It is the premise of letter sets utilized within different dialects, over a wide span of time, in parts of the Balkans and Northern Eurasia, particularly those of Slavic source, and non-Slavic dialects impacted by Russian.


Cyrillic is determined from the Greek uncial script, increased by letters from the more established Glagolitic letter set, including a few ligatures.
