Lacinka alphabet
The łacinka alphabet is a variant of the Latin alphabet used to write the Belarusian language. The first texts using the łacinka alphabet appeared in the 16th century. Its official use ended with the incorporation of Belarus into the Soviet Union in 1921; at the end of World War II it was practically non-existent.
After the fall of the Soviet Union and the independence of Belarus, some groups have advocated the revitalization of the łacinka alphabet, but very few currently do so.
The łacinka alphabet is related to the current Polish and Lithuanian alphabets, its most notable feature being the letter Ŭ (short U), which is not found in either of the other two alphabets (although it is used in Esperanto).
The łacinka alphabet is as follows:
A/a, B/b, C/c, Ć/ć, Č/č, D/d, Dz/dz, Dź/dź, Dž/dž, E/e, F/f, G/g, H/ h, Ch/ch, I/i, J/j, K/k, L/l, Ł/ł, M/m, N/n, Ń/ń, O/o, P/p, R/r, S/s, Ś/ś, Š/š, T/t, U/u, Ŭ/ŭ, V/v, Y/y, Z/z, Ź/ź, Ž/ž
