The Ukrainian language, like Russian and Belarusian, uses the Cyrillic writing system, but Ukrainian alphabet has quite many differences from the aforementioned languages. Cyrillic alphabet is the modification of Greek alphabet which was used by saint fathers Cyril and Methodius to write sacred texts translated in Old Slavonic language. That is why many letters of the Ukrainian alphabet are similar to the Latin letters (because the Latin alphabet was also based on the Greek one).
HUSPI was among the numerous companies across Ukraine that moved all internal communication to Ukrainian and since a lot of the team members have kids, we started thinking what can be done for our children to simplify the transition. Many pivots and changes later, we got to the idea of the Ukrainian alphabet mobile app for kids.
Ukrainian is the official language of Ukraine. It's a Slavic language, which means it's related to languages such as Russian, Czech, and Polish. This is a huge language family with lots of linguistic diversity, so modern Ukrainian shares some commonalities with its closest relatives, Russian and Belorussian, and fewer with its more distant cousins (like Czech). (If you're more familiar with Western European languages, Romance languages may provide a helpful analogy.) Like its neighbors, Ukrainian uses a version of the Cyrillic alphabet, which shares a lot of letters with the Russian writing system but which also has a few unique letters to represent sounds specific to Ukrainian.
The Ukrainian alphabet is meant to represent Ukrainian sounds, so sometimes sounds and distinctions get lost when Ukrainian words are written in the Latin alphabet. One result is that sometimes the same Ukrainian word or name ends up with multiple different representations in the Latin alphabet. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's name is a good example of this. In the Ukrainian nominative case (that's the one for the subject of the sentence), the last two letters of his name are и (y) and й (i). Since the English pronunciation of "y" and "i" is the same at the end of the word, you'll often see "Zelensky," but you might also see "Zelenskyi" or "Zelenskyy," which more closely reflect the Ukrainian spelling. Zelenskyy's own Twitter account uses this last option, as does Duolingo curriculum designer Mykhaylo Zakryzhevskyy!
Ukrainian is a Slavic language and uses the a form of the Cyrillic alphabet (as opposed to the Roman alphabet we use). Variants of the Cyrillic alphabet are used in lots of counties in Eastern Europe, e.g. Belarus, Ukraine, Serbia, Russia, Bulgaria and Macedonia.
