Russian is an Eastern Slavonic language closely related to Ukrainian and Belorussian with about 277 million speakers in Russia and 30 other countries. The Cyrillic alphabet was introduced into Russia (Kievan Rus' ) at the time of its conversion to Christianity (988 AD).
You will find it relatively easy to get started with the Cyrillic alphabet because many letters remind those in English. There are six exact sound and look-alikes (A, E, K, M, O, T) while many other Russian letters are similar to their English counterparts by either how they look or sound.
Vowels. 10 Russian vowel letters indicate just 6 vowel sounds. Why is this happening? Russian vowel letters are often presented in pairs. Two different letters in each pair have one common vowel sound: one letter indicates a solo vowel, another letter indicates the consonant sound [й] / [“j”] + the same vowel sound.
