Russian Orthography

Russian orthography refers to the standardized system of spelling and writing the Russian language. It includes rules for using the Cyrillic alphabet, punctuation, and conventions for representing sounds and word structures. The system aims to promote consistency, making written Russian understandable and accessible. Over time, orthography has evolved to reflect pronunciation changes, but it also preserves historical spellings. While it may involve certain complexities, such as spelling rules for vowels and consonants, its primary purpose is to reliably convey meaning and facilitate communication among Russian speakers.
