Glagolitic writing
Glagolitic writing is one of the oldest Slavic alphabets, created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius, two Byzantine brothers. It was designed to help Slavs read and write in their own language, using a unique set of characters that visually resembled Greek letters but were adapted to express Slavic sounds. This script played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity and literacy among Slavic peoples. Although it was eventually largely replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet, its historical significance remains, particularly in regions like Croatia, where it is still sometimes celebrated and studied.
