Description Hello there, if you are easily offended, leave now.
I am a Czech. and as you might know, Czechs do use latin alphabet with diacritic and one digraph with a total of 42 letters. I have seen a lot of people expecting Czech to use a cyrillic alphabet as eastern Slavs (yes, I have met a lot of ignorance and comparing us to Russians, which is generally not a great idea ), so I decided to really vent my stress by making a relevant Czech cyrillic alphabet, which is a slightly edited version of the version I used for one of my maps .
This alphabet is frankensteined from Serbian , Ukrainian and Russian cyrillic alphabets and I had to add a symbol for a voiced alveolar fricative trill , which is not present in other languages (I picked a combination of cyrillic symbols for R:Р and Ž:Ж to create a new letter, Ԗ (miniscule ԗ, this letter , named "Rha " was used in Moksha language in 1920's)).
Yellow symbolises the changes from digraph to one character and vice versa, red symbolises removal of a symbol.
As a last little note, I do not see this as a good idea to use, I am happy with the current alphabet (well, maybe change Ch to Ȟ), but it can be helpful if you are using Czech as a base for a eastern european culture (maybe Chernarus style).
