Macedonian Alphabet

The Macedonian alphabet consists of 31 letters derived from the Cyrillic script, officially standardized in 1945 by linguist Blaze Koneski. It is one of the most phonetically consistent alphabets in the world — every letter represents exactly one sound.

It includes six letters unique to Macedonian: Ѓ (Gj), Ѕ (Dz), Љ (Lj), Њ (Nj), Ќ (Kj), and Џ (Dzh). These handle sounds that other Cyrillic scripts write with multi-letter combinations.

Unlike Russian or Bulgarian Cyrillic, Macedonian has no silent letters and no yer (ъ/ь) characters. Once you learn all 31 letters you can read any Macedonian word out loud — correctly.

The alphabet is written left-to-right. Uppercase and lowercase forms differ in shape for some letters (e.g. Г г, Д д, Т т), which is why the training cards show both forms together.
