Pronunciation

[edit]

"[...] in early Slavonic manuscripts the letter appears also in a mirrored form O-I (Ꙕ, ꙕ). It is the latter form that is probably the original, precisely displaying the Greek combination omicron-iota (οι). At the time that the Greek alphabet was adapted to the Slavonic language giving rise to the Cyrillic alphabet, it denoted the close front rounded vowel /y/ in educated Greek speech." (via the Wikipedia article for ю) Is it possible the pronunciation was /y/? I highly doubt it, but it could be a possibility Aoscf77 (talk) Aoscf77 (talk) 12:13, 28 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
