Answer
The Cyrillic alphabet was developed in the 9th century by two brothers, Saints Cyril and Methodius, who were missionaries to the Slavs. The alphabet was based on the Greek alphabet, but with some additions to represent the sounds of the Slavic language. Church Slavonic was the language that Cyril and Methodius used to translate the Bible into Slavic.
