Cyrillic Reform

The Cyrillic Reform refers to planned changes to the Cyrillic alphabet, which is used for several Slavic languages like Russian and Bulgarian. These reforms aim to simplify or standardize the alphabet by removing unnecessary letters, adjusting spellings, or modernizing the script to improve literacy, align with pronunciation, or facilitate printing and digital use. Historically, such reforms have been motivated by linguistic clarity and efficiency, often reflecting broader societal and political shifts. Overall, the goal is to make reading, writing, and communication in these languages more streamlined while respecting their historical roots.
