Bosnian[edit]
Bosnian should be added to the list. --PaxEquilibrium 21:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Languages of the Caucasus[edit]
Why is the clarification "This group is not assumed to comprise genetically related subgroups" needed here? Do the peoples speaking the languages in question really hate each others so much that they are very afraid that somebody might think languages indicate "genetic" relationship? Sigh... --TorLillqvist 05:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- I would rather suggest that the languages are not genetically related, i.e., they have evolved separately, cf comparative linguistics: "Genetic relatedness implies a common origin or proto-language [...]". Andreas (T) 19:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
romaniam[edit]
hello everybody, it says in the article that cyrilic is used in romanian however i'm a student in romania and i learn in romanian lang and no one here in using cyrillic. in all street street signs, reading material's (newspapres, proffesional materials and general reading) the letters used here are the same latin letters as in english and a few diacritical signs that are not being used in the common handwriting and sometimes not even in some of our technical reading material and official documents. in fact, non of the students knows how to read cyrilic letters and further more - almost all grownups are not as well. cyrilic is being used in moldova but unlike what is claimd in the article - moldovanian student use cyrilic only when they write in russian, since in moldova the official lang is russian but at home everybody uses romanian. romanian lang originated from latin and nowdays might be the closest lang to latin as can be, and so are the letters used.
sorry for any spelling or grammer mistakes, eglish is not my native lang, hope what i wrote is understandable... (please correct any spelling\grammer mistakes i've made when answering). 213.233.88.80 (talk) 17:08, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- It's Romanian in Moldova, not Romania. Moldovans used to write in Cyrillic before changeover to Roman letters. Anatoli (talk) 19:01, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- They used to write in Cyrillic because they were forced to talk and to write in Russian. Right now they use Romanian letters, but in the article it apears to claime that they use Cyrillic nowdays, which is not true at all. 213.233.88.163 (talk) 21:49, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Should Polish be added?[edit]
Nicholas_I_of_Russia planed to use Cyrillic alphabet for Polish language as part of Russification of Congress Poland. Whole orthography was developed and it was used in some printed publications.

Greek[edit]
I removed Greek from the list, which was added with the note that "the Cyrillic script was designed so that it is usable with Greek". While the note may be correct, I think it's a stretch to say that Greek was ever written in the Cyrillic alphabet, except for the purposes of transliterating foreign terms. And whatever compatibility may have existed in the scripts at the time Cyrillic was invented, it's certainly no longer present today. Could we please get a cite for the claim that Greek is written in Cyrillic before reinserting it? —Psychonaut (talk) 08:12, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
