glagolski

Glagolski is a type of Cyrillic script used in the Middle Ages for writing Old Church Slavonic, a liturgical language of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The term "glagolski" is derived from the word "glagol," which means "word" or "speech" in Old Church Slavonic. The script was developed in the 9th century by the Byzantine monk Cyril and his brother Methodius, who were tasked by the Byzantine Emperor with creating a written form of the Slavic languages. The glagolski script was used primarily for religious texts and liturgical purposes, and it played a significant role in the spread of Christianity among the Slavic peoples. The script was eventually replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet, which was also developed by Cyril and Methodius and is still in use today for writing many Slavic languages. Despite its historical significance, the glagolski script is now largely obsolete and is primarily of interest to historians and linguists.
