[edit] Letters Й and Ў

Is the letter Й in the Abkhaz alphabet? --84.61.45.143 14:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Is the letter Ў in the Abkhaz alphabet? --84.61.45.143 14:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

They are not. Sephia karta 23:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Come to think of it, they were once apparently (at least Й was), in a previous incarnation of the alphabet. sephia karta 03:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Improvement

User Mikkalei, I saw that you reverted some of my changes, and then reintroduced them. I just wanted to note that to my knowledge, this is what the Abkhaz alphabet looks like, based on the "Abkhaz Newspaper Reader" by Hewitt and Khiba. The body text needs improvement though, and ideally the table should be expanded to include past Abkhaz alphabets and different transliteration schemes. Sephia karta 03:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

what's the point of the last sentence which states that the word alphabet was borrowed from georgian language? is it to show that abkhaz language is somehow connected to georgian? that's silly. it should be deleted. intelligent people and linguists know that the two languages almost have no relation at all.

Nobody denies that these languages aren't related at all. However if it's true (that анбан is alphabet in Abkhaz) I don't think it should be removed. Alæxis¿question? 05:46, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Neither do I. — N-true 15:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
