How it works

A Glagolitic alphabet translation, letter by letter: the capital letters in order, each with its name, the Cyrillic letter it matches and its sound, then the small letters. Ⰰ is az, Cyrillic А; Ⰱ is buki, Б.

Names that are words

Many letters are named with a word: Ⰰ az means I, Ⰱ buki letters, Ⰴ dobro good and Ⱄ slovo word. The names under the tiles are the Church Slavonic ones; the Old Church Slavonic spelling and the sound are in each letter's note.

The oldest Slavic alphabet

Glagolitic is the oldest known Slavic alphabet, made in the 9th century to put Greek church texts into Old Church Slavonic. Early Cyrillic, which took in some of its letters, gradually replaced it. The original sound of many letters is not always clear, so the sounds given are approximate.

  • Ⱇ fert and Ⱚ fita wrote words taken from Greek: the older Slavic language had no f.
  • The order of izhe, Ⰹ and Ⰺ, and i, Ⰻ, differs between sources, and so does the order of the four yus.
  • A device with no Glagolitic font shows empty boxes in place of the letters.

Questions and answers

How many letters are in the Glagolitic alphabet?

41 letters are known today; how many the first alphabet had is not known. Unicode has 48 capital and 48 small letters, and 47 of each are here: the pair added in Unicode 14.0 did not draw when the tiles were tested.

What do the Glagolitic letters stand for?

Sounds of Old Church Slavonic. Each tile gives a letter's name and its Cyrillic match, and its note adds the sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Izhe and Ⰻ carry no match: how they pair with Cyrillic letters is not known.

Can Glagolitic be translated into English?

Letter by letter it can be respelled: each letter has a sound and nearly always a Cyrillic match. The texts themselves are in Old Church Slavonic and later Slavic languages, so the words still need translating.

Is Glagolitic in Unicode?

Yes, since version 4.1 of March 2005. The Glagolitic block runs from U+2C00 to U+2C5F, capital letters first.

How this list was compiled: Every character was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt): the code points and the character names in the notes come from that file, names in sentence case. Block names come from Blocks.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt) and the Unicode version each character arrived in from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), both version 18.0.0. Other names of a character come from NamesList.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt). The order of the letters, the name of each, the Cyrillic letters it is set beside, its sound in the International Phonetic Alphabet and the meaning of its Old Church Slavonic name follow the alphabet table of Wikipedia's Glagolitic script article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glagolitic_script), which lists the letters in what it calls their modern order and says that the order of izhe and i, and of the four yus, varies from source to source. A tile name is the article's Church Slavonic spelling, the one it calls more familiar to an English reader; where the article has no usable name the Unicode letter name stands instead and the note says so. The Cyrillic letter in a tile name is the first one of the table that is in the Cyrillic block; izhe and i carry none, because the article says their match is not known. The four letters the table does not list come last, in the order of their code points. A small letter is the lowercase mapping of its capital in UnicodeData.txt. Left out: the two caudate chrivi letters, added in Unicode 14.0, which did not draw when the tiles were tested, the pair of letters the table lists as yery, and the combining letters of the Glagolitic Supplement block. No locale of CLDR is written in these letters, so there was none to compare. The tile names and the grouping are this site's own. Each tile was drawn on 2026-10-09 before it was kept, and all that are here drew. All sources were read on 2026-10-09. Licence: own work
