Spanish Cyrillic (Еспаӈи́рико)

Spanish Cyrillic was invented by Stefan Stanchev (Стефан Станчев) from Bulgaria in September 2017. His favorite writing system is Cyrillic, and he wanted to see what his favorite language would look like when written with his native alphabet. He thought it would also help him to learn and understand Spanish. The letters are based on Slavic Cyrillic, few of Turkic Cyrillic, and one of them from Old Cyrillic.

Notes

Áá: amará - амарá

Xx in Españírico is written with КСкс in words, such as: extranjero - екстранхеро or galaxía - гаԓакси́а; but México, mexicano, mexicanos, mexicana or mexicanas are written with Xx: Мéхико, мехикано, мехиканос, мехикана and мехиканас. This is because in these words the Latin letter Xx is pronounced like Xx in Cyrillic. Although in initial position Xx is pronounced like Ss in few words like хilófono or хenofobia, in Españírico Xx is written again with КСкс: ксиԓóфоно and ксенофобиа
