context_page_description: The orthography of Macedonian includes an alphabet, which is an adaptation of the Cyrillic script, as well as language-specific conventions of spelling and punctuation.
  The Macedonian alphabet was standardized in 1945 by a committee formed in Yugoslav Macedonia after the Communist Partisans took power at the end of World War II. The alphabet used the same phonemic principles employed by Vuk Karadžić and Krste Misirkov.
  Before standardization, the language had been written in a variety of different versions of Cyrillic by different writers, influenced by Russian, Early Cyrillic, Bulgarian and Serbian orthography.
