German Cyrillic (Деуч Кыриллишес Алфабет)

The German Cyrillic was devised by Chris Winther, who has a German background, grew up with many Russian friends and neighbours, and is studying Germanic and Slavic languages. He decided to create this alphabet one day out of sheer boredom.

This alphabet is based mainly on the Russian alphabet, with some letters borrowed from the following languages:

Kazakh: Әә (Ää), Ңң (Ng ng) and Өө (Öö)
Kazakh and Uzbek: Ққ (Qq)
Belarusian: Ўў (Üü)
Ukrainian: Єє (Je je)
Serbian/Montenegrin/Bosnian/Macedonian: Јј (Jj)
Tajik and Uzbek: Ҳҳ (Hh)
Azerbaijani: Ҝҝ (Xx)
Bulgarian: Щщ (St st)
