Komi language has a very interesting history of writing, unusual among Finnic languages. The first writing system, known as Abur, was invented in the 14th century by the missionary Stepan Khrap, apparently of a Komi mother in Velikiy Ustyug. Stephen later became a Komi saint. The alphabet shows some similarity to medieval Greek and Cyrillic. In the 16th century this alphabet was replaced by the Russian alphabet with certain modifications for affricates. In the 1920s, the language was written in Molodtsov alphabet, also derived from Cyrillic. In the 1930s it was switched to Latin. Since the 1940s it uses the Russian alphabet plus the additional letters І, і and Ӧ, ӧ. A writing system, also called a script, is used to visually record a language with symbols. ...
