On: Kazakhstan is changing its alphabet from Cyrillic to Latin-based

[fanzhang]

Is that right? It's not just Cyrillic, but actually Russian language? If so, that's pretty funny.

[forkerenok → fanzhang]

Yes, it's actually Russian.

For a second I thought they wanted to credit the origins of Cyrillic, but realized that then it would be Bulgarian.

Copy-pastable Magazine title (I just copied from a Cyrillic alphabet): Пекарь

Seems to be something about bread.

[nbabitskiy → JetSpiegel]

It's Лекарь (doctor), not Пекарь (baker). It's actually borrowed germanic root[0]
