The Cyrillic script /sɨˈrɪlɪk/ is an alphabetic writing system employed across Eurasia. It is based on the Early Cyrillic which was developed in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century AD at the Preslav Literary School. It is the basis of alphabets used in various languages past and present in parts of the Balkans and Northern Eurasia especially those of Slavic origin and non-Slavic languages influenced by Russian.
