What is the Soviets had continued their process of Latinizing the cyrillic alphabet?
??
If you mean that one proposed Latin-based Russian orthography from the 1920s, that would be interesting but honestly very unlikely (read "I doubt anyone would agree to that").
I read that it had been instituted and ultimately abandoned.
That would lead to total confusion. Most likely would be a transitional period with both alphabets used.Based on the experience of other countries throughout history, I think that the latinization of Russian woud be done gradually (as in, Chirillic letters are gradually replaced with latin ones, a few at a time).
Do you know of any historical paralells, where two alphabets were used together? To me it seems a bit too complicated.That would lead to total confusion. Most likely would be a transitional period with both alphabets used.
In former Yugoslavia. Gajica latin alphabet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaj's_Latin_alphabetDo you know of any historical paralells, where two alphabets were used together? To me it seems a bit too complicated.
Allso, introducing a whole new alphabet overnight would probably be met with greater resistance from the general public.
