Welcome to our lesson about Russian handwriting. You can take this lesson at any time, it does not need to be done in sequence with the other lessons on this site. Simply complete this lesson when you are ready to learn how to handwrite in Russian. It's useful to have a basic overview of the handwritten Russian alphabet because some letters look quite different to their printed forms. We start by introducing the alphabet one letter at a time. Afterwards we look at some words and phrases written in Russian.

I found some tutorials online and they all mention that the written version of the letters is very different from the print version. However they all show cursive (connected) handwritten letters; in English cursive letters can be very different from non-cursive, and we rarely use cursive anyway, so I'm wondering is there a non-cursive version of the alphabet? When Russians handwrite, are the letters always all connected?

I'm following the New Penguin Russian Course, and I'm in Lesson 2 for handwriting. I wanted to confirm if modern Russian is handwritten like this. Some of these look weird? Like how  is written as U.

Russian alphabet consists of 33 letters divided into 10 vowels, 21 consonants and 2 letters which do not designate any sounds. Each letter can be either capital or small. The letters can also be printed or handwritten.

Let's take another look at the Russian handwritten alphabet. You will find that it is very different from print letters and you need to pay special attention to how the letters are connected with each other. The benefit of knowing Russian cursive letters is that they are much faster to write as compared to print letters.

Russian is a variation of the Cyrillic alphabet. It has a printed and script form, both of which have changed over time. The most important changes to be aware of are those made in the 1918 spelling revision that removed several letters.

Almost every Russian writes in cursive which in some cases differs from Cyrillic print letters a lot! Even if we write in print letters, we almost never use some of them, like  (b) or square  (d). @momotastic27 asked me to show her the way we write Russian letters, so I decided to make a post about it with the help of my friends. It includes the whole alphabet and handwriting examples that are related to YoI, as well as some figure skating vocab, since most of my followers are into YoI!

The Russian language uses the Cyrillic alphabet. The version of the alphabet used today has thirty-three letters, which are listed in the chart below. Click on a letter to learn more about how it is formed and to see other examples of that letter in handwriting from historical records.


Sure, that is an option. However my recommendation is to actually do it right as you are learning the alphabet. Learn to recognize that letter in printed and handwritten versions. Read the books, texts and practice your printed alphabet that way, but handwrite your answers, handwrite the new vocabulary, etc.

This second version of a generic model for handwritten Russian (predominantly late 19th/early 20th century) was trained as part of the MultiHTR project (Freiburg/Germany, www.multihtr.uni-freiburg.de). It incorporates models trained by the Estonian State Archive and the Hamburg-based INEL project. Portions of the GT data have kindly been provided by the Prozhito project (Saint Petersburg) and the Ukraine RD of JewishGen, USA.

In some of the GT transcriptions, pre-1918 letters have been represented faithfully, while in other GT transcriptions, they have been replaced with their modern equivalents.

We expanded the first version of the Russian generic model by adding the Russian Civil Records model by IAJGS, USA as well as several additional sources from the Prozhito database. Moreover, we incorporated data from the HKR dataset ( _Dataset).

I have been thinking about starting to learn Russian and one thing I have noticed is the huge difference between handwritten Russian and typed Russian.Why is there such and difference and how did this come about?

Also, it looks like as time goes by the printed letters may change, while handwritten ones stay almost the same. For example in this answer about letter  you can see that its modern form become popular in 1840, while before that time printed and handwritten  had the similar "angle-shaped" form similar to Greek .

The Early Cyrillic script was commissioned by the Bulgarian Tsar Simeon I the Great in the 9th century AD to replace the Glagolitic script and became official shortly after, in 893. It is derived from the Greek uncial script, augmented with letters from the older Glagolitic alphabet and was named in honor of the two brothers, Saints Cyril and Methodius, who created the Glagolitic alphabet.

The Cyrillic script used in Russia was heavily reformed in the early 18 century by Peter the Great. Several archaic letters were completely removed and others were personally designed by Peter the Great himself. Thus, the updated letters became closer to those of the Latin alphabet.

If we were to compare the Russian alphabet to the English alphabet, we would have four groups of letters: letters that look and sound (almost) the same as in English, letters that sound the same but look different, letters that look the same but sound different and letters that have no English equivalent whatsoever.

Hey!! i am from India & its completely different language for me to learn could you please suggest from where should i start as the alphabets & pronunciation is different from normal English

Most Russian Cyrillic forms share the same construction in uppercase and lowercase, while Bulgarian lowercase forms follow handwritten and calligraphic shapes, making a distinction from the capitals (the images below show Russian uppercase and lowercase examples in grey and the Bulgarian equivalent in pink):

If you can read the printed Russian letters and are planning to go to Russia you might find yourself at a disadvantage as you will encounter handwritten signs and even names of stores, stations, and other important things printed in the script that mimics the handwriting.

Fortunately, support for the project began building at OCLC. With dedicated resources available, OCLC could quickly locate the records the project needed. And OCLC could also clean up inconsistencies in the Latin-alphabet transliteration.

This short course is divided in 7 lesson and you can complete all of them in just one or two days. So, don't rush and finish this course before visiting other resources from our website. The time you spend learning how to read is well invested time. Russian uses a special set of letters: the Cyrillic alphabet. They are 33 letters which are very easy to learn. Below you will find every letter of the Russian alphabet:

The Cyrillic alphabet is a writing system developed in the 10th Century in Bulgaria. This writing system is the source used to create the alphabets of different languages such as Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian or Russian. The Russian alphabet (that's the one you learn in these lessons) is a form of the Cyrillic alphabet and is the script used to write the Russian language.

OK, so I asked Queef_AI about it and there are indeed Russian fonts that mimic written text in Cyrillic, could you add them in, or at least some, or the one that integrates the best with LR so we could learn to read handwritten text while watching stuff we like? 

Thank you and kowabunga my dudes :3

Printed and cursive Russian can look quite different at first, and there are countless stories of students who have learned the Russian alphabet (, azbuka), mastered basic vocabulary, and can read printed Cyrillic without difficulty, yet on visiting Russia, they find not only handwritten notes and letters, but also stylized signs and advertisements totally illegible.

They are different in most printed text, but can be represented in the same way. In handwritten blockletters they usually look the same.

Cyrillic  is in the Russian licence plates, because in countries that do not use the Cyrillic alphabet it will be read as Y.

Cyrillic  always has two strokes, and often a rounded bottom end. Y is usually symmetric when printed. ff782bc1db
