Dzhe or Gea (Џ џ; italics: Џ џ)
is a letter of the Cyrillic script
used in Macedonian and
varieties of Serbo-Croatian
(Bosnian, Montenegrin, and Serbian)
to represent the
voiced postalveolar affricate /d͡ʒ/,
like the pronunciation of ⟨j⟩ in
“jump”.
Џ џ
The Lord's Prayer, in an 1850’s religious document
from Romania
The letter Dzhe was first
used in the 15th century
Romanian Cyrillic alphabet,
as a modified form of the
letter ⟨ч⟩.
Serbian scribes began using it in the
17th century. Vuk Karadžić included it
in his Cyrillic script reform, when the
letter entered widespread use.
The modern Macedonian alphabet
was developed by linguists in the
period after the Second World War,
who based their alphabet on the
phonetic alphabet of Vuk Karadžić.
The most
popular
person who
used the
Cyrillic script
is
…
DRACULA
The real DRACULA of course!
Vlad III Dracula, known as Vlad the
Impaler (Romanian: Vlad Țepeș or
Vlad Dracula; Romanian: Vlad
Drăculea; 1428/31 – 1476/77), was
Voivode of Wallachia three times
between 1448 and his death.
He is often considered one of the most
important rulers in Wallachian history
and a national hero of Romania.
This is Dracula's
gravestone.
As we can see, it is
written in the old
Cyrillic alphabet
