User:BalkanFever/Aromanian Cyrillic Alphabet
This is a version of the Cyrillic Alphabet for the Aromanian language. I created it after finding out that many Aromanians (in Greece) write their language in the (unmodified) Greek alphabet. I figured if they can do that, the Aromanians in Macedonia could write in the Cyrillic alphabet. This alphabet is based mainly on the Macedonian alphabet, with some additions.
