To simplify this story as much as possible, Cyrillic alphabet was created on the basis of the Greek alphabet, which is very popular in the names of American student fraternities and sororities. Most often, those Greek letters are used that are absent in the Latin alphabet, but they are present in the Cyrillic alphabet.
Therefore, for example, the inscriptions on the clothes of American students in this photo can be easily read by every Ukrainian, Russian or Serb person.

Reading your comments, guys, is fun, the history of the languages spoken and written on the Balkans is really interesting. True, the Greek alphabet had been used as a source for the Bulgarian one but there are a lot of letters that are unique and even there are sounds that don't exist in the Greek. Here are some bright examples:

ะ‘ - in Latin, that's B. Greeks use the combination of M&P = MP to write down a similar sound.
ะฉ - in Latin, that would be how "SHT" would be pronounced.
ะฎ - in Latin, that's exactly like "YOU" is pronounced :)

The most funny part is Bulgarian and Greek languages are totally different and there are hardly any words matching :) One interesting fact, the word to say "Yes" in Greek is exactly the one Bulgarians use to say "No" - "Ne".

The Balkans are one interesting, and the most of the time, a boiling place :)))

Even more funny is the fact that I did not mention the Bulgarian language in my comment at all, since I know almost nothing about it ๐Ÿ˜

Well, the post was about the Bulgarian alphabet, based on Cyrillic. It's my mistake to call it "Cyrillic alphabet in focus" ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Anyways.

Hehehe :) Now you do :P
I know a lot of expats, from American, English, Norwegian, Italian origin who love to learn languages and what I hear from them is Bulgarian is one of the hardest languages they had to learn. Well, I don't know about that. What about German? :DDD Or the languages spoken in the Far East? :)

I don't think German is so difficult, but for me, even the Greek language is incomprehensible, despite the origin of the Cyrillic alphabet. I know that the Bulgarian language is difficult for foreigners, but every time I am in Greece, I think: damn it, I don't understand anything here.
I don't even know what I'm buying when I shop in the store, I just go by the pictures. I can't even read the road signs, not even the names of the towns. I've always thought I could do well in many places, but this is where I get confused. It's very complicated for me. ๐Ÿค”

I never knew about the names of the American student fraternities and the Cyrillic/Greek letters in them. ๐Ÿค” That's quite an interesting story! Thank you for it! ๐Ÿ˜Š
