It usually looks like this, with the dotted i's, which is a lot more legible.

Yes. And we can read that because we've a passing familiarity with Latin cursive. I assume Cyrillic readers can make sense of the Russian example, even if we're clueless.

Now, an exercise for you guys. Answer which script this is without peeking at the table:

Where cyrillic or georgian script

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

Cyrilllic is bulgarian in origin, but I think this picture describes eastern asian scripts (there are other cool ones among those, like tamil).

Which asian language uses those?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan

I thought Kazakhstan switched to Latin script

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

The transition is still undergoing. Takes a while to switch.
