So, I have developed a Cyrillic alphabet for German that is mostly phonetic, or as phonetic as one can get when writing German. Because there are so many different ways to pronounce German, I have chosen to write for Standard German / Hochdeutsch / Standarddeutsch. So, here we are:



Forgot /h/:

h
h
ӵ

Some examples:

Wie heißt Du?
Вй ӵӗст Ду?

Die Treppen sind da drüben.
Дй Трепен зинт да дрўбен.

Ich war mehr oder weniger korrekt.
Их вар мӑр одѝ вйнигѝ корект.

Der Bus nach Prag wird mittags zu verlassen.
Дӑр Бус нах Прак вирд митакс ҙу фӑрласен.


Comments??

Some questions and corrections.
Does ў represent the long and the short ü? Or just one of them?
I think the columns for З and Ж are wrong, i think they should be
z ʒ
s j
З Ж
The title should be "Дас Дэчѐ Кўрилишѐ Алфабет"
Did you develop it just for fun? I think it would fit pretty nice in a book where the UDSSR rules a large part of the world or something like this.

This kinda makes more sense to me for the German language than the Latin alphabet. But I do like the Cyrillic alphabet a lot anyway!

Shouldn't /j/ be i kratkoje (Йй)? And, to be honest, Ээ is definitely a better fit for /ε/ then Ее is, since (in Russian, the language utilising Cyrillic I am familiar with) Ee is /jε/, not /ε/.

Yes, й is the same sound as j in German.

Well, е in Cyrillic is pronounced /jε/ only in the beginning of word : едем = jedem.
Difference between е and э is that the consonant before is palatized or not. This can be shown on this English transliteration example :
man = мэн
men = мен

I think Cyrillic in its original form is already enough to transcribe german exactly. Only for two letters need something new: h and ä .
And it looks really good, more compact than in Latin, since sch = ш, ch = х.

Здравствуйте!
How do you get man from мэн? In all transliteration schemes I've seen, э is e, and e is je or ye... If your trying to show palitalisation in English, as far as I'm aware, we do not employ it...

Добрый день!



No, I show a converse axample. Here is more showing example how I transcribe English words with Cyrillic letters, just to show what sounds they represent in our writing:

I am a man -- ай эм э мэн
We are men -- уи а мен

For German words
müll -- мюль
mehl -- мель
der -- дэр

And indeed letter e in written russian is pronounced like two sounds [je] ONLY when it stays in the beginning of word or after a vowel, as do also letters ю, я, ё.

юра = йура = yura [jura]
But: люба = lüba
ясно = йасно = yasno
But: мяу = miao (one sound but with palatized m)
ёж = йож = yozh
But: лёд = löd

I don't understand what this is supposed to illustrate. Mehl and der have the same vowel in Standard German, namely [eː].

Yes of course it's just a typo, I should've written мэль . In Russian almost all consonants before e are palatized, that is why э appears very seldom and mostly in foreign words.

Спокойной ночи
Though as a library book I was using from the 80's put it: Ээ is not used at all outside of foreign words.... Which meant I had to double check that book with another to find that simply isn't true.

Why use Aa in the Latin script for Ээ? There is a perfectely good Ee for that, and you need Aa for Aa (Cyrillic) anyway... It's like the transliteration schemes in history books about Russia (and the Tsars!), transliterating Oo as Aa all the time when it's unstressed, giving names like Великий Новгород as Vyelikiy Novgarad (Which causes endless confusion to readers of different books, 'cause some use ī or i with breve for й, others use j (like myself), and some use y...) So, in my opinion, something like, say Привет should be Privjet.
