The Cyrillic Molodtsov alphabet (Komi: Молодцов анбур, Molodcov anbur) is an alphabet derived from Cyrillic that was used in the 1920s and 1930s to write two versions of the Komi language; Komi-Zyrian and Komi-Permyak. It was replaced by the Latin Molodtsov alphabet in 1931[1] and later by the Cyrillic alphabet in the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
The letters particular to the Cyrillic Molodtsov alphabet are: Ԁ Ԃ Ԅ Ԇ Ԉ Ԋ Ԍ Ԏ (the hooks represent palatalization)
А а | Б б | В в | Г г | Ԁ ԁ | Ԃ ԃ | Е е | Ж ж | Җ җ | З з | Ԅ ԅ |
Ԇ ԇ | І і | Ј ј | К к | Л л | Ԉ ԉ | М м | Н н | Ԋ ԋ | О о | Ӧ ӧ |
П п | Р р | С с | Ԍ ԍ | Т т | Ԏ ԏ | У у | Ч ч | Ш ш | Щ щ | Ы ы |
In addition, the letters Ф ф, Х х, and Ц ц might be used for words borrowed from Russian.
The Latin Molodtsov alphabet[2] was prolifically employed in the Perm Oblast, where virtually all Komi-language publications from 1932 to 1936 were made in the Latin Molodtsov alphabet.
