What is the Slavic alphabet?

There isn't a single "Slavic alphabet". Instead, different Slavic languages use various alphabets:

1. Cyrillic: This is the most common alphabet used by Slavic languages. It's based on the Greek alphabet and was adapted in the 9th century for Old Church Slavonic.

* Languages using Cyrillic: Bulgarian, Belarusian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian, etc.

2. Latin: Some Slavic languages use the Latin alphabet, which is the alphabet used for English, French, Spanish, etc.

* Languages using Latin: Czech, Polish, Slovak, Slovene, Croatian, Sorbian

3. Glagolitic: This is an older alphabet, also based on the Greek alphabet, and used for Old Church Slavonic before Cyrillic became dominant.

* Languages using Glagolitic: Only used historically.

Note: Some languages use a combination of Cyrillic and Latin letters. For example, Serbian can be written in both alphabets, though Cyrillic is the official script.

Here's a table summarizing the Slavic alphabets:

| Language | Alphabet |

|-------------------|---------------|

| Bulgarian | Cyrillic |

| Serbian | Cyrillic/Latin |

| Ukrainian | Cyrillic |

| Czech | Latin |

It's important to remember that each language has its own specific variations and adaptations of the chosen alphabet.
