Cyril and Methodius didn't create Cyrillic. That's a very common misconception. They created the Glagolitic[1] alphabet which was a precursor script. Cyrillic was developed later by their students and other scholars in the Preslav Literary School[2]. They named it Cyrillic to honour the brothers, but the brothers themselves didn't create Cyrillic.

You weren't saying the brothers created Cyrillic. As for whether they were Greek/Bulgarian I cannot say. I've read different opinions on that throughout the years. Definitely Byzantine, but anything else I cannot say. |
