font to show alternate form
[edit]My Garamond font does not contain Cyrillic letters, and so the "alternate form" looked the same as the regular form. I added 'Gill Sans' to the font-family list. Other fonts may need to be added as others find that the "alternate form" displays the same as the regular form. —Coroboy (talk) 06:25, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Pronounciation of letters in Cyrillic
[edit]In predominantly Slavic countries, that use Cyrillic alphabet, right pronounciation goes A-Be-Ve-Ge-De... (А,Б,В,Г,Д...) and not A-Bee-Cee-Dee... (A,B,V,G,D...) like in Latin alphabet. In this case, letter "Л" is pronounced "Le" and not "El". This should be corrected/applied to all letters. It sounds like it's written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.226.240.62 (talk) 23:11, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- In Russian, the names of many of the letters are pronounced in the pattern Be-Ve-Ge-De, but not all. See, for example:

- Can you provide references to published sources for other names of the letter ‹Л›? —Coroboy (talk) 11:30, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

In Russian pronunciation of Л as Le is highly informal and also incorrect, only the children or non-educated adolescences pronounce it like Le, the only standard of the name of Л in Russian is Эль (El).--Orange-kun (talk) 14:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
"An alternate form of the letter El more closely resembles the Greek letter Lambda"
[edit]However, that applies only to upper-case, right? (I don't think the Cyrillic ever resembles Greek lower-case λ...) AnonMoos (talk) 17:07, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
