:Being still pagans, the Slavs did not have their own letters, but read and communicated by means of tallies and sketches. After their baptism they were forced to use Roman and Greek letters in the transcription of their Slavic words but these were not suitable ... At last, God, in his love for mankind, sent them St. Constantine the Philosopher, called Cyril, a learned and upright man, who composed for them thirty-eight letters, some (24 of them) similar to the Greek, but some (14 of them) different, suitable to express Slavic sounds. Excerpt from An Account of Letters from Чрьноризьць Храбръ - Bulgarian monk, scholar and writer, who worked at the Preslav Literary School at the end of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century.
