the idea of writing a language in a different writing system than it's usually in is so interesting to me. Like,
те идеа ов вритинг а лангваш ин а дипрент вритинг системы тан ит'с юшуалиь вриттен ин ис со интерестинг то ми. Лаикь. (Russian cyrillic)
Θε ιδεα οφ βριτινγ αι λανγυαγε ιν αι διφερεντ βριτινγ συστεμ θαν θτει άυρε υοσιαλλι βριτεν ιν ις σου ιντερεστινγ το με. Λαικε. (greek)
And even in the same alphabet, but different language it is fun. Though that's more common.
Annd iven in de saime alfhabet, bøtt diffærent længuagsj itt is fønn. Dåv datt's måre kommon. (Norwegian latin)
(disclaimer that I'm not that good at either the Greek nor the cyrillic alphabet. Any suggestions as to how to improve this trans-alphabet thing are welcome!)
it's interesting when there are like just sounds kinda missing. It's probably easier there more you know the alphabet and languages using it, but like "f" in Russian is like ???, I used the kinda v-sounding one because v and f are pretty similar, but there might be a better version. And trying to get "they" and "are" in Greek was difficult as well, I probably need to learn more about diphtongs in Greek and the é and à thingies.

National anthem of Ukraine: Ukraine will not perish (Ще не вмерла України)
It is a tragic national anthem. Why does Russia bully Ukraine, which uses the same Cyrillic alphabet? They are called sibling languages. If you can read Russian, you can read Ukrainian. To begin with, Russia has continued to persecute Ukraine. During Stalin's time, Russia stole grain from Ukraine and millions of Ukrainians starved to death. ...It is Russia that should be destroyed.
ウクライナ国歌:ウクライナは滅びず(Ще не вмерла України)
悲壮な国歌である。ロシアは、同じキリル文字を使うウクライナを、どうしてこうも苛めるのだろう。兄弟言語と言われるのに。ロシア語が読めれば、ウクライナ語は読める。そもそも、ロシアはウクライナを迫害し続けてきた。スターリンの時代、ロシアはウクライナから穀物を強奪して、数百万人のウクライナ人が飢え死にした。・・・滅びるべきはロシアである。

*minding my own business*
...I had to reread it twice to make sure I was reading it right.

Honestly, something like this would've been so helpful when beginning to learn Russian (or just the Cyrillic alphabet in general). The only problem is that Russian, at least, is handwritten pretty much exclusively in cursive, so learning to write block letters has little real-world application.

I tried to join dollhousemafia but the greeting message was in russian so I nope'd out... don't trust that.
The greeting message is in multiple languages--I believe English, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish--for the benefit of non-English speaking players.
Foreign languages cannot cause you physical harm. I promise.
