    Glagolica Alphabet - Macedonia and Croatia

    As we know, Glagolica spread from Macedonia and maintained itself firmly in some parts of Croatia, although there are some sources that refer to an origin for the alphabet via St Jerome, prior to the Cyrillo-Methodian mission. I have named the thread -Macedonia and Croatia - because that is where the letters survived the longest. Putting that aside, I have stumbled across an excellent Croatian website that provides an online transliteration into Glagolica letters.

    Check this link:




    Write your name in or a few words and see how it looks in Glagolica.
    In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

        Thanks fellas.

        Bij, I was thinking the same thing about the tattoo, Glagolica letters look tough!

        Here's an example of what it looks like for those that haven't given it an attempt yet:

          haha.

          This is great.

          Vasil Bogov had included a good summary of the various Glagolitic texts that have been preserved. I have the book and will add to this.

              There's a Macedonian guy my the name of Sash Trajkovski who is a tattoo Artist in Sydney
              who does allot of Tattooing for the Macedonians

              I'm wanting to get the SUN on my shoulder..but still can't make that big decision..lol
              We should do a new thread on Macedonians with Tattoo's..?
              The Macedonians originates it, the Bulgarians imitate it and the Greeks exploit it!
