird stuff
     В - v
     Ж - ž
     З - z
     И - i
     Н - n
     Ц - c
     Ч - č
     Ш - š
     Щ - šč
     Э - e (for real this time)
     Ю - yo
     Я - ya
     Ъ, Ы, Ь - put i or e here when you feel like there were too many consonants in a row

     That's the way I understand it, which is probably horrible and wrong on many levels but I do get some intelligible stuff this way.

     @wolf480pl @piggo

     > Ъ, Ы, Ь

     Those are not like you say. The middle one is an open "i". The other two strengthen or lighten the sound of the previous. What I mean here is the one in the middle is just a normal letter while the others can fit your definition better (they are like pseudoletters, they don't represent any sound by themselves).

     Me, a western european teaching cirilic to a central? eastern? -european feels crazy as fuck but hey! I know what I'm talking about for once!

     also
     > Ю - yo
     That's yu, not yo.
     ë is yo.

     @ekaitz_zarraga @piggo
     I'm not sure they're pronounced exactly like this, probably depends a lot on dialect too...

     @wolf480pl @piggo That's interesting. Are there many dialects in central europe?
     Russian is quite uniform in the whole country, and spanish is weird but I wouldn't consider that we have strong dialects here, like italians have for instance.
     We have some full-blown languages and it's a lot of fun.
