Kiriru (Кириру / キリル)

Kiriru was invented by Malcolm Lutz when he noticed that there were no adaptatations of the Cyrillic alphabet for Japanese on Omniglot yet. Malcolm constructed the alphabet carefully so that each sound has its own distinct letter. Kiriru was influenced a bit from Korillic, an adaptation of the Cyrillic alphabet for Korean.
