Sasha: neither of these is a Slavic language. Poland has been using latin alphabet for long centuries and never used cyrillic so it has nothing to do with our culture. Polish is a western slavic language first of all.

....and yet nonetheless, a linguistic descendant of Rurik the Slav. It's a fact though, that Roman Catholicism did much to "Westernize" Polish, certainly more than Greek Orthodoxy did for Russian etc..

I know I just pointed out that it's wrong to draw linguistic parallels between Slavic and Roman languages.

That doesn't theoretically restrict using a non-Latin alphabet, does it?

save for that Rurik wasn't actually a Slav. :)

Ah yes, he was actually a Swede (in disguise!):-)) LOL
