About this quiz
Russian is written with 33 Cyrillic letters. Several look like Latin letters but stand for different sounds: В is v, Н is n, Р is r and С is s.
- Ъ and Ь, the hard sign and the soft sign, have no sound of their own.
- Some letters need two or more Latin letters: Ж is zh, Х is kh, Ш is sh and Щ is shch.
- И, Й and Ы are three different letters, romanized i, y and y.
