The Glagolitic alphabet is the first Slavic alphabet created in 862 or 863 by Sts. Cyril and Methodius. This alphabet was used in more Slavic lands: Bohemia and Moravia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Kievan Rus etc. It was mostly used in Croatia, where it remained till 19th century but from 16th century onwards it slowly gave way to Latin alphabet. There are two types of the Glagolitic alphabet; one is Angular Glagolitic alphabet and the other is Round Glagolitic alphabet.

Name[edit]

In English this alphabet is called Glagolitic, name that is coined centuries after the alphabet was invented. The name comes from the Slavic word glagolъ, which means speak or utterance. It has been conjectured that the name glagolitsa developed in Croatia around the 14th century and was derived from the word glagolity, applied to adherents of the liturgy in Slavonic.
