Molodtsov alphabet

Cyrillic Molodtsov alphabet

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)

In addition, the letters Ф ф, Х х, and Ц ц might be used for words borrowed from Russian.

Latin Molodtsov alphabet

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.
