35 Most Interesting Responses To “Without Telling The Name Of Your Country, Where Do You Live?”
A lot of effort is put into decreasing the pervasiveness of stereotypes, for instance in the workplace. However, sometimes stereotypes bring entertainment: in sitcoms, they are commonly used as comedic devices. Think Kelly Bundy from "Married With Children" representing the dumb and sexually liberated blonde trope. The hurtful nature and the joy of reclaiming a stereotype is illustrated by plenty of sketches with the joke being that character realizes they are not close friends with someone after the person they teased with stereotypes gets offended.

Didn't St. Cyril, a Greek monk, create the cyrillic alphabet in (what is now northern) Macedonia
L.Maverick 3 years ago
It was created by two monks (Kiril and Method) for the bulgarian King Boris II. It was common in these times that "only who writes will stay", so the king hired profesionals to make an alphabeth for the bulgarian people and language (which is crazy, look it up for yourself). Russians use it too, but it was invented for bulgarians.

Nope. Even wikipedia says it - written by demand of a bulgarian king. Sorry

Uses Russian alphabet, but not Russian.. gotta be more specific. The Cyrillic script was named for a Greek, St. Cyril, who created a new script to help spread the bible (and literacy) to Slavic tribes... although the script they actually wrote is now called Glagolitic script. The actual script called Cyrillic was actually created a couple of later, but was in the spirit of Sts Cyril, so accredited to him by... BULGARIA???!!!
Nirity 3 years ago
It was always accredited by Bulgaria - because it was created by demand of the Bulgarian king to spread the bible to Slavic tribes (as you said). The king invited the saints in the Bulgarian country to continue their scholarship, and gave them this specific order. It's not just St. Kiril, they are two brothers - Cyril and Methodius. Methodius first created the Glagolitc script, but it was too complicated and rejected, his brother Cyril improved it a lot to create the cyrilic script and be more similar with the latin alphabet without losing the specifics of the slavic laguages. That's why they are sacred for Bulgarians and there is a national holiday devoted to them. Russians took the alphabet as a gift after they helped Bulgaria to be free from ottoman (now Turkey) slavery which continued 500 years and stopped the ottomans to colonize Europe.

I think Estonia uses the Latin alphabet. I know for sure that Estonia, Finland and Hungary is one of the smaller language groups.
