[edit] Using the Cyrillic alphabet navbox

This is a simple navigation table, as seen on the right. Title attributes serve as English labels. Letters are correlated according to Unicode. Currently at Template:Cyrillic alphabet navbox.

The navbox currently only contains letters of the modern and archaic Slavic languages. When a reference is available, perhaps the non-Slavic alphabets should be added.

Archaic letters
Ҁ	Ѹ	Ѡ	Ѿ	Ѻ	Ѣ	ІА

The template would be inserted into the page with the following code. Parameters insert the heading and link to the image.

 {{Template:Cyrillic alphabet navbox|
 Heading=Cyrillic letter A|
 Image=[[Image:Cyrillic letter A.png]]
 }}

The template includes a link to Category:Cyrillic letters, so the letter page doesn't need this link added at the bottom.

[edit] Letter images

Images for the above template. Names follow the Unicode convention. Uk image from the early Cyrillic alphabet contains both the original and vertical ligature forms.

[edit] E-grave and I-grave

For some reason my browser does not display two letters - E_grave and I_grave. I wonder why only those two letters. Also I am just curious which Slavic languages use them. --rydel 13:05, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I think the default Windows installation is missing fonts that contain these characters. I have a Mac; does someone know better? The template specifies Lucida Grande, Arial Unicode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode fonts which should work. I think at least one of those gets installed with MS Office.

Download Code 2000 font. It's free, and includes characters a huge number of languages. Other good I18N font pointers are at Wood's site.

Which languages? Good question. If I can't find a reference, I'll remove these from the navbox.

[edit] Table formatting

I'm replacing class="toccolours" with inline styles. The combination of border-collapse plus padding, plus border made parts of the border disappear in Safari. I hope it still looks as intended in your browser. —Michael Z. 2005-02-1 17:44 Z

[edit] New additions

I came from Chinese wikipedia and I have added five alphabets, Әә, Өө, Үү, Һһ, Ӏ, in the navbox there. (See zh:Я) Would you like to add them into English wikipedia as well? Besides, I have uploaded Image:Cyrillic letter Schwa.png on Commons Wikipedia. Feel free to use.--Hello World! 06:38, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Placement of Gje and Kje in table

In the master image for this template, and in the Cyrillic alphabet article, and in the Macedonian alphabet article, Gje does not appear directly after Ge, and Kje does not appear directly after Ka. (In Macedonian, Gje is after De, and in the master Cyrillic list, it appears after Dje, which doesn't appear in Macedonian. For Kje, the preceding characters are Te and Tshe, respectively.) When I asked about this on the Talk:Macedonian_alphabet page, Bjankuloski06en responded with a note on my talk page confirming the order reported on the Macedonian and Cyrillic page, so I'm reporting the issue here. I'm hesitant to make the edit myself because a) I'm very much a newbie at Wikipedia markup, and b) I figured that altering a template, which will propagate across a wide variety of articles, is probably a reasonably major deal. In any case, if one of you who watches this item could either make the change (or reject it with an explanation as to why the table should remain inconsistent with the primary Cyrillic alphabet article) that would be much appreciated.
