List of Cyrillic letters

Variants of Cyrillic are used by the writing systems of many languages, especially languages used in the former Soviet Union. The tables below show the primary sounds represented by the letters in many languages – see the articles on the languages for more detail. The highlighted letters are those of the basic Cyrillic alphabet (the original Cyrillic alphabet without the letters no longer used by any language).
