Russian cursive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Russian cursive alphabet)
Russian cursive is the handwritten form of the modern Russian language, used instead of the block letters seen in printed material. Some letters look much like Latin/Roman cursive letters, but most have different sounds. In addition, Russian italics for the lowercase letters are often based on Russian cursive (such as lowercase ΠΆ, which looks like Latin m). Most handwritten Russian, especially personal letters and schoolwork, uses the cursive alphabet. In Russian schools, most children are taught by first grade how to write using this script.

The cursive form first appeared late-Middle Ages, succeeding the current ustav or "block letter" writing.[1]
